John Deere 1050 P-Tier dozer with 168 inch SU blade

The updated John Deere 1050 P-Tier dozer has a standard  1727 mm (168 in.) semi-u blade to increase capacity and move more material pass after pass. Along with a wider blade, the 1050 P is now configured with a redesigned blade linkage which moves the blade rearward and reduces the overall length of the machine by 432 mm (17 in.), improving balance and grading performance.

Several changes have been made to enhance visibility to the blade corners on the 1050 P. The inverted tilt/pitch cylinder(s) give a wider view to the end bits and prevent material from building up on the cylinder’s seal. The back of the blade and side of the push beams have been fabricated to ensure operators have optimum visibility directly behind the cutting edge.

With the new 356 horsepwer JD14 (13.6 L) engine and 43273 kg (95,400 lb). of operating weight, operators will put power to the ground through class leading 2616 mm (103 in.) of track on ground.

• Scalloped blade corners and push beams along with inverted tilt/pitch cylinders allow direct visibility behind the cutting edge
• Class leading horsepower, track on ground, and operating weight, and blade width unlock new levels of productivity
• The JD14 engine provides reliable horsepower with less fuel consumption and maintenance
  • The single canister aftertreatment system meets emission regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
  • Hydraulic lifters eliminate valve lash adjustments throughout the life of the engine

John Deere 1050 dozer with waste handler package

John Deere dozers offer a specialized waste handling package with purpose built guarding and features specifically for the waste industry. With airborne debris and various materials to handle, landfill operations pose many unique challenges. John Deere waste handler dozers reduce downtime potential, increase durability, and are built to keep material flowing in these harsh environments.

All John Deere waste handler dozers use debris management sealing to keep debris from entering the machine and a semi-u blade with integrated trash rack. The high debris perforated side shields are extruded to maximize surface area and prevent plugging along with a fan that automatically reverses to blow away debris and keep the machine running cool.

A high debris engine air precleaner is also used to maximize air flow. Additional protection is built into the engine compartment with exhaust components enclosed in heat wrap to reduce fire risks along with an alternator screen. Additional guarding is built around the final drives protecting the seals from damage as well as fender guarding that reduces risk of damage from debris following the tracks. The final drive sprockets are built with recesses to allow debris a path to escape, this deters packing and excess track tension.

Additional options are available to tackle the trash, such striker bars, a rear storage compartment, cab screens, and open center track shoes.

John Deere 1050 P-Tier Dozer

Transmission control lever (450 P – 1050 P dozers)

John Deere production dozers have the weight and power to take on your most demanding environments and thanks to John Deere’s field proven dual path hydrostatic transmission, your machine keeps power to both tracks 100 percent of the time and gives you and your operators effortless control.

Tackling tasks is simple with infinite speed control. No need to shift or manage multiple pedals. Controls are common from our small dozers to our largest, operators can be confident and comfortable from dusk to dawn and beyond.

John Deere’s load sensing power management system with dynamic braking and hill hold provide smooth operation in any situation. The machine automatically adjusts ground speed based on load which allows you to concentrate on blade control. When pushing down steep slopes the machine will maintain constant travel speed to prevent the machine from running away and if the FNR switch is moved to neutral, the machine will come to a stop.

Every operator has their own preference when it comes to “feel” of the hydraulic and transmission systems. John Deere dozers offer tunable settings that adjust response rates and speed giving you the ability to fine-tune the machine to your operator’s preference and experience.
