Single mast grade control ready
John Deere™ tractor loaders have the option for a factory installed Grade Control Ready package which includes the base components needed for using a 2D or 3D grade technology system to control the box blade lift and tilt cylinders. Once the machine is received at the dealership, this option is then completed with a dealer supplied Top Con, Trimble, or Leica technology finishing kit.
- Accepts your preferred provider for grade control.
- Can facilitate dual mast or single mast plus slope sensor setup
- No hydraulic hose disconnections or bracket welding required for reduced dealer machine set-up.
- Allow the operator to complete finish grading, faster, easier, and with greater accuracy.
- Manual control and operation of the box blade is not affected when the grade technology is turned off.
Optional factory installed grade indicate is also available and provides an onboard read-out within the machine’s existing monitor that displays the cross slope (roll) and mainfall slope (pitch) of the machine within +/- 0.5% accuracy. This feature is indicate-only as reference to the operator.
Benefits
- Easy to use; entry-level technology for value-oriented customers.
- No special hardware or software required (beyond what is included on machine with the option)
- Real-time interface within the machine’s existing display screen
- Roll and Pitch viewable through the display as either “Absolute” value or “Relative” value and in degrees or percent.
