The new rear camera system, which is displayed on an 8-inch touchscreen, is designed to increase visibility for operators on the job site and minimises obstructions, said the company.
Upgraded LED work lights and LED turn signals are included to assist with low-light operation.

By GlobalDataAn optional heated and vented seat, along with a modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that increases airflow by 10% over previous models, are also available.
The updated cab now has one side post instead of two, which provides a wider field of view for activities such as truck loading and trenching. There is also a new overhead rear window that gives an unobstructed sightline to trenches and confined areas.
A loader grip designed for palm-on-top hand placement aims to support operator comfort during extended use. Storage options inside the cab have been adjusted to allow organisation of tools and personal belongings.
Additional features introduced include optional manual stabiliser locks and a stabiliser position warning system, a new pull-down front sunshade with increased surface area, redesigned pilot towers, common sealed switch module and centralised controls, updated toolbox and a pressurised gas strut as well as anti-corrosion hardware.
John Deere also listed previous updates such as optional Heavy Lift capability and Pressure Compensated Load Sensing (PCLS) hydraulics that are available on the 320, 410, and 710 P-Tier models.
All these upgrades expand the operational features of John Deere backhoe loaders for various job site requirements, said the company.
