Since John Deere’s acquisition of Timberjack last year, the company has worked to expand its range of forestry equipment and recently, the John Deere Forestry Group entered the knuckleboom log loader market with three purpose-built machines, the 335, 435 and 535 loaders, which feature optional delimbers and slashers.
Several accidents in the Nova Scotia forest industry have occurred this year when the turntable bearings on knuckleboom loaders have broken free, causing the loader to fall. Investigations showed that several bolts, which attach the turntable bearing to the body of the vehicle, appeared to have been broken for some time. Those broken bolts placed additional strain on the remaining bolts. Those bolts eventually broke, causing the loader to fall.
