John Deere has enhanced its lineup of large dozers with the introduction of the 950 P-Tier and 1050 P-Tier dozers. An evolution of the previous 950K and 1050K versions, the upgrades in this series are part of John Deere's performance tiering strategy, aiming to offer more robust and efficient machines for demanding job sites.
Key enhancements to the models include standard LEDs for better night and low-light operation, cold-weather hydraulic lines for reliable and smooth function in harsh climates, and an accessible tiltable cab for straightforward maintenance access. The new crawler dozers also feature safety improvements, such as an Operator Presence System that requires operators to be securely fastened before disengaging the parking brake. In addition, a new seat design adds comfort and reduces physical strain over long periods.
The 950 P-Tier stands out with features like its SmartGrade™ technology for precision grade control, maintaining its status as the largest Power-Angle-Tilt (PAT) dozer on the market. The 1050 P-Tier has been substantially upgraded for efficiency and functionality, including a closer blade to the frame for better visibility and precision, an upgraded JD14 engine for enhanced durability and fuel efficiency, and a redesigned cooling system for improved performance and easier maintenance.
These advancements in John Deere's P-Tier dozers underline Deere’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of construction and forestry operations, emphasizing operator safety, comfort, and machine efficiency. If more efficiency and comfort during dozer work is what you need for your next season, a local John Deere dealer can help you find what you need.
