The 50G (36 hp) and 60G (53 hp) Compact Excavators, which join John Deere’s G-Series line, feature a wide variety of improvements, many of which affect the cab design to improve visibility, operator comfort and productivity.
- Both models outfitted with a DOC/DPF after-treatment device to meet the Final Tier 4 emissions requirements
- Both models incorporate an auto-idle feature that slows engine speed when the pilot-control levers are momentarily released; for reduced fuel consumption and noise
- New door design for improved entry and visibility to the left side of the machine
- Within the operator station, a multifunction monitor provides a coolant temperature and fuel gauge, clock, two trip meters, regeneration inhibit, auto shut down control, and machine hours
- A third service door for improved access to the cooling core; the cores were also positioned side-by-side rather than being stacked in-line for increased cooling performance
- Similar to all G-Series models, these include unique features such as an oil-impregnated boom, and arm and bucket bushings to help deliver unsurpassed long-term durability
- Can be equipped with an optional, hydraulic, adjustable-angle backfill blade that features 25° of adjustment to both the left and right for more efficient trench backfilling
- Standard coupler accommodates a wide variety of available attachments such as hydraulic breakers and augers
- Choose the tracks that are best suited for the work: rubber, steel, or steel with rubber pads
