Overview

Electrohydraulic (EH) controls offer increased functionality to allow operators to customize machine operations based on preference. The EH controls also require less operator effort and are not as fatiguing over longer periods of operation compared to manual linkages. With fewer physical components and maintenance requirements, EH control machines provide operators with increased productivity across a variety of job applications.

Benefits

EH tracking is adjusted electronically from the monitor and can be tuned while machine is in operation
Joysticks provide low effort fingertip operations and can be modified for each control style or application
Anti-stall engine software prevents operator from unintentionally stalling the engine under heavy loads
True Auto-Idle automatically idles engine when static for 5 seconds to save on fuel and component wear
EH machines offer differential steering, an exclusive John Deere feature that speeds up the outside turning of tires/tracks for faster jobsite maneuvering
EH control transition unlocks design improvements to reduce cab noise, significantly lower vibration, and offer better cab sealing, pressurization, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) performance
