 Dual Horsepower
H/P - E
Power Modes • JD200LC
normally
operates
at 130 HP

• 140 HP is attainable with H/P active but only

during stick in - high load conditions
 Pressure - Up

Pressure Up
(8 seconds max)

• Pressure Up - operator activated by

depressing and holding the button at the top
of the right joystick
 Comparing System Quality
A system is only as good as the quality of its components.
 System Quality

• Partial steel separator wall

• No SOS sampling ports or hydraulic pressure ports
• No standard location for third function auxiliary
hydraulic pump mount
• Increased owning / operating costs to fabricate
mounting and install auxiliary pump
 System Quality

• In-tank hydraulic oil filter - service technician must open

hydraulic tank to access filter
• Possible contamination when servicing hydraulic oil
filter
• Hydraulic filter change interval is 500 hours
 System Quality

• Analog gauges and LED indicator lights

• Fewer warning indicators
• No hydraulic oil temperature indicator
• No written messages, icons only
 System Quality

• Engine coolant recovery / refill container not

serviceable from ground level
• Fixed oil cooler
• No maintenance free batteries
 System Quality

•Three wing nuts hold air filters

in position -time consuming to
remove
 System Quality

• Two fuel water separators - no

dedicated fuel filters
Durability = Lower Operational Costs
& Higher Resale Value.
 System Quality

• Boom and stick are taller - increasing

structural strength without obstructing
operator viewing area
• Internal baffles - increase strength to
• Option of 1 boom and 2 sticks only handle torsional loads
• Boom, stick and bucket linkages have to be • 100% ultrasonically tested boom and stick
greased every 50 hours • Option of 3 booms and 6 sticks to meet customer
needs in various applications
• The optional SA boom and sticks are designed for
severe application
• Boom and stick linkage greasing interval is
1000 hours; bucket linkage greasing interval is 100
hours
 System Quality

• Thinner carbody plates

• Higher turntable height
• Swing gear is greased from front and rear
requiring service technician to crawl under
counterweight or rotate upper structure
 Durability

• Increased bottom guarding is not an option

• Unprotected areas (exposed hoses / swivel area)
• Thin bottom plates
Operator Comfort = Productivity + Morale
 Operator Comfort
Hitachi / Deere

• Seat and console - slide forward & backward

• Integrated seat and console - levers & seat move together
• Pivoted armrest does not allow parallel armrest adjustment
• Only 1 vertical radio mount (not suitable for cassette
players or CD players because of exposure to dust)
• No front window assist - awkward to open and potentially
dangerous when closing
 Operator Comfort

• Manually adjusted climate control

• Four rear cab vents and two side vents
• No floor vents
• Optional cab fan
 Operator Comfort

•Lunch box storage area - open tray

 Viewing Area

• Tall engine hood obstructs operator rear view

• Emergency exit requires breaking rear window
glass with hammer
• Hammer may be lost
 Viewing Area

• Solid roof opening - overhead viewing

restricted during bad weather
• Limited view to overhead work
 Safety

• Engine will start with lever in the down and both

implement and travel hydraulics engaged -
endangering operator and work crew
• Hydraulics are not active with lever in vertical
position
 Safety

• Sandpaper anti-skid material - increased risk of

slipping when compared to the Caterpillar approach.
• Not effective if covered by snow, grease or mud
• Wears smooth with time - not durable
 Safety

• Engine service access from front and counterweight

side - potentially dangerous
• Unprotected turbocharger
• 180 Degree fan shroud
 Versatility

Tool Control System

• 1 way and 2 way circuits

are available
