This machine is equipped with an EPA FT4/EU Stage IV engine that employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst to reduce particulate matter. Ash-service intervals for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are condition based, with machine alerts notifying the operator before service is required. So you can be sure that this excavator will perform consistently, even in the most challenging conditions. The John Deere 470G large excavator is hydraulically driven and features a fan that runs only as fast as needed, reducing noise, fuel consumption, and operating costs. The cooling systems on this excavator keep things running cool, even in high-trash environments and high altitudes. The standard reversing feature backblows cooler cores to help keep them clean automatically or at the touch of a button.
