Backhoe Loader: Updated Features
Deere’s N Series line backhoe loaders are now available with several new enhancements. The hydraulic system has been upgraded to accept the Pilot Control system, which is now standard.

Deere’s optional fuel-economy package is now standard on the N Series, which includes an ECO mode to reduce fuel consumption during periods of low activity. The drivetrain has also been updated for greater roadability and better performance during grading. Deere Construction & Forestry; www.deere.com
