John Deere has announced the introduction of the 850 X-Tier Dozer and significant upgrades to its 700, 750, and 850 P-Tier models. These developments aim to enhance power, precision, and efficiency for operators, thereby increasing productivity while reducing downtime.
The new 850 X-Tier Dozer is built on John Deere's legacy of E-Drive innovation. It utilizes dual path electric drive technology to simplify traditional drivetrains, optimize torque delivery, and reduce machine complexity. To boost customer confidence, John Deere offers an Electric Drive Component Assurance for this model, providing coverage for up to 84 months or 15,000 hours on key components for qualified machines purchased between March 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026.
The dozer also features improvements in operator comfort and visibility with a cab that includes a larger glass area by 14%, ergonomic controls, and an Advanced Vision System. Additionally, it is designed for minimal downtime with a tilting cab that allows quick access to E-Drive components for easy diagnostics and maintenance.
"The 850 X-Tier Dozer is a powerhouse machine designed to be fuel efficient and productive in challenging jobsites," said Matt Costello, product marketing manager at John Deere. "From enhanced operator comfort to advanced SmartGrade technology, this machine helps the operator move dirt fast with precision."
Upgrades to the P-Tier models include next-generation technology aimed at maximizing job site productivity. The SmartGrade capabilities now feature EZGrade along with SmartGrade ready options like 2D grade control and full 3D SmartGrade capabilities. This platform supports plug-and-play functionality for laser and total station control systems.
Operator-focused enhancements across both P-Tier and X-Tier models include heated and ventilated seat options, expanded storage space, improved climate control systems, as well as auto-load and carry functions that adjust blade settings based on ground conditions.
"With advanced SmartGrade capabilities and enhanced operator features, our latest P-Tier dozers are engineered for greater efficiency and control," added Costello. "These updates deliver the reliability and performance operators need to tackle even the most challenging projects."
The new dozers are positioned as solutions suitable for site preparation, grading tasks, and heavy-duty earthmoving applications. For more information about these products or other offerings from John Deere, interested parties can visit their website or contact local dealers.
