John Deere 953M Swing Loader

The John Deere 953M Swing Loader is a must have piece of equipment for any logging operation. It is capable of loading any size logs that your operation may be cutting. With its adjustable swing boom maneuvering tree length logs or cut to length timber is a breeze. The 953M has received an entirely new make over with redesigned cab interior, improved grapple size and strength, and an elevated cab option which raises the operator higher above the tracks and gives you the ability to manually tilt the cab as needed. It will also be available in a standard 953 version which is a ridged frame that offers no manual tilt. Also new in this edition is improved engine sounds. Maintain your loading decks like never before with John Deere Power and technology.

Peak Power: 246 kW (330 hp) @ 1,900 rpm
Max. Speed: 3.6 km/h (2.2 mph)
Tractive Effort: 373 kN (83,880 lbf)
