E Series models have new cabs, chassis and axles
257 John Deere’s Construction and Forestry division has added to its articulated dump truck (ADT) range, with the introduction at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG of the 260E and 310E trucks. The E Series models have updated styling, new cabs, upgraded chassis and more robust axles.

The 260E has a 23.5 tonne payload, while the 310E offers a 28 tonne load-carrying capability. Both trucks are powered by Deere 9.0 litre Tier 4 Final engines driving through ZF eight-speed transmissions, that include a high-capacity retarder. This retarder is said to provide 125% more braking force than previous models. A revised automatic differential lock offers both cross-axle and inter-axle locking, for maximum traction in difficult terrain.

The new cab promises a 50% reduction in noise levels, thanks to improved floor mats and soundproofing materials. Auto-shutdown is included, to stop the engine after a pre-set period of inactivity. The trucks also feature auto dump, descent control, shuttle shifting, hill hold and load assist functions.
