John Deere has made industry history by incorporating its proprietary SmartGrade technology into the 333G Compact Track Loader, marking the first fully integrated grade control system available on compact machinery. This innovation significantly expands the capabilities of contractors in site development, landscaping, and building sectors by bringing professional-grade precision to smaller equipment.
Productivity Boost Through Automation
The SmartGrade-equipped 333G enables operators to complete grading tasks faster and more accurately, reducing both the number of required passes and costly rework. This advancement allows contractors to take on larger, more complex projects that traditionally required specialized grading equipment, while maintaining the compact loader’s advantages of maneuverability and transportability.
Introducing Revolutionary DozerMode
Complementing the SmartGrade integration, John Deere has launched its innovative DozerMode feature. This technology transforms the loader’s EH joystick controls to function like a crawler dozer at the push of a button, particularly when paired with the company’s purpose-built six-way dozer blade attachment designed for optimal compact loader performance.
Streamlined Operation in Tight Spaces
The specialized dozer blade eliminates tool-free attachment changes and works seamlessly with SmartGrade to minimize operator input. This combination excels in confined areas where traditional grading equipment can’t operate, allowing precise material cutting and finishing while maintaining the machine’s versatility for other tasks.
Competitive Advantage for Contractors
“In today’s competitive market, we’re committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions,” said John Deere’s Gregg Zupancic. The SmartGrade 333G represents a significant leap forward, offering contractors space-efficient, labor-saving technology that reduces project costs while expanding their service capabilities beyond traditional compact equipment limitations.
