One-piece welded maintenance resists torsional stress, absorbs shock loads, and delivers maximum strength while allowing easy service access to major components. Its oval-track design has only one wear-causing forward-travel flex point, for longer life. The production-class dozer’s heavy-duty undercarriage is sealed, lubricated, and built to last. The 1050K also features excellent total fluid economy (diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)). Extensive testing allowed John Deere’s DPF to go up to 15,000 hours before ash removal.

Typically, ash service is not necessary until the first engine overhaul. Ash service intervals for the diesel particulate filter are condition based, meaning the machine will notify the operator before service is required.

Operators don’t have to worry about diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning as it still occurs automatically with no impact to machine operation. This has the potential to reduce fuel consumption up to 25 percent with no loss in productivity in many applications. The Eco mode feature optimizes fuel economy while maintaining ground speed by automatically adjusting engine speed and transmission settings based on load. Like the smaller 850K, the 1050K features Eco mode.

Completely redesigned from the ground up, the 1050K’s dual-path hydrostatic transmission allows an operator to push a full load through turns without losing material, unlike torque-converter transmissions on competitor machines. The 1050K incorporates an EPA Final Tier 4/ EU Stage IV PowerTech diesel engine with 350 hp (261 kW). This is a Deere-designed machine that is fully supported by John Deere dealers and it’s unlike any crawler dozer our customers have ever seen in this size class.” “Customer feedback was vital in developing this game-changing dozer. "The 1050K is a new generation of crawler dozer that provides the uptime, low daily operating costs, and productivity needed on today’s jobsite,” said Mark Oliver, crawler dozers product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. Utilizing years of research and extensive customer feedback, the 1050K has the durability, reliability, and productivity needed for mining, quarrying, road building, and other large-scale applications. Designed and built in Dubuque, Iowa, the 1050K Crawler Dozer is the largest, most powerful dozer ever built by John Deere.
