John Deere has updated its 470G LC Excavator to meet Final Tier 4 emissions standards and help customers boost their productivity on the job.
The 367-horsepower machine now comes with a fully-loaded EPA Final Tier 4 13.5-liter diesel engine, as well as a spacious cab for more operator comfort. An enhanced LCD monitor and simplified navigation system make the excavator easier than ever to maneuver on-site.
"The construction industry continues to demand machinery that features enhanced uptime capabilities and technology that enhances the customer's bottom line," said Mark Wall, excavator product marketing manager for John Deere Construction & Forestry. "Our production-class excavator portfolio continues to enhance itself with the 470G LC, which includes an automatically cleaning diesel particulate filter (DPF) and optional 2D/3D grade guidance sensor mounting brackets, offering contractors a durable solution for earth moving, pipeline and road-building projects."
In addition to more horsepower, the John Deere 470G LC Excavator has optional 2D/3D grade guidance sensor-mounting brackets. This allows users to install their preferred aftermarket grade-control system. The machine can work for up to 15,000 hours before ash removal, and its engine and hydraulic oil sample ports make maintenance a breeze.
For customers interested in smart features, the John Deere 470G LC has an engine/hydraulic-management system with multiple productivity modes. This allows for more predictable operation throughout the workday.
