When Deere engineers set out to design the ultimate waste handler, they couldn’t have picked a better platform. With its full-featured hydrostatic drivetrain, John Deere’s 44-ton, 324-horsepower 1050C Dozer delivers automatic power management, infinite ground speeds, power turns, and all kinds of hydrostatically driven productivity advantages. But power and nimble performance are just the The rugged and reliable 1050C is one powerful performer. Designed and built with extensive input from solid-waste professionals like you. With its full-featured hydrostatic drivetrain, this agile 44-ton waste handler delivers production-boosting advantages you don’t get with other crawlers in its class. Numerous cooling system enhancements help beat the heat, for maximum uptime and productivity. beginning of the 1050C Waste Handler’s story. To make it the best possible landfill dozer, Deere engineers went right to the source — solid waste managers — to think through the solutions a purpose-built waste handler can provide.

Variable-speed fans run at speeds appropriate for operating conditions to preserve power and precious fuel. 1. Five-fin-per-inch radiator core resists plugging. Inline core tubes make clean-out easier. 2. Hinged front grille allows easy access for maintenance and cleaning. 3. Corrugated screens and hydraulically driven fans take the heat away from the transmission oil and engine coolant. Reversing fans engage automatically every 30 minutes to blow away refuse and help prevent plugging. Fans can also be operated manually from the seat as needed. 1 2 3 Incr IncrIncrIncreases your uptime eases your uptimeeases your uptimeeases your uptimewhile k while kwhile kwhile keeping its cool. eeping its cool.eeping its cool.eeping its cool. “If you can’t take the heat, stay out of its paces — this is one waste handler the landfill.” We heard that loud and that’s got what it takes to keep its clear.

PAGES 6–7 Heavy-duty light package helps illuminate the way. Lights are guarded to minimize damage. Cab waste barrier prevents refuse from accumulating in the powertrain. Air-conditioner condenser is mounted behind the cab for extra protection at no extra cost. Comprehensive hose guard system and internal routing keep hydraulic hoses out of danger. Tightly sealed engine compartment reduces air velocity and prevents vacuuming of debris. Turbocharger heat shield reduces fire risk. 1. Available front and/or rear striker bars shed material from the tracks. 2. Fuel tank guard and heavy-duty hinged bottom guards minimize damage, especially from C&D materials. Heavy-duty reinforcement bars protect the engine side shields and radiator. 12 Exclusive Final Drive Protection You know how expensive final drive repairs can be. Only the 1050C Waste Handler provides this level of final drive protection to keep you up and running. Three-step protection forms a stepped labyrinth to protect the final drives. Bolt- on seal guards provide the first layer of protection. If debris gets past this point, it encounters an oil-filled double seal that stands guard outside the final drive. Should debris penetrate the first oil-filled inner seal, the oil escapes, setting off a visual warning in the cab, alerting the operator to shut down the machine. The second seal maintains oil in the final drives. It’s an early warning system that A. Final drive seal guard B. Outer seal C. Inner seal can help avoid unscheduled downtime and expense. CCBBAA All daily engine service checks are accomplished on the right side. A conveniently located periodic maintenance chart helps ensure that nothing is overlooked. Deere Customer Personal Service (CPS) brings you access to online parts orders and a wealth of technical information. It’s just another way your John Deere dealer can help keep your operating costs low. 1. Replaceable half-shell bearings within the dozer push beams provide longer component life. 2. Convenient test ports allow quick hydrostatic-drive diagnostics. 3. No need to disconnect cooling system or hydraulic hoses when you want to tilt the cab. A built-in jack provides quick and easy access to drivetrain components. 4. Turbocharged V-6 diesel delivers 324 hp at a slow 1,800 rpm for enhanced longevity and optimum fuel economy.
