Power management, smooth steering for tracked loaders
John Deere’s 65C-II and 755C-II crawler loaders were designed with contractor recommendations in mind, with features that include an optimized power management system, steering that’s responsive and smooth, a range of low speeds, and numerous design features to ensure the operator is comfortable and all the tools needed are close at hand. These additions to the machines have added to the high breakout forces and tipping load capacities that have made Deere’s crawler loaders standouts in the past.
The C Series II loaders are built around hydrostatic drivetrains that have provided owners with operating ease and flexibility. The optimized power management system ensures that operators have power when it’s needed as well as better matching the engine and transmission for excellent performance. Operators can set the desired maximum ground speed, and the crawler adjusts power to maintain efficient engine performance. The control system helps to keep the loaders pointed in the right direction and track straight, even when on steep slopes, and provides smooth, predictable turns even when working with a full load. Variable ground speeds and that full power turn capability give operators confidence in the machine. The low speed working range runs up to four miles per hour to ensure that performance needs can be met for fast cycle times.
Wet-sleeve engines in both models are equipped with gear-driven water pumps for minimized maintenance. The 655C-II is powered by a 130-hp four-cylinder diesel engine, while the 755C-II boasts a six-cylinder 177-hp powerplant. Maintenance is reduced by addition of such features as lifetime-lubricated bucket pins, easy to access service ports, daily checks grouped on the same side, and others.
