John Deere has rolled out its all-new 850 X-Tier Dozer, delivering increased power, performance and sustainability with E-Drive technology.
As well, John Deere has announced upgrades to the 700, 750 and 850 P-Tier dozers to improve job site productivity, reduce fuel consumption and enhance operator comfort with SmartGrade technology, improved visibility and a new cab.
Building on its legacy of E-Drive innovation, the 850 X-Tier Dozer boosts power, efficiency and precision for dozer applications. The dozer was displayed at ConExpo 2023 as a concept machine.
“The 850 X-Tier Dozer is a powerhouse machine designed to be fuel efficient and productive in challenging jobsites,” said Matt Costello, Product Marketing Manager, John Deere. “From enhanced operator comfort to advanced SmartGrade technology, this machine helps the operator move dirt fast with precision.”
E-Drive machines feature an electrified drivetrain with an engine as the main power source. The machines enable better fuel economy, improved powertrain component life and stronger pushing power on the job than traditional models. The 850 X-Tier dozer utilizes dual path electric drive technology for added simplicity over traditional drivetrains and optimizes torque delivery and reduces machine complexity.
Building of the success of Deere’s L-Series cab, the 850 X-Tier enhances operator comfort and visibility, featuring 14 per cent more glass area, ergonomic controls and an Advanced Vision System for improved job site awareness. Designed for minimal downtime, the dozer also features a tilting cab, allowing quick access to E-Drive components for easy diagnostics and maintenance.
P-Tier dozers
John Deere has also enhanced the 700, 750 and 850 P-Tier dozers with next-generation technology, to maximize job site productivity.
SmartGrade capabilities include EZGrade, SmartGrade ready with 2D grade control and 3D SmartGrade, providing operators with precise grading control and enhanced situational awareness.
The SmartGrade platform provides plug and play capabilities for laser and total station control allowing customers access to more jobsites. Larger touchscreen displays simplify navigation and setup for machine operation, ensuring a more intuitive experience.
Operator-focused features, included in the P-Tier and X-Tier models, include heated and ventilated seat options, expanded storage and enhanced climate control, for more comfort in all working conditions. Auto-load and carry automatically adjusts blade settings based on ground conditions, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
“With advanced SmartGrade capabilities and enhanced operator features, our latest P-Tier dozers are engineered for greater efficiency and control,” Costello said.
“These updates deliver the reliability and performance operators need to tackle even the most challenging projects.”
