The B380 bundler unit, integrated with Total Machine Control for smooth operation, very tightly compresses, wraps and cuts a slash log, which can then be transported and used as biomass fuel. Each log provides about one megawatt hour of energy, equal to the electricity produced by 21 to 28 gallons of oil.
The bundling process is continuous so the length of the material does not restrict the work. The bundles are easily transported by timber trucks to the power plant.
The Energy Wood Harvester combines all the usual comforts of a John Deere machine for a stress-free shift, and the cab can be raised and shifted to the side for easy service access.
The new John Deere1490D is designed to effectively collect, compress and bundle logging residuals. One bundle contains 1 MWh of energy.
The 1490D is powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder John Deere diesel engine, electronically controlled with low emission levels, high torque rise and responsive power bulge in the work range.
