John Deere equips ADTs with engine upgrade and Advanced Vision System

John Deere is packing more power into its articulated dump trucks with the introduction of next-generation models, now featured across 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 and come equipped with the industry-first Advanced Vision System, setting a new standard in performance.

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

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

Designed with serviceability in mind, the JD14 engine, featuring hydraulic lash adjusters and integrated oil and coolant paths for enhanced reliability, 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 high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system, the JD14 engine has improved fuel economy and efficiency compared to the previous engine.  As well, integrated harnesses increase the overall design’s durability, while better battery access streamlines maintenance.

Advanced Vision System

Building upon its advanced object detection and vision solutions, the new ADTs are equipped with the Advanced Vision System. This system expands the operator’s field of view and enhances operator jobsite awareness when in reverse.

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 20-cm displays, helps operators identify objects and view surroundings. The system comes standard with a digital rear camera, with these features, operators gain improved spatial awareness with wider views, auto panning views with articulation and enhanced clarity of the jobsite.
