John Deere now offers an anti-vibration undercarriage system for its 333 compact track loader that is designed to reduce machine vibration and combat operator fatigue.
“At John Deere, we are committed to enhancing our operators’ experience and creating a more productive and dynamic job site,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, in a prepared statement. “By improving the operator experience, we’re helping to maximize overall productivity and profitability on the job site.”
The undercarriage option features an isolated undercarriage, bogie rollers, updated grease points, hydrostatic hose protection shield, and rubber isolators. By utilizing an anti-vibration suspension at the front and rear of the track frame and absorbing shock through the rubber isolators, the machine provides a smoother ride for the operator. These features also enable the machine to travel at higher speeds while retaining material and permit the machine to flex up and down, creating a more comfortable operator experience, ultimately helping reduce operator fatigue, according to Deere.
The bogie roller system allows for oscillating movement of the rollers, promoting smoother transitions when cresting a hill, improved stability on uneven grounds, and enabling larger debris to pass between the roller and track system. This updated design also features a new oscillating bogie arm, further enhancing operator efficiency. This design includes only four new grease points, which are easy to access.
An angled steel shield protects the hydrostatic hoses from exposure to debris, which reduces potential damage to the hoses.
