Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Peachtree City, Georgia for John Deere’s unveiling of their new L and M series of skidders and cutters. On February 11, Southern Loggin’ Times was part of a small group invited by John Deere to take a first-hand look at its new L and M series machines. The event, held in Peachtree City, Ga., took place during training sessions for dealers that lasted from January till March. Deere refers to the L-Series skidders and wheeled feller-bunchers and M-Series tracked feller-bunchers and harvesters as “Game Changers.” According to Marty Wilkinson, Vice President, Worldwide Construction and Forestry Division, developing the L and M series has been the largest investment Deere has made in the timber business since the acquisition of Timberjack 15 years ago.
