Features

Jet fuel capable

  • The John Deere jet fuel capable engines run on military, arctic, and aviation fuel, including Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5, and JP-8. If you need to switch back to diesel fuel, just fill up the tank and go.

4-valve cylinder head

  • Provides excellent airflow resulting in better transient response
  • Cross flow design

High pressure common rail fuel system

  • HPCR: Higher injection pressures, up to 1600 bar (23,000 PSI) variable injection pressure, variable timing control, multiple injections and controls the duration of injection

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)

  • Cools and mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx

Variable geometry turbocharger-VGT

  • Varies exhaust pressure based on load and speed to insure proper EGR flow, quicker transient response for exceptional block-loading, and best-in-class fuel economy

Air-to-air aftercooled

  • This is the most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions while maintaining low-speed torque, transient response time, and peak torque. It enables an engine to meet emissions regulations with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs

Compact size

  • Horsepower/displacement ratio is best-in-class
  • Lower installed cost
  • Mounting points for Tier 3/Stage III A engine models same as Tier 2/Stage II engine models

John Deere electronic engine controls

  • Monitors critical engine functions providing warning and/or shutdown to prevent costly engine repairs; eliminates need for add-on governing components; all lowering total installed costs. Snapshot diagnostic data that can be retrieved using commonly available diagnostic service tools
  • New common wiring interface connector for vehicles or available OEM instrumentation packages; new solid conduit and "T" connectors to reduce wiring stress, greater durability and improved appearance
  • Factory installed engine mounted ECU or remote mounted ECU, wiring harness and associated components
  • Industry standard SAE J1939 interface which communicates with other vehicle systems, eliminating redundant sensors and reducing vehicle installed cost

Additional features

  • Self adjusting poly-vee fan drive
  • Either-side service
  • 500-hour oil change
