Looking to maximize your investment? John Deere P-Tier and X-Tier Construction dozers have technology that will increase productivity, allowing you to get to grade faster with fewer passes. John Deere precision construction technology enables operators to make accurate grading passes while significantly reducing re-work. The best part, our machine technology can be upgraded at any time, from entry level to advanced, now you have the flexibility to upgrade when the time is right.

• EZ Grade – EZ Grade simplifies operation and makes it easier to grade smooth finish passes by automating blade movements and correcting for changes in the machine’s pitch. EZ Grade runs in the background using the chassis and C-Frame IMU and is included with EH controls.
• Slope Control (Included in SmartGrade Ready) – is an entry-level grade control system that assists operators in grading smooth planar Slope Control allows the operator to view and set blade slope while the system automatically controls the blade to maintain desired slope in the G5^Plus display.
• SmartGrade™ Ready Including 2D Grade Control – SmartGrade™ ready includes the necessary harnesses needed to upgrade to full SmartGrade. The machines are pre-wired for SmartGrade with Topcon and Leica for seamless upgradability to full 3D with a field kit. SmartGrade™ Ready including 2D Grade Control also includes the touchscreen G5^Plus 12-in. display.  This adds the capability to plug and play 2D laser with no additional software needed. The 8-in. primary and G5^Plus displays are molded into the machine with a nice fit and finish. 
• SmartGrade™ – John Deere’s fully integrated 3D Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) grade control system. SmartGrade integrates harnesses and components into the machine for added convenience, making external masts or harnesses a thing of the past. SmartGrade on P-tier dozers is compatible with Topcon and Leica. SmartGrade licenses can be transferred from like machine to another like machine for increased flexibility.

For improved operator experience and situational awareness, John Deere dozers come with varying levels of vision systems and object detection to increase visibility and situational awareness from the operator’s seat. Each of these levels of camera systems are eligible for future upgrades as the jobsite evolves.

Rear Camera

The rear-view camera is mounted underneath the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) condenser unit and displayed through the 8in primary machine display on the B-Post. Rear view cameras improve operator awareness behind the machine and are mandatory for some customers. The rear-view camera is available as a factory option or can be added later as a field kit.

850 X-Tier performing site development

John Deere Dozers are designed with the operator in mind. The feedback taken from customers goes directly into the design of the machine. John Deeres hydrostatic solution makes operation simple for the operator to conquer any task, each track has its own independent hydrostatic pump and motor while the blade and ripper functions are independent. The operator can tailor both the transmission and hydraulic operating characteristics to their desired preference. We built the years of knowledge gained on hydrostatics into the 850 X-Tier as well to still give that dual path benefit with all the gained advantages of electric motors.

• Large and in charge – Hydrostatic components are sized appropriately to the machine size for precise control and durability
• Constant power to both tracks – Allows operators to carry heavy loads through turns and counter-rotate both while in gear and in neutral
• Performance when you need it – The operator can independently control hydraulic and transmission functions without sacrificing hydraulic speed
• More work, less service – Hydraulic and hydrostatic oil change intervals are 4,000 hours providing more time to work
• E-Drive Performance – The 850 X-Tier adds another dynamic model in the dozer lineup to conquer tasks with precision and performance
• Situational Awareness – Advanced Vision systems keep operators aware of their surroundings

Driven by innovative and ongoing customer input, John Deere commemorates its 75^th year as a leader in the dozer market. Upon its entry into the dozer business, John Deere has focused on meeting customer needs to improve jobsite efficiencies. Beginning production in 1949 in Dubuque, Iowa, the John Deere line-up of dozers has evolved through the years with innovation that has been solving industry-wide challenges.

Looking back at key milestones for its dozer family, John Deere debuted various industry-leading solutions and breakthrough designs that paved the way for today's reliable, powerful and tech-packed models.

1949 — John Deere began manufacturing MC Dozers in Dubuque, Iowa.

1958 — The 440 Crawler Dozer entered the market as the first all-yellow machine built specifically for industrial applications. This model stood out as John Deere's first all-hydraulic bulldozer with 6-way power-angle-tilt blade, leading the charge with its ground-breaking design.

1965 — John Deere introduced dozer T-Bar blade controls, as well as the first integral machines with the new industrial model numbers. These models included the JD350 and JD450 crawlers, which were configured distinctly as dozers or loaders.

1976 — John Deere became the first North American manufacturer to utilize dual-path hydrostatic drive on its dozer line-up.

1988 — New full powershift transmission models were introduced, including the 400G, 450G, 550G and 650G models, which offered four forward and four reverse speeds, expanding capability on the jobsite.

1999 — Dual path hydrostatic drive was introduced on the 450H, 550H, 650H models and continues to date in the full John Deere dozer lineup.

2001 — John Deere introduced its largest dozer ever with the roll-out of the 1050C. The 1050C led the way for the updates and innovations you see in the 1050 P-Tier today.

2010 — John Deere unveiled the industry's first 764 High Speed Dozer, the first new machine form in decades, boasting travel speeds of up to 16 mph (26 km/h).

2020 — John Deere introduced its Slope Control feature to assist operators in maintaining the mainfall and cross slope while grading.

2021 — The new suspended double-bogie undercarriage made its debut on the 1050K, offering a reduction of peak vibrations in the cab by up to 75%.

2023 — John Deere rolled out its innovative EZGrade feature, which aids operators in manually grading smooth finish passes by making small blade corrections automatically.

2024 — The 1050 P-Tier model was upgraded to feature the new JD14 (13.6L) engine, enabling enhanced power and operation on the job.

2024 — John Deere expands its Dozer SmartGrade offerings with the Next Generation of SmartGrade into the 450 P-Tier and 550 P-Tier and updates on the 650 P-Tier. This will provide SmartGrade offerings on the 450-950 size Dozers going forward. The Next Generation of SmartGrade is John Deere designed and supported and can soon be equipped with either Topcon or Leica.

2024 – John Deere Launches the new 700 P-Tier, 750 P-Tier, 850 P-Tier, and 850 X-Tier. The 850 X-Tier becomes the first electric hybrid dozers in the deere lineup.

In recognition of its 75^th year in the dozer market, John Deere will begin decaling its dozer line-up with a commemorative badge. This badge will be available on all Dozers built for the remainder of 2024 and 2025. To learn more about the current line-up of John Deere dozers, please visit www.JohnDeere.com/dozers or contact your local dealer.

Uptime on the jobsite isnt demanded, it’s expected. Designing equipment to be reliable and having a dealer network ready to support is key to success. A focus on L-series dozers that carried into the P-Tier machines is to design for reliability. Putting this emphasis on the machine resulted in a reduction in hose connections, wire harness bundle sizes, and ease of daily service checks.

• Efficiently routed - The redesigned mainframes of the P-Tier dozers optimize hose and harness routings for hydraulic and electrical components. This reduces harness and hose rub points to keep your machine running longer.
• Unbeatable Service access – Service doors are large for easy access to daily service points. The periodic maintenance decal is located inside the rear service door. The 850 size machines feature a tilting cab for quick access below.
• Ground level Daily Service checks – If you make it easy it has a better chance to get completed, all of the daily checks on the Construction P-Tier dozers are ground level.
