Enabled through the JDLink telematics connection, John Deere's new
Connected Support leverages a suite of dealer and factory tools to deliver
increased productivity, uptime and lower daily operating costs.
A key tool of the system is Service ADVISOR Remote, which allows the
dealer to analyze machine conditions in real time, or set a trigger point to
record intermittent conditions, providing a deep look into the machine's
health. Additionally, the remote diagnostic capabilities can reduce
troubleshooting time and eliminate a trip to the machine.
Another feature is Expert Alerts, created by John Deere machine health

New backhoe attachments. John Deere also unveiled three new
backhoe attachments. The BH9B, BH10B and BH11B were designed for
operators handling light construction or utility work. Similar to other John
Deere attachments, they are ideal for use on John Deere G-Series skid steers
and compact track loaders.
The new backhoe attachments' swing speed control and 180-degree
capabilities help maximize efficiency and improve machine stability. Workspace
visibility is optimized with the attachments' sleek, low-profile design. Cushioned
cylinders allow for smooth operations and limit shock loads during use.
A two-lever control of boom or swing (left lever) and dipperstick or bucket
(right lever) allow for precise control and movement. Each new model includes
a 9-12-gallons-per-minute hydraulic flow range for smooth operation.
The BH model bucket widths range from 18 to 36 inches, and new and
improved heavy-duty buckets feature an easy-cleanout design for the
toughest jobs. *

Operator ID system-records KOMTRAX
machine operation and application data
for up to 100 individual ID codes.
Auto Idle and Auto Idle Shutdown helps
reduce fuel consumption by limiting
extended idle time.
KOMTRAX Plus Version 2 enables
expanded fleet monitoring via satellite and
wireless LAN. Users can analyze "machine

health" and performance from a remote
location, on a near-real-time basis.
* Tie off anchor points are integrated into
the booms and arms for use with service
technician restraint harnesses.
* New, optional, hydraulically powered
ladder provides easier access to machine
cab and left-side walkway. This option will
also be available as a field installation kit.
The new excavators are also designed for
easy maintenance via access to filters (air, oil,
fuel, KCCV), hydraulic oil cooler core, reversible
hydraulic fan and rear-facing maintenance
