Key Features
6.8 L IT4 Certified engine
Total Machine Control
Hydraulically-driven cool-on-demand fan
Innovative V-cool design provides convenient access to both sides of the coolers
Productivity
The 6.8 L PowerTech™ diesel engine is certified to U.S. EPA Interim Tier 4 emissions. Our IT4/EU Stage IIIB technology is simple, fuel efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported. It employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOx, and a diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst to reduce particulate matter. During the work cycle, periodic passive regeneration automatically cleans the diesel particulate filter (DPF) without impacting machine productivity. No productivity loss or idling downtime on this machine.
Full-featured hydrostatic drive train delivers full power turns, infinite speed range, infinitely variable track speeds, and automatic load sensing.
Total Machine Control lets you precisely match machine response and operating characteristics to operator preferences for increased flexibility and productivity.
Standard, LT, WT, and LGP configurations are available with inside-mount power-angle-tilt and outside-mount straight and semi-U blades.
Purpose-built mainframes for PAT and outside-mount blades allow optimized component placement for uncompromised grading ability.
Equipped with optional Integrated Grade Control (IGC), adding your preferred grade-control system is as simple as plugging in the components, calibrating and going to work.
Comfort
Cab-forward design provides a commanding view behind, below, and beyond the blade. Side and rear visibility is also unobstructed.
Oil-filled cab mounts and extensive insulation effectively isolate operators from vibration and noise. At just 77 dBa, the cab is noticeably quiet.
Standard deluxe high-back air suspension seat with optional heated lower cushion option adjusts multiple ways for daylong comfort and support. Arm and footrests also adjust.
Ergonomically correct transmission joystick provides intuitive, low-effort control of steering, direction, and ground speed. It’s detented so it doesn’t require an operator’s constant touch, and employs a thumb-actuated travel-speed control switch.
Exclusive TMC lets you customize decelerator mode and response, forward/reverse ground speed ranges, steering modulation, FNR shift rate, and forward/reverse speed ratios.
Uptime/Service
Hinged side shields swing open wide for convenient access to dipsticks, fill tubes, batteries, master electrical shutoff, and engine, transmission, and hydraulic filters.
Separate hydraulic and hydrostatic reservoirs, eliminating the possibility of cross contamination. Sight gauges reveal fluid levels at a glance.
Fluid sample ports, remote drive system test ports, and onboard diagnostic messaging allow quick troubleshooting.
Innovative V-cool design provides convenient access to both sides of the coolers for easy clean out, plus isolates coolers away from engine heat for increased efficiency and durability.
Hydraulic-driven fan automatically speeds up or slows down, operating as needed to keep things cool. Helps conserve power and fuel, while reducing noise and radiator core wear. Fan automatically reverses at pre-set intervals to clear cooler-clogging buildup. When working conditions demand more frequent cleaning, simply press a button on the sealed switch module to manually actuate the reversing cycle.
Operator station tilts a full 70 degrees in only minutes for wide-open access to internal components.
Service ADVISOR Remote allows your dealer to upgrade software, read diagnostic trouble codes, and record performance data remotely to save technician trips to the field (requires active JDLink telematics system subscription).
