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.
