- Powerful technology John Deere Powerwise Plus™ technology delivers on-demand power. Precise pump flow when pilot controls are metered provides reliable, fuel-efficient machine performance.
- In your comfort zone Quiet and spacious cab features standard rearview camera for enhanced awareness. Sculpted mechanical-suspension high-back seat that slides together or independent of the joystick console helps keep operators comfortably supported.
- Know as you go Multi-language LCD monitor and rotary dial provide intuitive access to a wealth of information and functions. Just turn and tap to select work mode, access operating info, check maintenance intervals, source diagnostic codes, adjust cab temperature, and tune the radio. Plus much more.
- Effortless control Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot joysticks enable smooth, precise fingertip control with less movement or effort. Push buttons in the right lever allow predictable control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments. Optional sliding switch provides proportional speed control.
- See it like never before Integrated into the main monitor, optional right rear left camera system with additional LED surround lighting work together to supplement 270-degree visibility of the area around the machine, even in low-light conditions.
- Keep moving forward Hydraulic single-pedal propel system is a factory-installed option that enables straightline machine tracking without
operator articulation of both hand levers and both foot pedals. - The choice is yours Choose from a variety of track widths, arm lengths, buckets, high-flow auxiliary hydraulic packages, and other options to suit the application.
- Boost your leverage When the digging gets tough, simply press the standard powerboost button on the right-hand control for more hydraulic muscle.
- Tough enough Large idlers, rollers, and strutted links enable the sealed and lubricated undercarriage to withstand and command. Track-frame undercovers help keep debris from accumulating. Three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress.
- Light things up Standard LED work lights with optional deluxe LED lights at cab front and rear, boom, and toolbox shine when your workday extends beyond daylight. They use less power, output more light, and last longer than halogens, and are easy to replace when necessary.
- You’ll be a fan Highly efficient heavy-duty cooling system keeps things cool, even in tough environments or high altitudes. Coolon-demand suction-type fan helps reduce material buildup and maintenance.
- Change things up
