Featured Content

Right, rear, and left cameras with additional LED surround lighting
Overview
Optional right, rear, and left camera system with additional light-emitting diode (LED) surround lighting work together to provide the operator enhanced 270 degree visibility around the machine. All integrated into the main monitor.
Benefits
- Work confidently with enhanced visibility even in low light conditions
- Powerful LEDs cast a pool of light surrounding 270 degrees of the sides and rear of the machine. Cameras display surroundings to the operator in the main monitor
- LED front work lights and rear camera are still standard equipment

Central lubrication at arm tip

Two-piece front pipe clamping

Internal view of central lubrication grease path
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

Electronic cooling fans
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.

Hydraulic coupler ready option
Overview
Factory installed hydraulic plumbing all the way to the end of the arm. Coupler controls integrated into a switch in the cab. Quick and efficient coupler installation. Popular in the underground segment, couplers allow excavators to efficiently switch attachments and get more productive working hours each day.
- Ease of installation – pin on the coupler, connect the hydraulics, get to work
- Compatible with multiple coupler manufacturers (see dealer for details)
