The unit will increase productivity by helping to automatically complete grading tasks faster with fewer passes and less rework compared to working without grade control technology.

As a complete package, the 333G SmartGrade compact track loader is a top-tier, spec-heavy model, and it can easily cost over $100K, so what kinds of customers will gravitate toward the 333G SmartGrade? Gotta watch the video above.īy leveraging the latest grade control technology, the 333G SmartGrade machine levels the playing field with contactors running larger fleets. Both 2D and 3D grade control automation will be available to help work the blade. DozerMode is beneficial when operating the John Deere-designed and -built, six-way SG96 Dozer Blade that can both cut a grade and spread materials, streamlining attachment needs and setup time. Operators will have access to DozerMode, a breakthrough control solution that enables the EH joystick control system to function like a crawler dozer with the push of a button. It can be optioned out with fully-integrated grade control technology, anti-vibration undercarriage, sweet six-way dozer blade and the ability to spearhead precision dirt work quickly. This unique unit is engineered as a dirt works machine, specializing in grade and earthmoving apps. The perfect example of this is John Deere’s 333G SmartGrade compact track loader, which we’ve been hyping for a couple of years now but finally hit dealer lots this summer. Smart Grade ControlĪs compact track loaders continue to grow in popularity, manufacturers continue to enhance their sophistication and application focus. It’s the machine we’ll discuss in the Machine Heads video above, and here to help is Gregg Zupancic, product manager with compact equipment at John Deere. A great example of this is John Deere’s 333G SmartGrade compact track loader - a machine specifically designed to use grade control automation. Now, forward-looking manufacturers are designing more market specific machines, upfitted with features and technologies for focused applications, as opposed to traditional do-it-all utility units. Part of that rising popularity has come from track loaders finding new work in niche applications from brush cutting to grade control. Over the last decade, track loaders have dramatically overtaken skid steers as the most popular piece of attachment-taking compact equipment. Today we’ll be discussing the evolution of the compact track loader market. I’m once again Keith Gribbins, publisher and resident guinea pig at Compact Equipment. Welcome back to another edition of Machine Heads.
