John Deere Log Skidders

John Deere Skid Steers

640H Cable Skidders

A Hard Day's Work Was Never So Easy
Working hard or hardly working? With a cab this comfortable, it can be hard to tell. The roomy interior now has a warm, fully finished look with stylish contoured consoles throughout. The seat swivels from 15 degrees to a neck-saving 30 degrees from center. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes.

Just Tell It To "Go Fetch"
The 640G-III goes where you want it to, and pulls a bigger drag faster, and in a higher gear than ordinary skidders. Now you have a choice to couple a direct-drive OR torque-converter transmission to the powerful John Deere engine.

Synch the wheels with full diff-lock for maximum traction, or unlock them for less tire scuffing. A full 90 degrees of frame articulation ensures tight turns, and the long wheelbase and wide stance provide unmatched stability.
