The machine incorporates a Tier 4 Final John Deere 9.0-liter engine with 280 horsepow- er. The hydrostatic powertrain is said to provide 15 percent more power to ground versus a conventional torque-converter powertrain. The 8.6-cubic yard, six- way PAT blade offers flexibility at the site. Equipped with standard electro-hydraulic controls, the dozer is grade-control ready. Like other dozers in the K-Series, it features Eco mode.

The updated unit com- bines a 44-inch impactor with a screening and recirculating system to allow operators to produce a crushed and screened final product with one machine. Changes include direct drive, enhanced material flow path, larger pre-screen, and a more open chassis. In addition, its radial return conveyor features full-length dust suppression control, allowing operators to recirculate oversize material from the screen box to the feed hopper or radial 90 degrees while running.
