2005 John Deere 550J LGP Dozer
4,201 Hours | John Deere 4045T 4.5L 4-Cylinder Turbodiesel | Hydrostatic Transmission | Fuel Type: Diesel | Drive Type: Crawler | Serial: T0550JX110353
This 2005 John Deere 550J Low Ground Pressure (LGP) dozer, with 4,201 hours on the meter, is powered by a John Deere 4045T 4.5L 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine with an altitude-compensating turbocharger, delivering approximately 84 SAE net horsepower at 2,200 RPM. It features a dual-path, electronic-controlled hydrostatic transmission for precise speed and directional control, ideal for grading and earthmoving tasks. Identified by serial T0550JX110353, this crawler dozer is designed for low ground pressure applications, ensuring stability and minimal soil disturbance on soft or sensitive terrain.
The dozer is equipped with a 114.5-inch wide, 6-way straight blade, offering hydraulic angle and tilt adjustments for versatile grading, with an SAE blade capacity of approximately 2.6 cubic yards. The enclosed cab enhances operator comfort with air conditioning, heat, and ergonomic joystick steering for intuitive track control. The LGP undercarriage features 24-inch wide tracks with single grouser pads, supported by six bottom rollers per side, providing a ground pressure of approximately 4.3 psi for excellent flotation. The John Deere Dura-Trax™ undercarriage includes sealed, lubricated track links and permanently sealed rollers and idlers, reducing maintenance needs. The fuel tank capacity is 41 gallons, supporting extended operation with an estimated fuel consumption of 2-3 gallons per hour under typical loads.
Technical Details and Additional Features: The 550J LGP’s hydrostatic drive system features variable-displacement piston pumps and two-speed motors for each track, allowing independent control, counter-rotation, and full power turns for superior maneuverability. The load-sensing hydrostatic system adjusts speed and power to match changing conditions, with a maximum forward/reverse speed of 5.0 mph. The machine includes heavy-duty triple-reduction final drives, isolated from track and dozer frame loads for durability. Additional features include a 12-volt electrical system with a 65-amp alternator, a heavy-duty battery, and a decelerator pedal for speed control down to 0 mph. The dozer has a drawbar for towing or optional attachments like a ripper, and the blade’s hydraulic system delivers responsive control with a maximum flow of 15 gpm. The operating weight is approximately 18,750 lb, with a ground clearance of 13.6 inches, enhancing navigation over uneven terrain. The cab’s design includes a high-visibility layout with a reprofiled hood for improved forward sightlines, and the maintenance-friendly setup features vertical spin-on filters and optimized hose routings to minimize downtime.
The vehicle was professionally inspected in 2025, confirming its well-maintained condition with moderate hours for its age, suitable for construction, landscaping, or land clearing tasks. Maintenance records indicate recent servicing of the engine, hydraulic system, and undercarriage, with no major issues reported.
This John Deere 550J LGP dozer is an extremely nice, reliable crawler, featuring a robust 4.5L turbodiesel engine, a versatile 6-way blade, and an LGP undercarriage with 24-inch tracks, making it an ideal choice for contractors, landowners, or operators needing a compact, efficient machine for precise grading, pushing, or working in soft or uneven terrain.
