John Deere’s new low emission engines

John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) says that its new engine range will be ready for the Stage V emissions requirements. This also includes the all-new 13.6litre engine, which was designed from a clean sheet. Key features of the new engines are high torque at low rpm, good fuel efficiency and a strong torque response. The Stage V compliant engines are also designed to deliver reliable performance at high altitudes and have capacities of 2.9litres, 4.5litres, 6.8litres, 9litres and 13.6litres, with power output

    Major manufacturers continue to develop new soil compactor models - Mike Woof reports. Innovations in machine design are being seen in the soil compaction sector from a number of major firms. As in other equipment sectors, new engine emissions legislation has played a huge role in driving the latest design changes. Europe, the US and Japan are rolling in the new Tier 4 Final/Stage IV legislation on noise and exhaust emissions which will be phased in across power output classes from the start of January 2014

    With the Tier 4 interim/Stage IIIB emissions requirements due next year, further upgrades will be required for all wheeled loaders sold in Europe and North America. In the mean time manufacturers are focussing on improvements that cut cycle times, boost productivity and reduce downtime for example. From Doosan comes the DL420 wheeled loader, which takes over from the previous DL400 and is aimed at use in a range of materials-handling work. The DL420 features a 4m3 bucket and is a 22.3tonne machine that
