John Deere Rolls Out Upgraded Engine and Advanced Vision System for Articulated Dump Trucks

MOLINE, IL — John Deere is enhancing its portfolio of 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.

Designed with serviceability and repairability in mind, the JD14 engine, featuring Hydraulic Lash Adjusters and integrated oil and coolant paths for enhanced reliability, helps achieve a 20% 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 design's durability, while better battery access streamlines maintenance.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
