KEY FEATURES
Seeing is believing.
An optional camera array with LED-surround lighting integrated into the main monitor work together to supplement the 270-degree visibility of the area around the machine.
Plan for productivity.
The Powerwise Plus™ hydraulic management system balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for reliable operation in three modes:
- High productivity: Yields more power and a faster hydraulic response to move more material.
- Power: Delivers smooth, balanced metering for normal operation.
- Economy: Reduces engine rpm and helps save fuel.
Designed to deliver long life.
The improved front-joint durability with new bushings on the boom end and foot, better front-piping clamping, and strengthened undercarriage components compared to earlier models extend uptime and wear life. The larger front-piping diameter and new electric cooling fans can improve fuel efficiency by up to 5%.
Underneath it all.
A new integrated idler and adjuster on the undercarriage of the 250 P-Tier Excavator ease the greasing process, while strengthened idler bearing absorbs the brunt of whatever the track frame encounters, boosting wear life.
Control you can count on.
The short-throw pilot sticks are ergonomically optimized, enabling smooth and precise fingertip control with minimal movement or effort. Push buttons in the right lever allow predictable control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments.
Take a load off.
Its quiet and spacious cab features a standard rear-view camera for enhanced awareness. A sculpted high-back seat with mechanical-suspension slides with or without the joystick console, keeping operators comfortably supported.
Now you know.
The 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.
Get good grades.
The grade-reference-ready option includes sensor mounts to speed installation, eliminating the need to grind, weld, and repaint. The “open-architecture” design allows you to employ your favorite brand of grade-control system to maximize productivity and uptime while lowering daily operating costs.
See your work in a new light.
Standard LED work lights with optional deluxe LED lights positioned on the boom, toolbox, and cab front and rear shine when your workday extends beyond the daylight. These lights use less power, output more light, and last longer than halogens. They are also easy to replace when necessary.
Add some muscle.
When the digging gets tough, simply press the standard power-boost button on the right-hand control and muscle through.
Simplify your routine.
The large fuel tank, along with the 500-hour engine and 5000-hour hydraulic oil service intervals, decrease downtime for routine maintenance. Fluid-level sight gauges are conveniently located so operators can check them at a glance.
