John Deere 850 Medium Dozer

The John Deere 850 crawler dozer was designed to take on the toughest construction and site development jobs, and it more than holds its own. Built to be tough, precise and reliable, it combines raw power with state-of-the-art control systems to give you the highest productivity on whatever terrain you’re working with.

The real muscle behind the 850 comes from its 9.0-liter PowerTech engine which cranks out a respectable 168 kW (225 hp). This gives you all the pushing power, fuel efficiency and low-end torque you need to tackle even the heaviest jobs whatever the ground conditions. The hydrostatic transmission is another big plus – it gives you silky smooth speed control and seamless power delivery to the tracks, allowing you to stay on top of even the most uneven terrain. The undercarriage itself is built to last, with heavy-duty components and a strong eight-roller track frame that keeps you stable and going.

With an operating weight of between 21,500 to 23,300 kg, the 850 slots neatly into the medium-dozer class – giving you the kind of powerful blade performance on large sites and for fine grading that you really need. You get a 4.27m standard blade which gives you great material control and high productivity in pretty much any soil you’re working with.

The ROPS/FOPS certified cab is a great place to be, with plenty of space to move around, controls that are easy to use and a low noise level. Optional grade control with either 2D or 3D SmartGrade systems help you get your grading spot on and cut down on rework. Overall, the John Deere 850 is a bit of a dream come true for anyone working with earthmoving equipment: powerful, precise and comfortable all at once.

Essentially the John Deere 850 is a seriously well-balanced dozer that delivers on power, precision and operator comfort – making it a very dependable machine for contractors who need a workhorse that can take on a wide range of earthmoving, site prep and grading jobs.
