The new John Deere 700J Crawler Dozer uses the John Deere PowerTech 6068T engine that features a simple wet sleeve cylinder design that provides improved cooling for longer service life. The engine also features electronic fuel control for precision and increased reliability, a low rated engine speed for longer service life, a self-adjusting belt tensioner that reduces maintenance costs, and a coolant recovery system that simplifies maintenance. The oil change interval has been increased to 500 hours.
The new engine controller and transmission controller limit the range of throttle and transmission speed during the first few minutes after a cold start to extend component life. The dual path hydrostatic drive transmission provides infinite speed control, a power management system, live power turns, counter rotation, dynamic braking and automatic tracking control. The transmission controller now will display the hours and miles of operation of the machine in forward and reverse, which can help the equipment owner understand and manage undercarriage wear.
Cab doors are designed to open easily with new pull handles, and a redesigned instrument panel and metal dash have backlit rocker switches. A 12-volt power port is standard equipment for the operator's personal accessories.
“Dozers of this size are becoming increasingly more popular as contractors try to do multiple jobs with fewer machines,” says Brett Errthum, product marketing manager for John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The 700J offers the best combination of large blade capacity and finish grading capability in its size class.”
