John Deere’s Excavator Operator Training Simulator

John Deere’s Excavator Operator Training Simulator is a cost-effective, safe, and efficient way to train new excavator operators in a risk-free environment. This customer-driven training simulator features real-world situations, jobsite hazards, safety violations, hand signals, equipment damage, budget-based scoring, and replica machine controls.

Eight highly detailed and realistic lessons teach proper operator technique, machine controls, and safe operation in a virtual jobsite. After completing each lesson, operators receive immediate feedback based on their performance. Operators are scored against a budget and other skilled operators to help identify strengths and weaknesses.
