I love the improvements to this dozer! The OEMs that will win the day moving forward are those that focus on two key areas: 1.) Operator satisfaction, and 2.) Lower total cost of ownership. John Deere clearly understands this. On point 1: It's hard to find good operators, so owners need to make sure they keep their operators happy. Operators are happy when their jobs are easier, and they are productive. Visibility, ease of cleaning, ease of PM, climate control, SmartGrade...all matter. On point 2: Inflation is REAL! Owners of equipment are stretching their dollars. When shopping for new machines, the buyer will want to know not just the cost of month-to-month, but total cost of ownership. Deere for the win!
