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.
