John Deere (USA) has introduced the D-series Swing Machines, including three purpose-built models — the 2154D, 2454D and 2954D. Engineered to withstand the toughest forest environments, the D-series are designed for improved durability, productivity, and low maintenance costs.

D-series key features include an upper frame with a stronger boom and solid under-decking with removable service panels, efficient hydraulic system that automatically matches the power output to the load. Standard 277-gallon fuel tank allows for extended run times between fill-ups. The machines are equipped best-in-class Waratah Forestry Attachments.

John Deere has designed the cabs to increase productivity and operator comfort. Based on the application, cabs come mounted on either a 7-in. (178 mm) fixed or 48-in. (1,219 mm) hydraulically tilting riser for ease of entry. All cabs have easily accessible joystick controls and switches, and sightlines that enable maximized worksite visibility. A rear-entry cab is optional.
