Description
The 1987 John Deere 862 is a self-propelled elevating motor scraper designed for high-production earthmoving on road construction, site development, and land-leveling projects. Its elevating bowl loads independently without the need for a push tractor, reducing fleet requirements and lowering per-yard costs.
Powered by a John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 270 HP, the 862 moves large volumes of material efficiently across long haul distances. This unit is ideal for contractors handling cut-and-fill operations, borrow pit work, and large grading projects.
