The system for 1150M, 1650M and 2050M dozers includes an inertial measurement unit, wiring harness and in-cab display. Operators can set a desired slope/grade reference, and the system will automatically adjust and hold the blade posi- tion without the need for lasers, masts or GPS. The system can be used on existing 2D and 3D machine control systems and is compatible with 2D and 3D Leica displays. More capacity, better view John Deere has created new buckets for its 744K-II, 824K- II and 844K-III wheel loaders that have additional capacity and provide better visibility for operators. The buckets fea- ture curved profi le side cutters that allow for more mate- rial to be loaded and provide better retention of material. Narrow spill guards allow operators to see when the bucket is full. Bushed static pin joints make repairs easier.
