Undercarriage Structure

Undercarriage on John Deere Swing Machine
John Deere G-Series Swing Machines lower structure forms an “X” and provides excellent load distribution close to the ends of the track frames. The track frames are designed to provide a smooth ride as well as the ultimate strength and stability for all terrains.
- Even distribution of weight across the lower structure, provides less stress on the weld joints between the X-body and the track frames
- Tractive effort to maneuver through deep snow, swamps, or steep slopes
- Multiple configurations of track pad widths and number of grousers to match customer needs
- Two-speed automatic shift travel motors
- Optional tri-tracks reduce track twisting
