John Deere says that its latest haul truck offers high performance and productivity. Power comes from one of the firm’s own JD Series diesels, rated at 371kW and meeting the Tier 4 Final Emission requirements. Fuel consumption is said to be low despite the power of the engine, due in part to the sophisticated and efficient driveline that supplies power to all six wheels.
Featuring a heaped capacity of 25.2m3, the truck has a maximum payload of 41.8tonnes in its body, which is designed for optimum weight distribution as well as efficient dumping to minimise carryback. When empty, the truck weighs in at 31.5tonnes.
The truck features a high-visibility, high-comfort cab with good ergonomics to allow efficient operation throughout a whole working shift. Safety features are included as standard. The machine is also equipped with John Deere’s advanced telematics package which allows maintenance to be optimised and uptime to be maximised.
