Buyers comparing crawler dozers options will find the John Deere 450K LGP spec'd as a mid-size machine, running a 80hp engine and 18,752 lb operating weight.
Compared against every other crawler dozers page on this site, the John Deere 450K LGP's 80hp puts it at the lighter-duty end of the horsepower range for crawler dozers models tracked here. By operating weight, it comes in at 9% of the heaviest crawler dozers model in this dataset.
This $148,000 450K LGP runs as a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease in our model: 8.25% estimated APR puts the payment at $3,034/mo, ending in outright ownership rather than a residual payoff. For financing at this level, financing in this range usually sits in the middle of a lender's underwriting tiers — expect a credit and business-history review. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $182,036 — about $34,036 above the $148,000 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $3,034/month, this ranks #2 of 13 by estimated payment among currently priced crawler dozers models — 50% below the crawler dozers average of $6,086/mo.
Because 100% bonus depreciation is currently in effect (equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025) and this asset qualifies under Section 179's $2,560,000 2026 cap, the full $148,000 cost is a candidate for a first-year deduction rather than a multi-year depreciation schedule -- the actual benefit depends on the buyer's taxable income, so this isn't a substitute for a CPA's sign-off.

Is the John Deere 450K LGP eligible for a Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. Under the 2026 Section 179 cap of $2,560,000, qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service, subject to CPA verification.
Does 100% bonus depreciation apply to a financed John Deere 450K LGP?
Bonus depreciation was restored to 100% for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025, and it applies more broadly than Section 179 -- it isn't capped by the $2,560,000 Section 179 limit and generally isn't affected by a business's Section 179-eligible income limit. Financing rather than paying cash doesn't disqualify a purchase from this: the full $148,000 placed-in-service cost is typically what counts, not the amount actually paid that year. Confirm applicability with a CPA before filing.
What's the total cost of financing this John Deere 450K LGP versus paying cash?
Over the full 60-month term, estimated payments total $182,036 -- about $34,036 more than the $148,000 cash price. That difference is the estimated cost of financing (interest plus the $750.00 doc fee) rather than paying up front.
How much would a down payment lower the monthly payment on this John Deere 450K LGP?
Putting 10% down ($14,800 on this John Deere 450K LGP) reduces the estimated payment from $3,034/mo to roughly $2,732/mo at the same 8.25% estimated APR -- a real reduction, since a down payment lowers the amount actually financed rather than just the sticker price.
