At the heart of the 700J lies the PowerTech PVS 6068 engine, a 6.7-litre, 6-cylinder powerhouse delivering 93 kW (125 hp) at 1800 rpm and a robust 549 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. 

This ensures strong pushing power even in tough conditions, while meeting stringent emissions standards.

The Hydrostatic Transmission (HS) provides smooth, responsive control with variable speeds up to 8.9 km/h in both forward and reverse. 

Operators can fine-tune track power independently, allowing for precise manoeuvring—essential when working in tight spaces or on uneven terrain.

With an operating weight of 14,035 kg, the 700J maintains excellent stability. 

The 560 mm track shoes and 2616 mm track length on ground distribute weight effectively, reducing ground pressure to just 41 kPa—ideal for soft or rocky surfaces. 

The 1778 mm track gauge and 378 mm ground clearance further enhance stability and obstacle clearance.

The 3200 mm wide blade offers a 3 m³ capacity, with a cutting depth of 533 mm, making it perfect for efficient material movement. 

For tougher ground, the optional ripper digs to 563 mm, with a fixed shank design and a ripper weight of 1444 kg for deep penetration.

The height to cab top is 3007 mm, ensuring a commanding view of the worksite. 

With a turn circle diameter of 4775 mm (outside track), this dozer remains agile despite its power.
