TO AN EASIER WORKFLOW
Whether in the hustle and bustle of NYC or
the sun-soaked hills of San Diego, the K-Series
Backhoes’ Autoshift feature makes for efortless
efciency on any jobsite.
No jobsite is created equal. However, one thing that
should remain constant regardless of location is
equipment that makes your job easier.
Say hello to the John Deere K-Series Backhoes. The
machines’ smooth-shifting fve-speed transmission with
Autoshift option makes the long haul a joyride. And to fnd
out how customers are beneftting from Autoshift in the
feld, we caught up with Max Lituchy of Steven Dubner
Landscaping in New York City and Sonny Hale of Sonny
Hale Backhoe Service in San Diego, California. Regardless
of the coast, productivity was up.

“On these larger jobsites, I know the guys
appreciate not having to worry about shifting
at the right time, putting strain on the trans-
mission, or revving the engine up too much.”

EMPIRE STATE OF MIND Trained as a landscape architect, Lituchy got his start at Steven
Dubner Landscaping as a summer gig, and it wasn’t much later
that his tireless work ethic landed him the titles of Partner and
Project Manager. Responsible for everything from consulting on
the design of a proposed landscape to lining up the workforce
and purchasing new equipment, Lituchy is the type that’s always
on — on time, on budget, and certainly on top of his projects.
“I test out all the new equipment before it comes in. We have a
rigorous demo process, and this backhoe is great. You can see the
diference in the operators’ work — they take more pride when
they’re in nice machines, and it shows in their performance.”
MANICURING THE METWhile Dubner Landscaping’s 310SK Backhoe doesn’t get much
use on the company’s rooftop jobs, it’s the perfect ft for today’s
project in Central Park, resodding the lawn surrounding the Met-
ropolitan Museum of Art. Along with the machine’s extendable
dipperstick, low-ground-pressure, and quick-coupling features,
it’s Autoshift that stands as its ultimate stroke of genius.
“The Central Park Conservancy has its own compost material
we’re using,” says Lituchy, “but it’s located in the north part of
the park, so we have to do some traveling back and forth. On
these larger jobsites, I know the guys appreciate not having
to worry about shifting at the right time, putting strain on the
transmission, or revving the engine up too much.” And when
you’re traveling 27 blocks down 5th Avenue with unpredictable
stop-and-go trafc, that smooth shifting and extra getup go a
long way. “Plus I don’t have to worry about trailering the machine
— that saves plenty of time and money.”
UPGRADE WITH
A DOWNLOAD
Already have a K-Series Backhoe,
but not the convenience of Autoshift?
Luckily, this efciency-enhancing
option is available as a software
payload from your dealer.
1 Contact your dealer and tell
them you’re interested in the
Autoshift feature.
2 Your dealer can send the upgrade
directly to your machine through
your JDLink™ subscription utilizing
the remote programming capability
of John Deere WorkSight.™ Your
dealer can also perform the upgrade
on the jobsite if necessary.
3 Enjoy the ease of operation that
makes you even more efcient
and proftable.
It’s as simple as that. If you’re
interested in making the transition
to Autoshift, ask your dealer about
Upgrade AT417183.
Bali Motital, one of Steven Dubner
Landscaping’s backhoe operators, enjoys
more than just the K-Series’ Autoshift
feature: “This machine is comfortable
and strong. Its quick-coupler, extendable
dipperstick, and scrap grapple all help
me be more productive. I like John Deere
because the machines are fast, powerful,
and comfortable.”

WORKING HARD ON THE WEST COASTOperating backhoes since the early ’70s, Sonny Hale of Sonny Hale Backhoe Service
has seen his fair share of machines, and one thing has remained consistent — his
satisfaction with John Deere. And though the West Coast may be known for its laid-
back attitude and relaxed way of life, Hale chooses Deere machines because they’re
the only ones that can match his
work ethic. Raised in the Midwest,
he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty.
From moving dirt to demolition,
Hale can handle it all once he’s
climbed into the cab.
RUNNING THE LINE“Every day’s diferent, but today
we’re digging lines for the electri-
cians to lay telephone wires,” says
Hale. “The 410K is useful on any site
because it has the power needed for
this hard ground, and the Autoshift
is especially convenient if I’m ever
running some length. It helps me
be more productive because I don’t
have to worry about fipping knobs. I can go into the pile and the backhoe will adjust
to use a lower gear, I can take of to drop the load, and then cruise right back without
having to touch anything. It’s like an automatic car transmission, I can keep my hands
on the wheel — it’s just a lot easier and more user friendly.”
Anything John Deere can do to make your job easier is considered a win in our books,
and that victory is especially sweet when it’s one that helps you grow your business.
“Productivity is the key to my business. The more productive the machine is, the faster
I can get the job done — that makes my contractor money and it gets me callbacks.
And the K-Series is full of features that make me more efcient. Extendable dipper-
stick, quick-coupler, and Autoshift are all features that, now that I’ve had them, I can
never go back. As long as it’s available, every machine I buy will have Autoshift.”
GOING THE DISTANCE WITH DEEREJohn Deere is dedicated to building lasting relationships with you through machine
features that give you the edge on your competition and a dealer network that is
committed to keeping you proftable. “I’d absolutely recommend Deere,” says
Lituchy. “We’ve run other brands, but the guys like the Deere machines.”
And Hale seems to agree. “My relationship with Deere and my dealer, RDO, goes
back to the early ’70s. They stand behind me should something go wrong, and actually
bend over backwards for us little guys because they understand I need to be running
to make money. I’d recommend Deere to everybody.”

“THE 410K IS USEFUL ON ANY SITE
BECAUSE IT HAS THE POWER
NEEDED FOR THIS HARD GROUND,
AND THE AUTOSHIFT IS ESPECIALLY
CONVENIENT IF I’M EVER RUNNING
SOME LENGTH. IT HELPS ME BE
MORE PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE I
DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
FLIPPING KNOBS.”

Getting your work done
faster is within reach on
any jobsite with the K-Series’
extendable dipperstick. Its
extra reach means you can
spend less time repositioning
the machine and more time
piling up proft. And along
with the Autoshift feature
and ride control, speed really
is the name of the game.
Veteran backhoe operator
and committed Customer
Advocate Group member
Sonny Hale appreciates the
ease it affords his workday,
“I can just put it in drive. It’ll
pick the gear according to
the rpm as I go into a pile,
and then with ride control
I can take off and go even
quicker — even with a
full load of dirt. Add in the
comfort of these cabs and
you have it all. You get out of
this cab at the end of the day
and you’re just as fresh as
when you got in.”

In April, we featured Hal and Brian Pierce of Pierce
Builders in Greater Hartford, Connecticut, and
discussed what makes their operation unique.
Now, we see how it’s helping keep them busy.
Attention to detail is a skill that can make or break. And for
Hal Pierce, minding the little things that matter most is a
practice that comes naturally. The owner of Pierce Builders,
along with his wife, Alescia, and brother, Brian, makes sure
this trait is evident in all the company does.
Take their feet, for example. Not everyone can see the beneft of washing and detailing equipment at the end of every day, but the pride and professionalism that conveys says more about Pierce Builders than any ad or salesperson could.
“To my thinking, each piece in our feet is a rolling business card — so we wash each of them every day to hopefully place this thought in our current and potential customers’ heads: If I hire Pierce Builders, they are going to treat my project with the respect they give their own feet.” As far as current customers go,
it’s a strategy that’s paid of.

SUPPORT SYSTEMContracted by Regan Development, Pierce
Builders’ current project involves laying the
groundwork for housing units specially de-
signed to support the independent living of
people with multiple sclerosis (MS). A disease
that afects nerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord, it disrupts the ability of the nervous
system to communicate and results in a wide
range of symptoms. Severity can vary day by
day, making for a unique set of needs when it
comes to housing. For Regan Development,
the issue lands close to home, as their Vice
President Ken Regan was diagnosed in 1993.
“This is the frst project in New England
specifcally for people who need services
coordinated by the National MS Society,”
says Regan. “As a result, we can ofer fully
accessible apartments that allow them to
remain independent in the community.”
From 42-in.-wide, remote-controlled doors
and hardwood foors that accommodate
wheelchairs and scooters, to fexible wiring
and structural components for the installa-
tion of bedside lifts, it’s a project where every
detail was accounted for — making Pierce
Builders a more-than-ideal partner.*
*Source: http://www.regandevelopment.com/wp-content/ uploads/2014/04/Regan-Development.pdf.
TEAMWORKNo matter the project, it’s no secret you need
the right tools, and Pierce Builders seems
to have the perfect combo. “Our operators
like the versatility of the 290G LC Excavator
for this job. It’s compact enough to dig the
foundation, and has a powerful engine that
accommodates our big bucket for loading the
300D ADT,” remarks Hal Pierce. “Then with
the 644K Loader, we have the advantage of
the side-dump feature that makes flling the
footing trenches much more efcient. The
bucket’s a little bigger and carries the perfect
amount of stone to fll what’s been excavated,
and we can just keep rolling all around the
perimeter.
“On top of that, we’re also utilizing JDLink™
in the 644K and 300D. It lets us monitor
fuel consumption while idling and loading,
and under power, so we know how we need
to operate diferently to get the best fuel
economy.” It’s safe to say Hal Pierce runs a
tight ship, and we’re glad we can help him
stay on top of his game. But regardless of
tools and technology, he’s got something
extra that money can’t buy.
BUILDING A REPUTATIONWhile Pierce Builders got this job the old-
fashioned way through competitive bidding,
it was more than numbers that won round
two. “After a few weeks of watching us work,
Ken seemed to be impressed. He liked the
equipment, the guys, how we left the jobsite
looking at the end of the day — so he started
asking us about a much-larger MS project in
New York that would include more roadwork,
infrastructure, and cuts and flls. The two-
hour-and-fve-minute drive one way made
us hesitant, but Ken insisted. So we turned
in some numbers and were given the job.”
THE 644K LOADER HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF
THE SIDE-DUMP FEATURE THAT MAKES FILLING
FOOTING TRENCHES MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
There’s no doubt pricing will always play a
factor, but nothing beats knowing your work
ethic and quality give you an advantage over
competitors for miles around. Which seems
to be something Pierce’s dealer, W.I. Clark,
can claim, as well.
GETTING YOU WHAT YOU NEED
TO GET THE JOB DONEHal Pierce continues, “We’re able to do what
we do because of the machines and support
from John Deere. I’ve owned these machines
for years and have had little problem with
any of my purchases. Our dealer rep, Greg
Hurlburt, has been great at helping us get the
most out of the machines through uptime
services like JDLink. He also helps us select
and fnance the machines that will grow our
business, so we can take on more projects
like this new MS housing facility in New York.”
When it comes to keeping you working with
the machines that best suit your needs,
John Deere is happy to help. And when it’s
for such a great cause — well, that’s a detail
not easily overlooked.

★ THE 644K ★
MORE POWER, CONTROL, AND PRODUCTIVITY
It’s not just big torque reserves that make the 644K Loader such an impres-
sive performer. Single-lever joysticks or two-lever fngertip controls provide
smooth, near-efortless control. The engine/hydraulic match maintains
good boom and bucket power into and out of the pile, even with big loads
and wet or hard-packed material. And Powerllel™-equipped loaders feature
an innovative design that allows the machines to excel at a wide variety
of material-handling tasks. Add in the High-Lift option to extend your lift
height measured at the hinge pin by 431 mm (17 in.), and you’ve got a loader
that does the heavy lifting for you.
INCREASE YOUR
UPTIMEWITH POWERPLAN™
Your work involves many moving
parts — from coordinating sched-
ules and deadlines to the actual
innerworkings of your equipment.
And keeping all of these elements
functioning in sync is crucial for
reaching your annual goals.
Downtime caused by unexpected — and
inevitable — machine repairs poses an
obstacle to the best of plans. Luckily, our
PowerPlan’s Major Purchase Option can
help you preserve cash fow, even during
the slow season.
A SIDE-BY-SIDE LOOK
Take these two contactors, for example.
They’re the same in terms of size, equip-
ment, and job type, but one has PowerPlan
while the other does not.
Now let’s take a look at what happens to
their cash fow when they both experience
the same costly maintenance issue:
As a commercial line of credit administered
by John Deere Financial, PowerPlan allows
this contractor to enjoy fxed payments
and terms on large repair expenses. This
means he can get his machinery back up
and running while preserving cash fow for
ongoing operational expenses. It also helps
cut down on paperwork by condensing all
of his monthly invoices into one.
Gain the peace of mind of knowing you’ll
be prepared for emergencies by setting up
a PowerPlan of your own.

From skid steers and compact excavators to trailers and dump trucks, JDLink universal
telematics products and subscription services let you manage all your assets with the
same JDLink interface you already use for your John Deere construction equipment.
Whether you want to simply track and limit your equipment’s locations or gain
utilization data and maintenance tracking, there’s a solution to ft your need.
To gain some insight on how customers are
beneftting from the Asset-Tracking Terminal
and JDLink Locate subscription, we talked
to Technology Consultant Leo Wambold of
James River Equipment.
“Even on smaller jobsites where you may only
have a handful of attachments, once you start
getting busy it can be easy to lose track of
where you last used a bucket or set of forks —
it happens to almost everyone. But with these
slap-and-track devices you can focus on get-
ting the job done instead of worrying about or
wondering where that attachment is. They’re
perfect for anything without a power source
because they have an internal battery, and all
they take is a couple of screws or adhesive to
be applied — I know my customers appreciate
that convenience. And with the geofencing and
tracking capabilities, you have a much better
chance of recovering the equipment should it
be stolen. We’re even thinking about putting
them on all the equipment and attachments
in our yard here at the dealership — they just
make your job that much easier.”
Now you can add JDLink™ to your entire feet Keep better tabs on all your jobsite assets
Access machine location
and add security by set-
ting up a geofence around
a machine so you can be
alerted if it travels outside
the virtual boundary. The
hardware, an Asset-Track-
ing Terminal, features an
internal battery, so it can
be easily installed with
screws or adhesive on
anything you need to track:
trailers, tools, attachments,
equipment — you name
it. The only mounting
requirement is a clear view
of the sky, providing you
the ability to track and
secure all your equipment
with one application.
Includes machine location,
geofence and curfew fea-
tures, and adds distance
traveled and engine hours
so you can track utilization
and schedule periodic
maintenance. JDLink
Express also lets you
“ping” the machine for
real-time data updates.
Two different hardware
options cover everything
from light-duty trucks to
skid steers and heavy-duty
haulers.
The hardware supporting
these two JDLink services
is built tough to withstand
demanding applications.
Both JDLink Locate and
JDLink Express provide
easy, remote access to
your machines through
a single, simple-to-use
website. You can also view
location and alert informa-
tion on your mobile device
and confgure JDLink to
send alerts via email or
text message.
If you own larger
John Deere construction
equipment and use JDLink
Select or Ultimate, your
Locate and Express data
can be accessed through
the same JDLink interface
you already use. Even if
you own other makes of
equipment, these solutions
provide a single interface
for accessing all your
feet data.
Theft protection is a high
priority for equipment
owners and insurance
companies alike. JDLink is
a stolen-vehicle-recovery
system that may qualify
for insurance-premium
discounts.

Superintendent/Operator,

inspiration for the Final Tier 4
G-Series Motor Graders
“THIS MACHINE IS PROOF THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN FT4 MACHINE THIS MACHINE IS PROOF THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN FT4 MACHINE
WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANYTHING.”
Our Final Tier 4 Grader exceeds operator expectations. As a member of our
Customer Advocate Group, operator Tim Curl was concerned about losing his rear
sightlines — especially with more emissions equipment in the engine housing.
But John Deere engineers managed to tuck it away without any visibility loss.
Tim’s other concern was power — until he got behind the wheel. “I can guarantee
you, running it myself, it hasn’t lost any power at all.” And here’s a bonus: this
grader’s total fuid consumption (diesel plus diesel exhaust fuid) is lower than
the diesel fuel consumption alone on our previous model. It’s one more example
of building success together. To learn more, visit your dealer or our website. Watch the video at JohnDeere.com/graders
