Productivity

Powerful digging forces and parallel lift - the Powerllel linkage's patented design delivers the best of both. So you can have your loader and forklift, too.

The power in the Powerllel linkage comes from an innovative design that allows load forces to work with, not against, the boom. For big breakout in tough digging. 

PowerTech Plus™ diesel delivers an impressive torque rise that tops out at a whopping 55 percent. Plus, a built-in Power Bulge generates additional horsepower when the rpms drop.

Powershift torque-converter transmission employs smart-shift technology to continuously evaluate speed and load conditions, and continuously adjusts clutch-pack engagement to suit. For extra productivity without extra effort.

Worksite Pro™ quick-coupler lets you quickly and easily switch attachments without leaving the seat. It's standard equipment, letting you go from bucket, to forks, whatever, and do more with one machine. 

Comfort

Choose from single-lever joystick or two lever fingertip pilot operated controls. Both include John Deere's innovative Quick Shift feature that allows pushbutton gear changes.

Backlit pushbuttons in the sealed touchpad allow fingertip control of numerous functions. No tools required to adjust boom height kick-out, return-to-carry, or return-to-dig.  

Standard air-ride seat adjusts multiple ways for extra comfort.

All-around visibility is unobstructed and eleven automotive-style louvers provide effective airflow to help keep the view clear, the cab comfortable.

Uptime/Service

Quad Cool™ places the radiator and transmission, hydraulic, and air-to-air coolers in a separate compartment for extra efficiency and decreased debris buildup. Optional reversing fan back-blows every 30 minutes to help keep cores clean.

All daily service points including fuel are on the left side for quick and convenient ground-level access.

Extended engine, hydraulic, and transmission service intervals contribute to low daily operating costs.

If something goes wrong, an advanced monitor gives easy-to-understand diagnostic messages and even offers possible solutions to help get you back up and running quickly.
