Unmatched support from AFGRI Equipment
The evolution of modern forestry machinery has ushered in an era where technology plays a crucial role in delivering faster cycle times and improved efficiency. Today, this advancement reaches new heights with the debut of the John Deere H Series harvesters and forwarders, possibly the most technologically advanced machinery from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
In an industry where technological advancements can evoke mixed reactions, ranging from excitement to scepticism, AFGRI Equipment is a steadfast partner.

NEW JOHN DEERE H-SERIES
The new large-size class John Deere H Series harvesters and forwarders demonstrate the strength of innovative technology in forestry.
These robust machines set a new benchmark in the logging industry, boasting higher productivity, significantly lower fuel consumption, enhanced stability, and improved operator ergonomics. The H-Series machines come standard with Intelligent Boom Control (IBC). This revolutionary feature minimises the need for user interaction by allowing operators to focus solely on the grapple rather than the boom joint movements. This shift significantly enhances productivity by simplifying operations and reducing operator fatigue, an undeniable win for any forestry operation.
But the H Series doesn’t stop there. These machines are equipped with intuitive technologies like JDLink, which provides real-time insights into machine production, health monitoring, and over-the-air fault diagnosis. JDLink, paired with AFGRI Equipment’s Connected Support, ensures your equipment consistently performs at its best.
The dealer-connected support centre monitors your machines, proactively addressing potential issues before they lead to downtime. This combination of advanced features and proactive support is designed to maximise uptime and boost productivity, which are critical factors in the success of any forestry operation.
