SmartGrade™ excavator

Overview

SmartGrade™ technology is changing construction and revolutionizing the way you will run your operation. In the past, workers were prone to mistakes and required frequent grade checks to ensure the precision of their work. Now, with guidance and control to increase their speed and accuracy, operators of all skill levels can benefit from these new tools.

SmartGrade™ technology improves productivity with fewer mistakes and less downtime.

• Quickly and confidently achieve grade with fewer periodic grade checks.
• Improve accuracy and time to get to final grade for operators of all skill levels.
• Machine is equipped with elevation, eliminating the need for benchmarking or catching a laser.
• Upgrade kits allow you to adopt technology at your own pace.

No loss of investment and no need to purchase a new machine, you have precise accuracy when the time is right.

John Deere knows how over-grading, understaffing, and lack of time add up to rework. Especially given that the jobsite is never the same two days in a row. That is why our flexible grade-management tools are engineered to minimize rework or avoid it altogether while obstacle Intelligence uses cameras, radar, and machine learning to protect anyone in close proximity. Machine monitoring and connected support keep you updated with machine and fleet performance to boost productivity and keep your business humming.  

Eliminate rework  

• Maintains set blade or bucket angle for precise grading while operator controls machine position.
• Monitors elevation and slope information on any terrain. 
• Fewer passes regardless of operator experience level.

Improve jobsite safety  

• Rear camera monitors obstacles on the back side of the machine.
• Mirror-mounted cameras provide a wider field of view than conventional mirrors.
• In-cab display shows the operator potential hazards in close proximity.
  
  

Counteract labor shortages 

• Communicates with other equipment on site for greater overall productivity.
  
  

Increase efficiency 

• Remote diagnostics give real-time updates on machine service intervals and can prevent service visits to the jobsite.
• Machine telematics are shared with our monitoring center and your dealer via the cloud.
• Track key metrics, from individual machine productivity to total job progress. 
  
  

Whatever you are up against, we have the tools to help you get the job done.
