The 300G LC excavator from John Deere has a large hood for improved engine access. Handrails help maintain contact when climbing the upper structure to service the engine, improving service accessibility and security. A single-side ground-level fluid filter service moves the engine oil, fuel and hydraulic pilot oil filters to ground level on the right side of the machine and adds a service door for easy access to change filters. 800/503-3373; www.johndeere.com.
