July 2017 | EquipmentWorld.com 24 machine matters | by Richard Ries NIMBLE, POWERFUL DOZER The Changes keep coming to mid-size and larger dozers, making them more versatile and productive. Because SmartGrade is integrated into the John Deere 750K and 850K dozers and con- trolled by IMUs (inertial measurement units), there are no masts, cables, blade-mounted sensors or other hardware associated with add-on systems. This reduces the risk of damage, theft and vandalism. SmartGrade is nearly 7 percent more accurate than conventional masted systems, Deere says.
