Next-cavator.

Take your operation to the next level with the John Deere 470G LC excavator. This efficient machine has optimized hydraulics that yield more muscle so you can move more material per gallon of fuel. Plus, this purpose-built excavator is equipped with integrated SmartGrade™ technology so you can set flexible grade management levels while avoiding stakes, strings, over-digging, and rework.

Features may include:

Powerful FT4 Engine Technology

• The fully integrated Interim Tier 4(IT4)/Stage IIIB solution delvers the best combination of performance, efficiency, and reliability without sacrificing power or torque, while meeting stringent FT4/Stage IV standards.

Cooling System and Reversing Fan

• Hydraulically driven, high-efficiency cooling fans run as needed, reducing noise, fuel consumption, and operating costs. And, the standard operator-selectable reversing fan back-blows cooler cores, reducing debris buildup and increasing uptime.

Optional Hydraulic Single-Pedal Propel System

• This efficient system simplifies straight-line machine tracking without the need to engage both foot pedals or both hand levers, enabling operators to move the machine with ease.

Grade Guidance

• Whether you’re digging trenches for pipe, shaping ditches or slopes, or digging structural foundations, Grade Guidance helps you complete precision-excavation applications more efficiently. It allows operators to manage grade levels in real-time AND it’s calibrated and installed at the factory so it’s ready to work at the jobsite.

SmartGrade™

• Fully integrated SmartGrade™ delivers 3D control of the boom and bucket plus over-dig protection and in-cab real-time distance-to-target measurements, increasing jobsite efficiency.

Refined Multi-Language LCD Monitor

• Employs a rotary control that allows you to utilize various performance and convenience functions with ease.

Bucket-To-Arm Pivot Joint

• A new heat-treated pin and flanged bushing made of forged steel doubles joint life in sandy conditions, delivering maximum wear life.
