The 300G LC excavator from John Deere has a 223 hp certified Tier 4 Final John Deere PowerTech PVS 6.8L engine. Diesel particulate filter cleaning occurs automatically with no impact to machine operation. The unit can go up to 15,000 hours before ash removal. It was designed with a larger hood for improved engine access. For convenience, the nine-pin diagnostic connector was moved into the cab to reduce diagnostic testing time for technicians. Other improvements include a single-side ground-level fluid filter service, which moves the engine oil, fuel and hydraulic pilot oil filters to ground level on the right side of the machine and adds a service door for easy access to change filters. 800/503-3373; www.johndeere.com.
