Grade guidance technology available for John Deere 470G LC Excavator

The John Deere 470G LC Excavators are now equipped with grade guidance technology, developed in cooperation with Topcon Positioning Group. Equipped with a display in the operator station, the grade guidance system provides operators with the elevation and position of the bucket cutting edge with respect to a target plane (2D) or design surface (3D). Support through the JDLink telematics system provides information on system utilization and allows for diagnosis of problems.
