You’ll become
a big fan of the
G-Series.
Swing open the service panels and engine covers, and you’ll
discover many of the numerous ways we minimize maintenance,
increase uptime, and reduce daily operating costs. Take the G-Series’
heavy-duty cooling systems, for example. Their hydraulically driven
fans run only as fast or often as needed, reducing fuel consumption
and wear-causing debris fl ow through the cooler cores. As always,
grouped service points make quick work of the daily routine. Plus,
easy-to-check sight gauges and fl uid reservoirs, quick-change
remote-mounted fi lters, and advanced self-diagnostics all help
ensure that maintenance is no big deal.

Wide, slip-resistant steps and
“Deere-walk,” sturdy handrails,
and large easy-to-open service
doors provide convenient access to
grouped service points and major
components.
Auto-idle automatically reduces
engine speed when hydraulics
aren’t in use. Auto shutdown
further preserves precious fuel.
Diesel particulate fi lter is easily
removed through the top of the
engine compartment. Minimum
service interval is 4,500 hours, and
can be done by your John Deere
dealer.
Advanced self-diagnostics help
you make timely decisions about
machine upkeep.
Large fuel tanks and 500- and
4,000-hour engine and hydraulic oil-
service intervals decrease downtime
for routine maintenance.
Centralized lube banks place
diffi cult-to-lube zerks within easy
reach. Convenient color-coded chart
helps ensure that nothing gets
overlooked.
