The ADT Concept and a higher return on investment for the owner.
The ADT has certain unique characteristics that distinguish it from
other hauling vehicles: Common ADT Options

9. Haul speeds: Some regulations require a maximum speed limi-
tation along certain routes, as do some haul-route owners. Keep
these restrictions in mind and ask your dealership to limit speeds
through the ADT’s onboard control systems. When there are no
haul-speed regulations, keep in mind that the rear chassis of
any ADT provides little operator feel for stability since it is free
to oscillate independently, while some “porpoising” gives a
sense of longitudinal stability.
10. Safety: When operating any articulated vehicle, know and

always practice the following important safety steps:
a. Wear your seat belt! Consider the damage potential of
100,000-plus pounds of moving steel and payload.
b. Keep your haul speed in line with what is acceptable on the

particular jobsite.
c. DO NOT allow anyone to approach your vehicle without posi-

tive acknowledgement from both you and them of the conse-
quences of climbing on a running ADT.
d. If you are ever in doubt, shut the ADT off, request positive
confirmation from the site leader, and decide if the safest
way to operate your vehicle accommodates bystanders near
your equipment or riders in the cab.

Maintenance Practices
Remember, proper maintenance can help reduce operating costs.
A periodic maintenance chart to assist you in servicing the machine
when recommended can be found on the machine as well as in
your operator’s manual:
• Completely review the operator’s manual.

• Fill all fluid compartments to FULL per the operator’s manual
recommendations.
• Maintain tire pressure at the suggested psi.
• Replace any missing hardware or leaking hydraulic lines.
• Follow the recommended service intervals per the operator’s
manual.

764 Dozer Features
• N
ew concept in earthmoving equipment combining the flotation
of a crawler, agility of a loader, and finish-grading ability of a motor
grader.
• G
rading speeds are faster than a traditional dozer, increasing
finish-grade productivity and revenues.
• R
ubber tracks and articulated steering minimize ground dis-
turbance, reducing the number of finish passes. The 764’s rubber
tracks are also less likely to cause punctures while installing liners.
• R
ubber undercarriage allows travel over finished surfaces and
across jobsites at speeds up to 16 mph.
• F or reduced vibration and increased operator comfort, hydrau-

lic cylinders in the suspended mainframe function as ride-enhanc-
ing shock absorbers.
• L ow-mounted drivetrain components contribute to a low center

of gravity and exceptional side-hill stability.
• C
ab-forward design provides one-of-a-kind blade visibility. Isolates
the operator from the powertrain for a quieter work environment.
• P
roven Quad-Cool™ system isolates radiators and coolers in a
separate compartment away from engine heat. For increased effi-
ciency, durability, and easier core cleanout.
• R
ear drawbar and two selective-control valves let you pull a
wide variety of implements such as compaction wheels, finish
scrapers, construction disks, and dolly-wheel scrapers (up to
11 cubic yards).

Brakes
Service Hydrostatic (dynamic) braking stops the machine whenever direction-control lever is moved to neutral or the decelerator
is depressed to the detent
Parking Exclusive safety feature engages wet, multiple-disc brakes whenever the engine stops, the decelerator is depressed to the
end of travel, or the park-lock lever is placed in the start or neutral positions and motion is detected; machine cannot be
driven with brake applied, reducing wearout or need for adjustment; spring-applied, hydraulic release

shock loads; hydraulic drive motors are mounted to the mainframe; final drives are double sealed with electronic seal-
integrity indicator
Drawbar Pull 365 kN (82,055 lb.) @ .15 km/h (.09 mph)
Brakes
Service Hydrostatic (dynamic) braking stops the machine whenever the direction/steering control lever is moved to neutral or the
combined decelerator/brake pedal is fully depressed
Parking Exclusive park brake feature engages wet, multiple-disc brakes whenever the engine stops, the combined decelerator/brake
pedal is fully depressed, the park-lock lever is placed in the park position, the emergency travel stop button is depressed
on the dash, the F-N-R control is in the neutral position for more than 7 seconds, or machine motion is sensed with F-N-R
in the neutral position; machine cannot be driven with brake applied, reducing wearout or need for adjustment

* Contact your John Deere dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include
optional equipment such as thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and
volume loading applications such as mass-excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level appli-
cations, rocks, and uneven surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.

380G LC Excavator
202 kW (271 hp)
FEATURES
Heavier operating weight adds stability

and increases lift capacity compared to
the 350G LC.
Standard heavy-duty boom and 3.2-m
(10 ft.6 in.) arm provides the strength
to handle demolition, scrap, and other
demanding applications.
Sealed and lubricated heavy-duty
undercar-riage features strutted links and
large idlers and rollers to deliver
long-lasting and reliable
performance in the toughest applications.
Coolers are well-protected behind heavy-
duty hinged doors. Swing-out coolers fur-
ther simplify clean-out. Optional reversing
fan automatically or manually back-blows
cooler cores to reduce debris buildup and
help increase uptime.
Rigid, reinforced D-channel side
frames provide maximum cab and
component protection.

* Contact your John Deere dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include optional equipment such as thumbs or couplers.
Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and volume loading applications such as mass excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller
buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.

material, begin pitching the blade back before you reach the inter-
section. As you travel and pitch rearward, the moldboard will raise
and feather-out material smoothly.
• Using proper pitch will keep the cutting edge sharp. If the moldboard
is pitched too far forward, the cutting edge will eventually dull. If the
moldboard is pitched so the thickest portion of the cutting edge is in
contact with the ground, the moldboard will stay sharp and you will
extend the life of the cutting edge.
• Using proper pitch will decrease fuel consumption. Proper blade pitch
demands less horsepower from the engine. Moldboard pitch is directly 9
related to the amount of material the grader can move. If too much
forward pitch is used, less material will be moved. Experiment with
this. Try different degrees of pitch. See what works best for your
conditions.

16–2 | Owning and Operating Costs

A. Model: Model designation.
B. Delivered Price: Quoted price, including taxes, transportation, and all other charges to place machine at jobsite.
C. Less Tire Replacement Cost: Tires are a wear item included in operating costs, not owning costs.
D. Delivered Price Less Tires: B minus C.
E. Residual Value: The estimated trade-in or resale value of the machine at the end of the ownership period. Does not
include anticipated inflation. Residual value percentage assumed above.
F. Adjusted Machine Cost: D minus E. The adjusted cost of the machine (less tires and the estimated residual value of the machine
at the end of the ownership period). No operating costs are included.
G. Estimated Hours of Annual Use: Obtain from prospective owner.
H. Estimated Ownership Period: Stated in terms of the useful life of the machine, not depreciation life.
I. Estimated Total Hours of Use: G times H.
J. Hourly Replacement Cost: F divided by I.
K. Interest, Insurance, and Taxes: Interest is the cost assessed to the owner for using capital, either through financing or the time value
of money when cash is used. Insurance is the cost associated with protecting the owner’s capital.
Taxes include state or local property tax, not excise tax, which is included in the purchase price.
L. Total Hourly Owning Costs: J plus K. These are costs that must be recovered during the ownership period.
M. Fuel: Measuring actual consumption on the same model (same emission tier rating) in a similar application
is the most accurate method of calculation. Severity of application, operator skill, fuel type, vehicle
configuration, attachments, etc., affect consumption. If actual consumption is not known, the figure
below is an estimate based on numerous field applications with measured data by model and severity
of application. These figures are average fuel consumption over extended periods of time (100–1,000
hours); specific operations may have greater or less fuel consumption.
Low: Long idle periods; light-duty, utility, or nonproduction work in light or loose materials; finish grad-
ing; light utility work; skidding light loads; or light blading or piling of logs.
Medium: Production work in material of moderate weight and composition; frequent idling while working
in heavy or hard materials; scarifying or moderate snowplowing; road maintenance; or skidding 16
or gate-delimbing medium-sized loads (majority of applications fall in to this grouping).
High: Work in hard or rocky materials; heavy ripping; continuous-cycle drawbar work or bank loading
at full throttle; continuous cycling on surfaces with deep tire/track penetration; skidding or gate-
delimbing heavy loads; or heavy snowplowing.
N. Lube Oils, Filters, etc.: The combined hourly costs of oils, grease, and filters at major service intervals. Factor applied for aver-
age conditions. When operating in consistently dusty conditions, increase the hourly cost by 25 percent.
Costs are based on prices in North America.
O. Repair and Labor: Please contact your John Deere dealer for estimated hourly Repair and Labor costs for your machine.
Machine applications, operating conditions, operating techniques, and maintenance practices vary from
machine to machine, so the figure provided is an estimate. Inclusion of this estimate does not constitute
any guarantee, expressed or implied, of total machine repair costs.

P. Tires: Factors affecting tire life include travel speeds, surface conditions, machine loading, and vehicle
maintenance. Tire life is best determined through past experience. Most users pay less than list
price, so obtain quoted price. Not applicable for tracked machines.
Q. Undercarriage: Conditions affecting undercarriage life are impacts to the undercarriage structure, abrasive wear
on mating surfaces, maintenance, environment, and machine operation. The undercarriage cost
estimate provided is based on the average North American cost.
Low: S oft, dry soils (clay, loam, etc.), and relatively smooth surfaces; little or no sand or rock
particles.
Average: Damp soils with some sand and/or rock with moderately irregular surfaces.
High: Wet, sandy soils or soils mixed with rock particles; hard, uneven surfaces.
R. Ground-Engaging Tools: Actual costs of wear items to be used. Life of the items should be based on actual experience when
known. Otherwise, the figures provided are based on estimated average service life in moderate
applications. Adjustment for light- and severe-duty applications are adjusted as follows:
Multiple
Light: 1.3 to 1.6 Low-impact loading or cutting (clay or loam); nonabrasive material (dry soils
containing no rock or sand).
Moderate: 1 Moderately hard and abrasive material (dry, hard-packed clay with some sand
or gravel).
Severe: 0.5 to 0.8 High-impact materials (rock, caliche, coral, etc.); highly abrasive materials
(sand, gravel, or rock particles).
S. Operator Costs: If included, should include hourly wages plus annual cost of fringe benefits and insurance, on an
hourly basis.
T. Service Call Cost Estimate

(optional): Estimated annual cost of field-service calls for mileage and hourly driving charges.
U. Damage/Vandalism Cost
Estimate (optional): Estimated annual cost for unexpected damage or vandalism.
Owning and operating costs for the same size machines can vary significantly depending on many variables including the severity of the
application, operator technique, maintenance practices, machine usage, etc. The figures included herein are provided only as estimates,
not precise figures. The operating costs estimate has been derived from United States dollars based on prices prevailing in the United
States, and then may have been converted to the stipulated national currency at the given exchange rate. No representation, expressed
or implied, has been given or intended as to the accuracy of the estimate contained herein.
