John Deere 450DLC excavators can be customized for scrap applications with various options and additions including shears and specialized foam filled tires. A special hydraulic setup on 450DLC machines is designed to more efficiently utilize the machine’s hydraulic system during shear cutting operations, so a shear’s capabilities can actually be enhanced. The hydraulic setup balances the work load between both hydraulic pumps, allowing for faster shear cycle times while maintaining maximum working pressures. John Deere 544J Z-bar linkage wheel loaders can similarly be customized for scrap operations. Auto forks and Primex smooth L-5 foam filled tires are two of the many options.
