KEY FEATURES
- Final Tier 4-certified diesel engine.
- Standard heavy-duty boom.
- Heavy-duty 3.2 m (10 ft. 6 in.) arm.
- Heavy-duty undercarriage and frame
- Larger hood for improved engine access.
PRODUCTIVITY
- Generous flow, arm force, and swing torque help speed cycles. So you can do your best to stay on schedule or ahead of the weather.
- Powerwise™ III perfectly balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation. Three productivity modes allow you to choose the digging style that fits the job. High-productivity delivers more power and faster hydraulic response to move more material. Power delivers a balance of power, speed, and fuel economy for normal operation. Economy limits top speed and helps save fuel.
- Low-effort joysticks, unmatched metering, and smooth multifunction operation deliver the control and finesse you need for utility work.
- When the task calls for a little extra, simply press the power-boost button on the right-hand control and muscle through
- Auto-idle automatically reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren't in use. Auto-shutdown further preserves precious fuel.
- Optional cab, hood, and right-side boom lights provide extra illumination to extend your workday beyond normal daylight hours.
ENGINE AND COOLING
- A rugged EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV PowerTech™ diesel engine meets rigid emission regulations, enabling you to work, wherever there's work — without compromising power, reliability, or ease of operation.
- Our field-proven technology is simple, fluid efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported. It employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), easy-to-maintain high-uptime exhaust filters, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Ash-service intervals for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are condition based, with the machine notifying the operator before service is required.
- Highly efficient, heavy-duty cooling system keeps things cool, even in tough environments or high altitudes. Optional reversing fan back-blows cooler cores to reduce debris buildup. It's a welcome addition that helps increase uptime.
- Cooler cores' 10-fin-per-inch spacing lets trash easily pass to resist plugging. Swing-out coolers provide added core access.
STRUCTURES AND UNDERCARRIAGE
- A new hood design ensures optimal visibility to the sides and rear, even with the increased under-the-hood space requirements of EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV components.
- A John Deere exclusive, three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress for unsurpassed durability. Booms, arms, and mainframes are so tough; they're warranted for three years or 10,000 hours.
- Tungsten-carbide coating creates an extremely wear-resistant surface to protect the all-important bucket-to-arm joint. Oil-impregnated bushings enhance durability and extend grease intervals to 500 hours for the arm-and-boom joint and 100 hours for the bucket joint.
- Thick-plate single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames, and industry- exclusive double-seal swing bearing deliver rock-solid durability.
- With large idlers, rollers, and strutted links, the sealed and lubricated under-carriage delivers long and reliable performance.
- Reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component protection.
CAB AND MONITOR
- Operators will also appreciate the comfortable fabric-covered high-back seat and generous legroom in the spacious, well-appointed cab. As always, unsurpassed all-round visibility, low-effort joysticks, a highly efficient HVAC system, and numerous other amenities provide everything your operators need to do their best work.
- Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip control with less movement or effort. Pushbuttons in the right lever allow fingertip control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments.
- 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.
- Wide expanse of front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, large overhead glass, and numerous mirrors provide virtually unobstructed all-around visibility.
- If you need to see more, choose the optional camera that displays the action behind on the monitor.
- Automatic, high-velocity bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers helps keep the glass clear and the cab comfortable.
SERVICE AND UPTIME
- Swing open the side panels and you'll discover many of the numerous ways this excavator can minimize maintenance, increase uptime, and reduce daily operating costs. A second door has been added to the right side of the machine to provide even more wide-open access to components.
- LCD monitor tracks scheduled maintenance intervals and issues reminders, including DPF servicing. Should a problem arise, it provides diagnostic information to help decrease downtime.
- Vertical spin-on fuel and engine oil filters are positioned in the right rear compartment for simplified ground-level servicing.
- Diagnostic displays and fluid-sample ports help speed preventative maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Centralized lube banks place difficult-to-lube zerks within easy reach. They make greasing less messy and time consuming, too.
- Grooved bushings and thermal-coated bucket joints increase arm and boom lube intervals to 500 hours.
- Ground-level fresh-air cab filter is quickly serviced from outside the cab. Where it's more likely to get done.
