Electronically controlled variable-geometry turbo-
charger (VGT) improves torque response, helping
match engine speed to load requirements.
Noise levels — and operator fatigue — have been
significantly reduced. Variable-speed fan, dual-pass
muffler, pilot-injected PowerTech Plusengine, and
isochronous high-idle speed help quiet things down.
Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), four-valve-
per-cylinder head, and high-pressure common-
rail fuel system enable the 6.8-L diesels to meet
Tier 3 emission standards without sacrificing
power or fuel efficiency.
Additional hydraulic capability a necessity? Two
factory-installed high-pressure, high-flow auxiliary
hydraulic packages enable you to meet the need.
Choose from a variety of track widths, arm lengths,
buckets, and other options.
1. PowerwiseIII perfectly balances engine
performance and hydraulic flow for fast,
smooth, and predictable operation. One
work mode makes it easy to be productive
in any application.

2. Significant increases in horsepower,
weight, dig force, and drawbar pull make
the D-Series highly productive machines
for a wide variety of work.
3. Increased flow, arm force, and swing
torque help speed cycles, enabling you to
load more trucks or open more trench.
4. For work that requires extra finesse, the
D-Series’ best-in-class metering and
smooth multifunction operation give you
the precise control you need.

Graphite-iron wet-sleeve cylinder liners, mono-
steel pistons, and large-diameter connecting rods
ensure long-term engine durability.
Welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional
stress. Reinforced D-channel side frames provide
maximum cab and component protection.
Tungsten-carbide coating creates an extremely
wear-resistant surface to protect the all-important
bucket-to-arm joint.
An optional reversing fan back-blows cooler cores
to reduce debris buildup. It’s a welcome addition
that will increase uptime.
Oil-impregnated bushings enhance durability and
extend grease intervals to 500 hours for the arm-
and-boom joint and 100 hours for the bucket joint.
Booms, arms, and mainframes are so tough,
they’re warranted for three years or 10,000 hours.
1. Hydraulically driven cool-on-demand
fan runs only as needed, reducing fuel

2. Perforations in the hood and side shields
serve as a “first filter,” helping prevent

Buckets
A full line of buckets is offered to meet a wide variety of applications. Digging forces are with power boost. Tooth selection includes either the John Deere Fanggs®, Standard,
Tiger, Twin Tiger, Abrasion panel, or Flare tooth, or the ESCO (Vertalok) Standard, Tiger, Twin Tiger, or Flare tooth. Replaceable cutting edges are available through John Deere
parts. Optional side cutters add 6 inches (150 mm) to bucket widths.

Contact your John Deere dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include optional
equipment such as thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and volume loading
applications such as mass excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven
surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.

Contact your John Deere dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include optional
equipment such as thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and volume loading
applications such as mass excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven
surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.

CONTROL OWNING AND OPERATING COSTS
Customer Personal Service (CPS) is part of John Deere’s proactive, fix-before-fail strategy on
machine maintenance that will help control costs, increase profits, and reduce stress. Included
in this comprehensive lineup of ongoing programs and services are:
maintenance work gets done right and on schedule. On-site preventive maintenance service
performed where and when you need it helps protect you from the expense of catastrophic
failures and lets you avoid waste-disposal hassles.
Fluid analysis program – tells you what’s going on inside all of your machine’s major
components so you’ll know if there’s a problem before you see a decline in performance. Fluid
analysis is included in most extended coverage and preventive-maintenance agreements.
Component life-cycle data – gives you vital information on the projected life span of
components and lets you make informed decisions on machine maintenance by telling you
approximately how many hours of use you can expect from an engine, transmission, or
hydraulic pump. This information can be used to preempt catastrophic downtime by servicing
major components at about 80 percent of their life cycle.
Extended coverage – gives you a fixed cost for machine repairs for a given period of
time so you can effectively manage costs. Whether you work in a severe-service setting or
just want to spread the risk of doing business, this is a great way to custom-fit coverage for
your operation. And an extended coverage contract also travels well because it’s backed by
John Deere and is honored by all Deere construction dealers.
Customer Support Advisors (CSAs) – Deere believes the CSA program lends a personal
quality to Customer Personal Service (CPS). Certified CSAs have the knowledge and skills for
helping make important decisions on machine maintenance and repair. Their mission is to
help you implement a plan that’s right for your business and take the burden of machine
maintenance off your shoulders.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) agreements – give you a fixed cost for maintaining a
machine for a given period of time. They also help you avoid downtime by ensuring that critical
Net engine power is with standard equipment including air cleaner,
exhaust system, alternator, and cooling fan at test conditions
specified per ISO9249. No derating is required up to 10,000-ft.
(3050 m) altitude.
Specifications and design subject to change without notice. Wherever applicable, specifications are in accordance with SAE standards.
Except where otherwise noted, these specifications are based on a unit with 42-in. (1065 mm) bucket, 32-in. (800 mm) triple semi-
grouser shoes, full fuel tank, and 175-lb. (79 kg) operator; a 240D LC unit with 11,904-lb. (5400 kg) counterweight; and a 270D LC
unit with 13,447-lb. (6100 kg) counterweight.
