The old saying, “oil is oil,” is simply not the case today with new hydraulic fluid specifications from John Deere that promise performance for forestry and construction equipment for years to come. 

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of the new John Deere Hydrau™ and Hydrau™ XR formula.

The John Deere Hydrau and Hydrau XR (extended ambient temperature range) formulas are specifically designed for all-season use in hydraulic and hydrostatic construction and forestry equipment. Both formulas have over 29,000 hours of field testing to ensure that they outperform other oils by resisting oxidation and wear.

In July of 2014, John Deere ForestSight hit the market, integrating a full suite of technology data and solutions to help loggers better manage their equipment and operations. With this, loggers can save time and money while having a longer lasting line up of forestry machinery.

We’re here to explain some of the key benefits that you can obtain from using this product and hopefully provide you with a much better understanding of the advanced technology incorporated in it. Let’s jump right into the details.

Why John Deere ForestSight?

John Deere Dealer Locator

MachineFinder.com is excited to announce the addition of a John Deere Dealer Locator tool to MachineFinder which will allow customers to search for dealer locations on MachineFinder in North America. MachineFinder will list Agricultural & Turf and Construction & Forestry dealer locations that participate with MachineFinder. Customers can navigate to the Dealer Locator by clicking on the ‘Dealers’ tab located on the MachineFinder.com pages.

MachineFinder aims to bring you enterprise-wide equipment listings, and toward that end, it has now expanded to include used construction and forestry machines from our John Deere Construction & Forestry ( C&F ) dealers. This transition will result in no change or disruption to your normal dealings on MachineFinder.com.

The change took place December 1st, when MachineFinder replaced UsedConnection as the construction and forestry web portal.

Buyers of construction and forestry equipment will enjoy several enhancements as a result of the move, including a user-friendly site, multi-lingual formats, greater public traffic, mapping technologies, quicker inventory searches, thumbnail pictures for dealer inventories, ability to track specific dealer listings, and construction appeal and graphics.

The John Deere Construction and Forestry Division was established in the mid-1950′s, back then called the Industrial Equipment Division. Deere began producing forestry machines in earnest at that time, but in reality, Deere products have been working in the woods since the early part of the last century. Today’s tough-but-smart machines can cut an entire tree into precisely measured sections in a matter of seconds. After rapidly sawing the tree from the base, the processing head keeps hold, dropping the tree parallel to the ground then quickly pulling it through, delimbing and cutting to desired length. It’s the very latest technology for an age-old profession.

It’s really something to see all the detail and precision that goes along with a Deere machine recreated on a smaller scale. These miniature forestry units from Edward J. Wagoner’s photostream depict machines built for big work on a very small scale, and even in action.
