Differences between John Deere dozers from 1988-2020 450-650 G H J K models. Which ones best?

[@liamterry5301]

I'd take the old mechanical one all day those where almost bullet proof. Keep up on the fluids run forever.

[@timberterra]

I just bought a Cat D5C, similar to the Deere 650G. I looked for both and a good D5C came up first. Wanted to stick to a mechanical machine with no emissions. Hydro and computer is beyond my desire and ability to fix. I've enjoyed your education over the years on dozers. It helped me to make a better buying decision.

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Neverending buckets of knowledge 👍You da man Clinton😎

[@timharris4874]

Most enjoyable Sunday school . I'm thinking we should have this class more often! Thank you!

[@ProudPapaw88]

You should be teaching classes. You have a wealth of knowledge. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@chipmccoy5077]

Great video Clint. Thanks for sharing and explaining the difference between the dozers.

[@larrywilliamsii5208]

G models were best dozers ever made. I’ve had all those models and gs are by far the best ever

[@scottdzuris3403]

We run the j and k series at work..both nice but i got a 350 c for arnd the house and side jobs and prefer the simplicity of the older dozers that just run without all the emmisions and electronics problems..just check the oil and start pushing

[@jimstewart8927]

I bumped the thumbs up on the comment "you should teach", true but wait 30 years, today you fix/repair. That is by far the greatest need of today!!!! Thanks for videos!

[@ronniethompson2569]

I had a 450B loader 1972 it was all mechanical with dry clutches direct drive. It was a work horse. Ran it in a landscape construction company. I finally sold it I’m not sure if, it is still around. It needed a complete under carriage under it. I did rebuild the engine once and new tracks once. I think it had between 20 and 30 thousand hours on it. It was stick steer. Loved that machine I wish I still had it.

[@robertstibz9506]

I enjoyed driving a Kamatsu 155A years ago, also loved Cats, D4 D6 D8 D9, never had anything bigger.

[@jackdawg4579]

We dont see a lot of John Deere construction equipment here in Australia, CAT is the far more prevalent US brand we see. So it is interesting to see you work on and talk about the John Deere's.

[@petemoore7315]

Had an uncle that got a 450G LGP to recalim some land and I got all the hours I wanted on it helping him. Great little machine but It was tough when I would move to a skid steer with the foot controlled bucket. After hours of steering the dozer with my feet, I would dig lots of holes with that skid steer!

[@michaelyochum8532]

The G-series is still my favorite

[@rayschneider5756]

It amazes me how much knowledge runs through Clint’s brain. If I were a young man I would love working in this environment. God Bless this hole thing is great and fun to watch

[@kylejones2075]

That was informative. And made it easier to see all the differences while they were all sitting together. Very cool thanks for sharing!!!

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Clint hence why you prefer Deere know them inside and out very informative

[@kevinmcnabb168]

We just sold our 1990 650G .4700 hours with no problems. We also had a 2002 850C series 2 . It was a beast. Nothing runs like a Deere!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Good machines

[@Camera1931-p5v]

Love John Deere dozers! Great job explaining the differences! Thank you!

[@everestyeti]

Thanks for sharing Clint, you certainly are a mine of information, the only thing that I can see that John Deere has done is over the years, instead of keeping the ethos of making equipment easy to repair, it's now become more complicated and there for more difficult. 👍🤗

[@kennygray9013]

I agree the K series is not as much hp even tho they bumped it up. An older dozer will walk all over the k’s.

[@larrywarner4305]

Enjoy all videos and you knowledge. Never work on one but learn a lot. You are the man.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the differences in the dozers, I found it helpful, especially when you mention the type dozer you are working on in a video. Very pleased you took the time.

[@alcosteam]

That 450G would be nice to have.. I picked up a 1974 450C track loader in 2001 with just over 2200 original hours on it and have put about 380 hours on it since. I have known the original salesman who sold the machine since about 1980 and the original owner for about 10 years who has provided me with its original sales documentation and other info. Hard to believe that in the middle 70's you could buy a 450C for around 20K.

[@jimskinner9234]

My dad bought a brand new 450C dozer w/rippers in 1980 for $40K. I still have it and it works good. Just replaced all of the original hydraulic hoses 2 years ago. Nice simple machine.

[@jerryhammack1318]

Hands down love the G series of John Deere tractors! Will gladly take one over the newer models ! I personally like being in control and not a computer !

[@kimazbell460]

Thanks for a great comparison between the different series.

[@wendyandjodymaillet7503]

Clint, thank you for taking the time to educate your customers/viewers! Take care and I’ll see you down the road…

[@johnroberts8475]

IDK Clint maybe you should have been a teacher cause that had to be the best "101 Dozer" explanation I've heard. 👍

this is great for somebody that is starting to learn about this stuff.thanks

Back in the day I used to run a 450 D and an 880 case. The g is a little newer then I played with but all in all good machines

[@andrewstraus2178]

Thanks for the great video Clint.

[@stoker7211]

Perspective is priceless. I appreciate your willingness to share your experience this way. Thanks very much. I need a dozer in that size range and the things you said here will make a difference in which one I choose. Good job Mr. C&C.

No Kevin in a swim suit..LOL, my neighbor lady wanted to see that.... poor Kevin is what I call this one particular. My time has come and plumb left the planet, I ran machines with a clutch arm plus steer brakes and steer clutches. Oh, cable blades were just what most had then... glad that time is over for the most part .... I'm saying that even a cable blade had places it did shine. I would like to see a grade control that stops a guy from going down too deep when doing like ya did in front of the shop doing the extension of the floor.

Hey Clint, I half expected you to break into an auctioneer's chant. LOL Good info.

Now that was a good info on the JD dozers

[@kymw7833]

Thamks Clinton as always your a wealth of imformation i had no idea how variable dozers were i must be honest hear in Australia we have mostly Cat Komatsu over the years the Cat net work is huge due to mining i didnt know John Deere made Dozers the name here is mostly associated with farming with which they have a very good reputation oh and also Backhoes ,your business opened my eyes to the variety of JD equipment Kym Adelaide

[@localcrew]

My mind may be playing tricks on me here but I ran a JD dozer for a few days and I swear it was a 455G with fancy hand-grip steering that would spin in its own footprint like a skid-steer loader. 6-way blade. It was a rental unit so every “Operator” did the spin turn and destroyed the rails. I only did it once just to be sure it would do it. It had the speed changing toggle by the left thumb and before I got it figured out I kept accidentally bumping it up and down, going faster and slower until I looked down and saw the rabbit and turtle. Or tortoise. Whatever. Could be a hare too - suffice it to say that there are two animals on there for non-readers among us. Plus it works in any language - there’s that. I liked running it even though I had to get used to it being deflected by bigger brush piles. At the time I was used to running a D7 with plenty of trouser on it so it would really push straight. Spoiled , I guess.

[@localcrew]

“Trouser” LoL. Dang autocorrect. Should read “Grouser”. Everyone knows I would never wear trousers.

Great video Clint, with your best series pick would that change if we consider ex-milatary machines? I thought they are built without emissions? Or would it remain unchanged?

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

They do not have emissions at this time

[@Richard-C]

i will be going to bed smarter tonight, thanks for all the explanations 👏👏👏👍👍👍👌

[@shawndavis1759]

Thanks

[@JackMacLupus]

Well, i'm surely not wrong when i say, that the older models surely have the advantage that they are all mechanical with almost nothing electrical or computers in it what makes them very durable and easy to fix. Okay dont get me wrong, having electrical/digital systems is surely a nice thing to have because it can help you a LOT operating the machine, but the problem with that is, the more electrical systems, computers, sensors and all you have in a machine, the higher the chance gets that one little part gets screwed up and you have to search DAYS to find the problem. IF you can find the problem. I remember a excavator that had an electrical problem, a certain cable had a returning short circuit all the time when it ran that was blowing the fuses again and again, and nobody could find the problem because they checked the cable over and over with no damage to be seen somewhere. They then endet up by cutting the cable and making a bypass that replaced the old cable and Tadaa, it worked like clockwork after that. So electical/digital systems on a machine can be curse and blessing at the same time.
