John Deere G Series Excavators Increase Comfort And Productivity

Mar 14, 2013

John Deere & Company has recently announced the addition of two new models to their G-Series excavators that feature a wide variety of improvements, increasing uptime, comfort, and overall productivity for operators. This is according to a company press release.

According to the release, the John Deere 50G and John Deere 60G excavator models, are particularly well-suited for the rental, commercial/residential building, landscaping, and site development segments. Both new models feature an innovative wider door design for improved entry and visibility to the left hand side of the machine. For increased uptime, Deere added a third service door to each model to provide improved access to the cooling core. The cores are positioned side-by-side versus being stacked in-line for increased performance.

The 50G and 60G also offer a new multifunction monitor which provides a coolant temperature and fuel gauge, clock, two trip meters, regeneration inhibit, auto shut down control, and machine hour display.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
