Bigger, stronger, faster, and quieter. The
new 240D LC and 270D LC are armed and
ready to take on your world. Both deliver
the power, smoothness, ease of operation,
and comfort you’d expect from John Deere
excavators — and then some. Each
features a rugged, fuel-effi cient Tier 3
PowerTech Plus
cooling system; and extended service
intervals for industry-leading uptime and
serviceability. And with other refi nements
such as faster hydraulics, better visibility,
and a roomier, more comfortable cab,
Deere once again sets the standard.

240D LC and 270D LC deliver more digging force, swing torque, and lift
capability, with less emissions and noise.
Extended engine and hydraulic oil service intervals increase uptime and
reduce daily operating costs.

Redesigned cab is more spacious and has 47-percent more glass for
best-in-class comfort and visibility.
Powerwise™ III engine /hydraulic management system maximizes power
output, saves fuel, and delivers smooth multifunction hydraulic operation.
Hydraulically driven, highly effi cient fan runs only as needed, reducing
noise, fuel consumption, and operating costs.
Tier 3 emission-certifi ed PowerTech Plus diesels deliver power without
compromise in all conditions.
Electronically controlled variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT ) improves torque response, helping
match engine speed to load requirements.
Noise levels — and operator fatigue — have been
signifi cantly reduced. Variable-speed fan, dual-pass
muffl er, pilot-injected PowerTech Plus engine, and
isochronous high-idle speed help quiet things down.
Cooled exhaust gas recirculation ( EGR), four-valveper-cylinder head, and high-pressure commonrail fuel system enable the 6.8-L diesels to meet
Tier 3 emission standards without sacrifi cing
power or fuel effi ciency.
Additional hydraulic capability a necessity? Two
factory-installed high-pressure, high-fl ow auxiliary
hydraulic packages enable you to meet the need.
Choose from a variety of track widths, arm lengths,
buckets, and other options.
1. Powerwise III perfectly balances engine
performance and hydraulic fl ow for fast,
smooth, and predictable operation. One
work mode makes it easy to be productive
in any application.

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

D-Series Excavators speak softly and carry
a big stick. Combining strong digging forces
with outstanding lift capacity and reach,
the 240D LC and 270D LC are more than up
to any task. Faster hydraulics boost productivity, while increased drawbar pull and arm
force provide an additional lift to production.
The Powerwise III engine/hydraulic management system provides pinpoint metering and
low-effort control, while numerous noisereduction enhancements further reduce
operator fatigue. Add any of the many
available options, and put even more work
within reach.

Yours aren’t just any employees. Why equip them
with just another excavator? To help make the
most of their skills, put your operators behind the
controls of a John Deere D-Series. Its spacious,
well-appointed interior boasts more of everything.
Forty-seven-percent more glass for virtually unrestricted visibility. Substantially more legroom.
And a bevy of creature comforts, including automatic climate control, AM/FM radio, generous
storage space, and available air-suspension
heated seat. But it’s not just the extras that
will make your operators more productive. They’ll
also benefi t from the things the D-Series deliver
less of — such as noise, fatigue, and emissions.
