SmartGrade integrates harnesses and components into the machine for added convenience, making external masts or harnesses a thing of the past. SmartGrade™ - John Deere’s fully integrated 3D GNSS grade control system.Joystick Mode – allows operators to grade manually with the system automating blade movements to maintain the grade of the last operator input.Target Mode - allows the operator to set a target blade slope while the system automatically controls the blade to maintain the set target.Live Mode - gives operators a visual indicator of the machines slope, allowing operators to manually maintain and carry out their preferred slope.

Slope control can be used in multiple ways.

Slope Control – Assists operators in maintaining desired slopes, both main and cross slopes.

EZ Grade – Standard on EH controlled small dozers, EZ Grade simplifies operation and makes it easier to grade smooth finish passes by automating blade movements and correcting for changes in the machines pitch.

From standard EZ Grade to optional slope control and 3D SmartGrade™, grade management technology helps solve labor challenges by simplifying operation and making it easier to achieve the desired grade. John Deere precision construction technology is upgradeable, allowing customers to add technology over the machine’s lifecycle. Improve efficiency and complete tasks easier using the latest technology on John Deere’s small dozers. Technology offerings integrated into easy-to-use touchscreen displays

Updated controls – Operators will appreciate the proportional blade angle roller switch, and a rocker switch to change travel direction all integrated into low effort ergonomically designed joysticks.

Adjustable hydraulic and transmission response settings that can be tailored to any operator preference.

Configurable hydraulic and transmission settings – Every operator is different, with varying techniques and preferences.

The new monitor displays the rear-view camera, slope control (if equipped), and machine configurable settings.

Advanced display – The NEW 203-mm (8-in.) touch-screen display makes navigation and interacting with slope control easy.

Avoids scattering switches throughout the cab and conveniently centralizes buttons which enable features such as automatic turbocharger cool-down, auto shutdown, auto idle, and eco mode

Sealed Switch Module (SSM) - Reduces complexity by significantly reducing the number of wires and mechanical switches while also allowing low-effort control of keyless start.

The re-profiled hood has been dropped 127 mm (5 in.) on the 650 P and 178 mm (7 in.) on the 450 P and 550 P improving overall forward visibility.

All of this with an added rear-view camera that is displayed on a larger and brighter 203-mm (8-in.) touchscreen monitor provides more awareness on busy jobsites.

Maximum visibility – An added LED light package along with a redesigned hood profile that is lowered, provides exceptional visibility.The updated cab is 14% larger for convenient storage space and easier ingress/egress. Comfort – An enhanced heated & ventilated seat with leather surround and automatic temperature-controlled HVAC system will keep operators refreshed every time they get in the cab.
