Available now on small dozer models, John Deere's next generation of SmartGrade offering is designed to improve flexibility, ease of use, and performance. Expanding offerings for customers, the next generation
of SmartGrade is now available in both Leica and Topcon solutions.

Improved and Expanded Capabilities to Increase User Confidence and Productivity

The next generation of SmartGrade helps customers easily complete grading tasks and supports new operators to hit target grade more quickly and efficiently. Customers can get to work sooner, as no daily setup or calibration is needed at the start-up of the machine. 

When issues arise, customers and dealers can troubleshoot their machine with Wireless Data Transfer and Remote Display Access integration through the John Deere Operations Center. The split screen capabilities on the new G5 10” touchscreen display allows the operator to see jobsite plans and the selected grade management option simultaneously. In addition, machine calibrations can be done through the monitor in the cab.

Growing with Jobsite Needs

The 450, 550 and 650 P-Tier dozer models come equipped with upgradable technology solutions that allow machine capabilities. Therefore, customers can select the solution that best suits their needs, including the adoption of EZ Grade with electro-hydraulic (EH) controls, Slope Control, SmartGrade-Ready with 2D grade control or 3D SmartGrade with Topcon or Leica. These options can also be upgraded to a more enhanced grade management solution.

The new SmartGrade-Ready with 2D grade control option comes pre-wired for SmartGrade with Leica and Topcon, enabling seamless upgradeability. This option brings in the new John Deere G5 display that has Slope Control and easy plug and play laser capabilities.

The next generation of SmartGrade is now available as a factory option or through field kit solutions on all 450, 550, and 650 P-Tier dozers already in the market.
