Overview

P-Tier updates build on the proven G-series design. Take front joint durability to new levels compared to G-series.

  • Grease point at arm tip for easy greasing and extended uptime
  • Better torque retention at the clamp reduces the likelihood of front hydraulic pipes moving
  • Redesigned boom foot bushings improve durability

Up to 7% improved fuel economy

Overview

At John Deere, we understand that jobsite conditions are tough and operating costs can drain your business. With new features now included on our 210, 250, and 300 P excavators, your fuel economy can improve by up to 7%. This not only helps your operation run more smoothly but can also help you save both time and money.

These new features have improved fuel economy:

  • Reduce engine load with electric on-demand cooling fans.
  • Individually serviceable fans with four bolts and one connector to remove and replace.
  • In-line aftertreatment for reduced restriction and system complexity.
  • Increased front piping diameter reduces hydraulic restriction, positively impacting fuel consumption.

With improved fuel economy, you can experience less downtime and lower daily operating costs.

Work confidently via optional cameras and lighting
