Features

Intelligent Boom Control

  • Optional Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) smoothes boom operations, making them more precise and efficient, to increase operator productivity compared to a 1270G without IBC.
  • IBC improves the precision of attachment positioning, especially at extended reaches. Joystick movements deliver consistently smooth boom speed, no matter how far the boom is extended.
  • With IBC, operators no longer need to control each independent boom function separately. Just control the attachment position, and IBC automatically guides the boom and cylinders accordingly. IBC also automatically controls swing speed based on the overall position of the attachment.
  • IBC is easily configurable to user preference, so operators can adapt their motions to the application. The IBC control pattern that works best for each operator can also be selected, further enhancing personal ease of use. Individual user settings can be saved in separate profiles, to accommodate multiple skill and experience levels.

Rotating Cab

  • Rotating and smooth-leveling cab turns 160 degrees to provide 360-degree visibility of surroundings and boom movements. Auto-leveling cab keeps the operator balanced and comfortable in steep and uneven terrain.

Far From the Daily Grind

  • Grouped checkpoints and optional central lubrication system speed daily checks and greasing.
  • Hydraulic-driven variable-speed fan runs only as needed, reducing fuel consumption and debris flow through the cooler cores. It's programmable to reverse at periodic intervals to clear core-clogging buildup.

Six- and Eight-Wheeled Configurations

  • With the power to handle large trees, the six-wheeled 1270G is an exceptional all-around harvester.
  • This model is also available in an eight-wheel-drive option for conditions that call for maximum traction and climbing ability.

It's Easy to See

  • Standard RENCRAFT® Super Hard Coat polycarbonate windows are scratch resistant, easy to clean, and optically enhanced. These windows fulfill ISO 21876 standard for saw-chain shot protection.
  • Plus, with almost 50-percent-thicker material than previous windows, the cab is better insulated and quieter, too.
