Features

Easy to Maintain, Straightforward to Service

Front view of the uncovered, left engine compartment of a 650 P-Tier Dozer

John Deere’s small dozers feature simplified maintenance and improved uptime, compared to previous models, thanks to optimized hose and harness routing that reduces leak points and ground-level access to vertical spin-on filters. The hydraulic oil change interval has doubled to 4,000 hours, significantly lowering maintenance costs.

Improved Visibility, Space, and Comfort

Front right view of a 650 P-Tier Dozer's interior operator station: controls, seat, wide windows

John Deere small dozers feature a 14% larger cab compared to previous models, with a heated, ventilated leather seat and improved visibility through a lowered hood and LED lighting. An 8-in. (20.3-cm) touchscreen, centralized controls, and customizable settings enhance operator comfort and performance.

Grade Control Solutions

John Deere precision construction technology enables operators to make accurate grading passes while significantly reducing re-work. The best part, our machine technology can be upgraded at any time, from entry level to advanced, now you have the flexibility to upgrade when the time is right.
