Redesigned 5.2-L 129-kW (173 net hp) diesel engine meets FT4 emission regulations without aftertreatment devices, for enhanced reliability.

Lightweight, split-type hood that allows wide-open access to the engine from the front and same-side filters and water separator at ground level simplify maintenance.

Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip control with less movement and effort.

The F-N-R directional switch is now conveniently located on the left-hand pilot lever, making it easier to control the blade and stabilizer functions.

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.

New hood design, expanded front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, overhead glass, and numerous mirrors provide optimal visibility.

Swing open the side panels on either side of the machine to provide even more wide-open access to components.

Mono boom delivers the reach and lift capacity you need for long-distance work. Or opt for a two-piece boom for added versatility.

A John Deere exclusive, three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress for amazing durability.
