Since the hydraulic system provides only the power
required, there’s no wasted horsepower or fuel.
When rpms drop below 2,200, the horsepower
actually goes up.
The John Deere Power Bulge advantage helps
maintain good boom and bucket speed into the pile.
Smart-shift technology ensures that gear changes
are smooth as silk, regardless of whether the
bucket is empty or fully loaded.
Responsive steering and full 80-degree articulation
increase maneuverability in tight quarters — for
fast cycle times and fewer “three-point” turns.
1. Backlit buttons in the sealed switch
module allow fingertip control of numerous
functions. No tools are required to adjust
boom height kick-out, return-to-carry, or
return-to-dig. Instead, the operator sets
these from the seat.
2. Return-to-dig places the attachment
at a predetermined level position. The
switch has two presets, for increased
convenience and productivity in
applications requiring frequent
changeover between attachments.
3. Boom height kick-out sets maximum
desired dump height, while return-to-
carry sets the lowered boom position.
Use these two John Deere advantages
to speed production in repetitive
loading applications.
