John Deere New 26 P-Tier
Compact Excavator

Auxiliary Functions

Overview

Auxiliary 1 allows operators to control primary attachments such as buckets, thumbs, or other attachments to get the most out of your machine. Controlled on the joystick, operators can control attachments with their fingers, freeing up their feet for other functions and reducing fatigue during long work sessions. Auxiliary 2 is provided for customers looking to expand independent hydraulic controls beyond the basic functions of auxiliary 1. This feature complements Auxiliary 1 by allowing simultaneous operation of multiple attachments, making complex tasks more manageable.

Benefits

• Ergonomic Control Layout:
  • Aux 1 on Right Joystick & Aux 2 on Left Joystick (if equipped): This new configuration places critical auxiliary controls within easy reach, allowing operators to manipulate attachments with precision and minimal effort. This design reduces fatigue and enhances productivity during long working hours.
• Standard Auxiliary Flow Adjustment:
  • Auxiliary flow can be adjusted in the sealed switch module, allowing for on-the-fly modifications to hydraulic flow based on attachment needs and operator preference.
• Swing boom control on joystick clears up room on the floor for the operator. The speed can also be adjusted in the sealed switch module.

Sealed Switch Module
