John Deere 550K, 650K, 700K Crawler Dozers

March 10, 2015

Models 550K, 650K, and 700K have been added to the John Deere K Series crawler dozers and updated with Tier 4-Final engines: A 92-horsepower PowerTech 4.5L in the 550K, 104-horsepower PowerTech 4.5L in the John Deere 650K dozer, and a 130-horsepower PowerTech 6.8L in the 700K. DPF cleaning occurs automatically, and the machine requires DEF. EcoMode optimizes fuel economy and can save up to 20 percent in fuel, according to Deere. A push button throttle replaces the rotary dial to control rpm. Hydrostatic transmissions have updated electronic control systems, and motors were upgraded from a two-speed design to variable displacement. A blade shake feature causes the blade to shake in a “quick, repeated motion” to clear material from the blade.
