Reliable Forestry Solutions: Quadco Headers and John Deere Equipment


At Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry, we are committed to offering top-tier solutions that drive efficiency and productivity for our customers. One of the most recent combinations we’ve seen is the integration of Quadco harvesting heads with our John Deere equipment. This pair not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures safety and reliability in the most challenging forestry conditions.

Quadco Harvesting Heads: Unmatched Performance and Compatibility

Quadco is renowned for its high-performance harvesting heads, designed to tackle the toughest forestry tasks with unmatched precision and reliability. These headers are built with high-quality materials such as abrasion-resistant steel and reinforced components to withstand extreme conditions and heavy use, ensuring durability and longevity in the harshest environments. The efficiency of Quadco headers is further enhanced by their optimized feed rollers and knife systems, which provide smooth, precise cuts and minimize fiber damage. For those looking to get more out of their jobsite, Quadco headers are compatible with a wide range of machines, including the John Deere 959 Tracked Feller Buncher. This compatibility allows forestry professionals to seamlessly integrate Quadco headers into their existing equipment, making them a preferred choice for those seeking to maximize their operational efficiency and output.

Campbell Contract Cutting Case Study

Wade Campbell of Campbell Contract Cutting shared insights on their operations and the significant impact of using John Deere machines with Quadco headers, in our latest Customer Case Study.

“One of the most extreme factors that we face out here is sending those machines down hills, long cables…We’ve gone from hand-cut and steep slopes to now we’re fully mechanized, cutting steep slopes and just using hand cutters where need be.”

Thanks to the advanced technology and reliability of their equipment, Campbell Contract Cutting can focus more on the job at hand, ensuring their crew stays productive and safe. Wade also emphasized the critical role of customer service and parts availability provided by Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry.

“What keeps us coming back is customer service and parts. The people at Papé, they stand there behind us. If we’re broke down, they try to get somebody out here and they do a good job with our new machines, usually send the guy out on the day of the new one, and he stays here all day with us and make sure everything’s going accordingly. So it’s customer service and availability on the parts. That’s what keeps us coming back.”

At Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry, we are dedicated to providing equipment solutions that drive success for our customers. The integration of Quadco headers with John Deere machines exemplifies how combining the right tools can lead to exceptional results. Campbell Contract Cutting’s experience in Cottage Grove, OR, is a testament to the powerful pairing of these machines.
