Benefits
Easy to Maintain, Straightforward to Service
John Deere’s small dozers feature simplified maintenance and improved uptime, compared to previous models, thanks to optimized hose and harness routing that reduces leak points and ground-level access to vertical spin-on filters. The hydraulic oil change interval has doubled to 4,000 hours, significantly lowering maintenance costs.
Improved Visibility, Space, and Comfort
John Deere small dozers feature a 14% larger cab compared to previous models, with a heated, ventilated leather seat and improved visibility through a lowered hood and LED lighting. An 8-in. (20.3-cm) touchscreen, centralized controls, and customizable settings enhance operator comfort and performance.
Grade Control Solutions
John Deere precision construction technology enables operators to make accurate grading passes while significantly reducing re-work. The best part, our machine technology can be upgraded at any time, from entry level to advanced, now you have the flexibility to upgrade when the time is right.
