- The 5 in. machine monitor is adjustable and comes with built-in ability to view diagnostic trouble codes and other vital machine information. Similar in menu structure to other Deere loaders, operators will have no issues at all navigating where they need to go. While the machine is in reverse, the monitor doubles as the screen for the rear-view camera.
- To keep operators more comfortable throughout the day, optional air-ride suspension seat that can be adjusted based on operator preference can be added along with Ride Control that cushions the boom movement to enhance the overall ride and reduce material spillage.
