Looking to boost jobsite productivity and reduce costly rework?
SmartGrade™ is John Deere’s fully integrated grade control system, engineered to automate grading and earthmoving tasks with exceptional precision. Unlike bolt-on aftermarket solutions, SmartGrade is built directly into the machine’s hydraulics and control systems—streamlining operation, boosting accuracy, and eliminating the need for external masts or cables.
Available across a range of John Deere equipment—including motor graders, excavators, crawler dozers, compact track loaders, and skid steers—SmartGrade offers scalable options. Start with 2D or 3D Grade Guidance and upgrade to fully integrated SmartGrade™ as your needs grow. It’s a flexible, factory-installed technology that helps you get the most out of every machine in your fleet.
Key Benefits of SmartGrade™
Factory-Integrated
SmartGrade machines come ready to work—no extra wiring, sensors, or components to install. The system is built into the machine from day one.
Increased Accuracy
Achieve grade within a tolerance of a few millimeters. SmartGrade uses real-time positioning, elevation, and slope data to ensure exact cuts and fills.
Faster Completion Times
With fewer passes needed, you’ll finish jobs more quickly—saving time, fuel, and labor costs.
Enhanced Operator Efficiency
Less reliance on stakes or grade checkers allows operators of all experience levels to work confidently and independently.
Fewer Errors, Less Rework
Precision controls mean less rework, reduced material overuse, and fewer mistakes, especially on complex projects.
No Masts or Cables
Unlike bolt-on systems, SmartGrade eliminates the need for removable masts or external cables, reducing downtime and risk of damage or theft.
