John Deere 470G: Key Features

Grade Management

Grade Guidance equips operators with elevation and position of bucket cutting-edge relative to target plane (2D) or design surface (3D). It’s perfect for precision excavation projects, including digging trenches for pipes, shaping ditches or slopes, or excavating structure foundations.

Engine

The EPA FT4/EU Stage IV engine employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst to reduce particulate matter.

Ash-service intervals for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are condition based, with machine alerts notifying the operator before service is required.

Highly efficient, hydraulically driven fan runs only as fast as needed, reducing noise, fuel consumption, and operating costs. The cooling systems keep things running cool, even in high-trash environments and high altitudes. Standard reversing feature backblows cooler cores to help keep them clean automatically or at the touch of a button.

Controls

Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip control with less movement or effort.

Push buttons in the right lever allow fingertip control of auxiliary hydraulic flow* for operating attachments.

Press the power-boost button on the right-hand control for extra digging power.

Durability

Bucket-to-arm pivot joint features a new heat-treated pin and flanged bushing made of forged steel, to double joint life in sandy digging conditions. High-strength floating-pin design extends pin-case hardening depth by 175 percent, boosting wear life and easing serviceability.

Standard control pattern-change valve and fuel shutoff are well protected yet conveniently accessible at ground level.

A John Deere exclusive, three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress.

Visibility

Wide expanse of front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, large overhead glass, standard deluxe LED lighting package, and numerous mirrors provide expansive all-around visibility.
