John Deere Slope Control for K-Series Dozers

Slope Control is a factory option that provides an entry-level integrated grade control solution for the 450K, 550K and 650K dozers.

• Operators can view real-time cross-slope and main fall-slope percentages through the in-cab monitor
• Grade to desired slopes by adjusting the blade manually or through the system’s automated control
• Sensors protected to prevent damage to components
• Can be set up in Target Mode to enter the specified target slope into the monitor, or Joystick Mode so slope is maintained based on the last joystick input
• Both modes can automatically control blade tilt, raise and lower commands to maintain a target slope
• Flip Slope enables the operator to quickly adjust the target main fall or cross-slope to the opposite value for seamless turnarounds before starting the next pass
• Integrated Increment and Decrement feature allows operator to adjust the cross slope or main fall-slope target value on the fly using buttons on the blade control joystick
