John Deere: A new era

John Deere’s new generation of articulated dump trucks has set the stage for a new era of performance, safety, and eﬃciency in the construction industry, on top of added enhancements from the John Deere Operations Center.

John Deere is committed to the customer experience, which is why it has enhanced its portfolio of articulated dump trucks and announced new features within its John Deere Operations Center.

The next generation of models will now feature the 260 P-Tier, 310 P-Tier, 410 P-Tier, and 460 P-Tier. The 410 P-Tier and 460 P-Tier models are powered by the new JD14 engine which has the capacity to work more than 47,000 hours at high load in a variety of applications.

With 14 per cent higher power and 11 per cent increased peak torque, the new JD14 engine allows John Deere machines to work faster, lift more, and operate more efficiently than ever before.

Designed with serviceability and repair-ability in mind, the JD14 engine features Hydraulic Lash Adjusters and integrated oil and coolant paths.

Installed for enhanced reliability, the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster helps achieve a 20 per cent reduction in repair time by eliminating the need for valve lash maintenance and streamlining service processes.

With a new HPCR (High Pressure Common Rail) fuel system, the JD14 engine has improved fuel economy and efficiency over the previous engine.

Integrated harnesses increase the overall durability of the design, while better battery access streamlines maintenance.

The 410 P-Tier and 460 P-Tier models also come equipped with the industry-first Advanced Vision System, setting a new standard in performance.

This system expands an operator’s field of view and enhances operator jobsite awareness when in reverse.

The new range of articulated dump trucks deliver power and reliability with a new JD14 engine.

Digital cameras positioned on the front grill and right and left mirror bow help improve visibility to the machine’s sides, while the in-cab display monitors – positioned in the operator’s line of sight – offer a seamless, real-time perspective.

The user-friendly interface, paired with three eight-inch displays and a standard digital rear camera also help operators identify objects and view surroundings.

Using these features, operators gain improved spatial awareness with wider views, auto panning views with articulation, and enhanced clarity of the jobsite.

Matt Costello, Product Marketing Manager for John Deere says that with the introduction of the next-generation articulated dump trucks, John Deere is once again raising the bar for both performance and situational awareness on the job site.

“The JD14 engine and the innovative Advanced Vision System were developed with one goal in mind – enhancing operator productivity and confidence,” he says.

“These advancements not only improve the durability and efficiency of our machines, but also set a new standard in visibility, supporting our customers to work smarter, faster, and safer.”
