  Deere and Company is most commonly referred to as John Deere, after the company founder. John Deere started this heavy machinery conglomerate in 1837, with the invention of the first self-scouring steel plow, to assist farmers with their cultivation and development of our land. Today, with world headquarters located in Moline, Illinois, John Deere is widely recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of agriculture and construction equipment and machines. In 1984, John Deere launched the newest crawler dozer in its extensive line of bulldozers, known as the John Deere 850Crawler Dozer. This turbocharged caterpillar-tracked-tractor is ideal for pushing, moving and racking large quantities of soil, mud, rubble, sand and debris.
  
  

Productivity

• American farmers and builders were still feeling the impact of inflation in 1984. The 1984 John Deere 850Crawler Dozer was designed specifically to optimize productivity. The turbocharged 6-cylinder engine has a 1,500 maximum RPM horsepower of toque and includes a nine-gallon cooling system, providing operators with reliable power for continuous work. The hydraulic fan maintains a steady temperature preventing the crawler from overheating for longer run-times and usage, and providing savings in fuel consumption.
  
  

Stability

• The 1984 John Deere 850Crawler Dozer is equipped with durable continuous tracks and rollers for balance and even distribution of the 37,120-pound weight. This allows the tractor ease in maneuvering through rough unstable terrain, while preventing the dozer from sinking into the ground. The dual-path hydrostatic drive train allows full power turns, counter rotation and variable track speeds for a wide range of flexible movements without compromising the stability of the dozer.
  
  

Operator Friendly

• Bulldozer operators are often required to work long, continuous hours from the cab. The cab of the 1984 John Deere 850Crawler Dozer is a forward-design, positioning the operator close to the front of the dozer, for a higher visibility behind, below and beyond the blade. The armchair was built with deluxe suspension and seven available adjustments to provide more comfort and prevent fatigue for the operator.
  
  

Performance

• The 1984 John Deere 850Crawler Dozer is a high performance, best-in-class bulldozer used for long arduous heavy labor. While it is dependable and durable, it was designed for convenient and fast service and repair. Onboard diagnostics allow for quick comprehensive troubleshooting, and the operator station was constructed to tilt 70-degrees permitting operators to fully access all internal components within minutes.
