Performance & Drive System
The 1510G is powered by a high-output John Deere diesel engine with multiple driveline modes for optimized fuel efficiency. Its hydrostatic-mechanical transmission and heavy-duty bogie axles ensure excellent tractive force and stability across steep, soft, or uneven forest floors. Adaptive driveline control adjusts power delivery in real time, helping the machine perform smoothly under varying loads and conditions.
Boom Control & Load Handling
With Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) available, operators can handle timber with greater speed and precision. IBC allows smooth, controlled movements with automatic damping at articulation points, significantly reducing wear and operator fatigue. The long-reach boom options (up to 10 meters) provide exceptional reach in dense or scattered logging environments.

Climate-controlled cabin with low noise levels
-
High-visibility glazing and work lighting

Adjustable suspension seating for long working hours
Smart Forestry Features
The 1510G is compatible with integrated forestry software and real-time jobsite visualization systems (where available). These systems allow for efficient log tracking, route planning, and performance monitoring — helping crews stay productive and efficient on every shift.
Durability & Service
John Deere’s reputation for build quality is evident in the 1510G’s frame, axles, and boom system. With a simplified electrical system, centralized service points, and remote diagnostics capabilities, maintenance is fast and efficient. Long-bogie options offer improved weight distribution on softer ground, reducing environmental impact and extending uptime.
