John Deere Model 27D Compact Excavators
Engine

Yanmar 3 cyl diesel
100 cu " 26hp

Operating weight

6,393 lbs 3.5 metric tons

Want to position yourself for greater productivity? Try the D-Series Compacts. Their zero tail-swing design allows these nimble excavators to rotate fully without banging their tails into something. Combined with independent-swing boom and 360-degree rotation, they slip into close quarters comfortably. And work with ease around obstacles. But it’s not just their shape and small stature that make the D-Series Compact Excavators such valuable assets. Numerous enhancements such as higher-torque diesels, quicker cycles, faster transport speeds, and increased drawbar pulls make these highly capable compacts even more able. So you can put more work within reach.

D-SERIES EXCAVATOR CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS

The D-Series Compact Excavators represent a completely new machine from the ground up. Numerous changes have been made to increase productivity and uptime, and reduce daily operating costs. This summary is provided to help you familiarize yourself with these improvements.

PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Engine
The D-Series Compacts are equipped with new Yanmar direct-injection diesel engines. These engines are similar to Yanmar engines used in other C&CE and CWP applications. Therefore, many of the service parts are already in the John Deere parts system, and the engines should be familiar to dealership service technicians.
While the specifications show that the rated horsepower levels are decreasing, the torque curves are higher and hydraulic horsepower remains the same.
• The engine displacement on the 50D has been increased from 2.179 L to 2.189 L.
• The engine displacement on the 35D has been increased from 1.496 L to 1.642 L.
• The engine displacement on the 27D has been increased from 1.496 L to 1.642 L.
• The new engines meet EPA Tier-II emissions regulations.
• 500-hour oil-change interval maintained.

Performance
• Cycle times have been decreased 18% on the 27D, 5% on the 35D, and 7%on the 50D compared to prior models. Faster cycle times allow operators to dig more cubic yards per hour.
• Productivity for the 35D is 5.5% greater than the 35C. Productivity for the 50D is 11% greater than the 50C.
• Drawbar pull (traction power) on the 27D has been increased 50%.
• Drawbar pull (traction power) on the 35D has been increased 12%.
• Drawbar pull (traction power) on the 50D has been increased 34%.
• The 27D, 35D, and 50D feature automatic shifting from high-speed travel to low-speed travel. When the speed-selector switch is in high, the excavator will automatically shift to low when higher travel loads are encountered.
• The 35D and 50D feature auto-idle. If a machine function is not activated for four seconds, the engine rpm will return to idle. As soon as a lever is moved, the engine rpm will return to the preset level. The 27D retains a cable-controlled throttle.
• A new long-arm/heavier counterweight option provides an additional 12 inches of digging depth and reach. However, this option transforms the uni from zero tail swing to reduced tail swing.

Operator Comfort
• A new monitor is located in the front pillar of the cab or canopy. The new location is easier to read. The new monitor features two trip meters that can be set to remind operators when service is required.
• ROPS/FOPS canopy and cab are featured.
• Standard air-conditioning when the optional cab is selected.
• The cab is 5 inches wider for increased comfort and better visibility.
• The pilot control levers have been relocated 3.5 inches further apart.
• The cab door access area has been increased for easier entry and exit.
• A cup holder is standard.
• The control pattern change valve has been relocated to under the operator’s seat in a lockable compartment. A sight glass is provided to view pattern selection.
• Foot room has been increased with the relocation of the speed-selector switch from the floor to the right-hand console and the addition of foldable propel pedals.

Uptime
• The D-Series feature easily replaceable front hoses in the swing post transition area. These hoses can be replaced without tilting the cab or routing the hoses to the control valve.
• A single-pin swing post improves the stiffness in the boom and arm.
• The boom-cylinder guard has been strengthened to reduce the likelihood of damage.
• A redesigned undercarriage sheds dirt easily and reduces the time required to clean the undercarriage.
• The rubber tracks have been improved, with a harder rubber and reshaped|core to resist cracking.
• The drive sprocket and idler have increased in diameter to provide additional durability and help reduce the chance of “throwing” a track.

Low Daily Operating Costs
• The operator’s station tilts forward 50 degrees for easy access to the control valve and front-side engine components.
• All service checks can be done by opening just two doors.
• The plastic side panels have been replaced with easily repairable steel panels.
• The 500-hour grease interval has been retained.
• The 2,000-hour hydraulic oil-change interval has been retained.
