Tellus is here for you at every stage — spec'ing the right machine, standing up connectivity, getting operators fluent with in-cab displays, and keeping everything running once it leaves the lot. The four technologies below are where most customers start.
John Deere's compact construction lineup is built to move between jobsites on a standard trailer and work where full-size machines can't. Four families, dozens of models, one support partner.

JDLink is the connective tissue of Precision Construction — standard on most new John Deere construction machines and the foundation of the John Deere Operations Center. It turns every connected machine into a source of real-time data, so you always know where your fleet is, what it's doing, and what it needs next.
The John Deere app that puts your fleet in your pocket — machine info, manuals, parts lookup, and a direct line to Tellus, all in one place.


John Deere's grade management path gives contractors a clear upgrade lane — from 2D guidance on the monitor all the way up to fully integrated 3D SmartGrade with automated boom, bucket, and blade control. Every solution is factory-installed and factory-calibrated. No aftermarket masts. No mystery components. Just machines that hit grade on the first pass.
Benchmark your elevation on the in-cab monitor, build your job on screen, and go to work. Semi-automated grading without GNSS or 3D design files — perfect for contractors stepping up from stakes and strings.
Fully integrated GNSS-based grade control that automatically maintains boom, bucket, and blade position to a 3D design. Available on excavators, dozers, motor graders, and compact track loaders — with Topcon or Leica options.
