Following the introduction of Intelligent Boom Control technology on to the John Deere 900 MH-Series Tracked Harvesters earlier this year, John Deere has introduced Intelligent Boom Control on to its 800 MH-Series Tracked Harvesters.
Now available on the 803MH, 853MH, and 858MH models, Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) technology is a boom tip guidance technology that improves consistent boom motion and speed throughout the harvesting envelope.
What is Intelligent Boom Control?
-
Recently making its debut on the 900 MH-Series Tracked Harvester machines and now available on the 803MH, 853MH, and 858MH models, Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) technology is a boom tip guidance technology that improves consistent boom motion and speed throughout the harvesting envelope.
-
Operators can control the boom tip and attachment position directly with one joystick instead of each independent boom cylinder function.
-
The automation logic commands boom and jib functions simultaneously by monitoring special sensors in the boom cylinders.
-
This technology also helps the operator maintain constant boom speed during parallel motion at any boom reach.
-
IBC technology automatically adjusts swing speed and boom tip trajectory depending on working height, terrain, and work cycle requirements.
Intelligent Boom Control Benefits
-
IBC technology promotes a reduced learning curve for new operators by providing intuitive operator assistance.
-
The faster cycle times and more precise control require less finesse and hand-eye coordination for the operator.
-
Tree damage is greatly reduced, especially during thinning applications.
-
This technology also offers increased machine and attachment life by actively dampening all functions, protecting boom structure during operation.
-
IBC also provides precise positioning of cut stems for use in TimberMatic Maps.
Availability
- 800 MH-Series Tracked Harvesters with Intelligent Boom Control technology are available for order now.
