K Series Deere loaders move to Tier 4 Final

John Deere’s K Series wheeled loaders have adopted Tier 4 Final emissions standards through the use of John Deere PowerTech engines. The company has also improved machine durability through the addition of standard axle cooling and filtration, the use of brake retractors and automatic adjusters to prevent wear and cut fuel consumption through brake drag. The K Series utility wheeled loaders also feature a standard five-speed lock-up torque converter transmission that is said to cut fuel use by 5-8%.

John Deere adopts Tier 4 for loader range
257 John Deere’s K Series wheeled loaders have adopted Tier 4 Final emissions standards through the use of John Deere PowerTech engines. The company has also improved machine durability through the addition of standard axle cooling and filtration, the use of brake retractors and automatic adjusters to prevent wear and cut fuel consumption through brake drag. The K Series utility wheeled loaders also feature a standard five-speed lock-up torque converter transmission that is said to cut fuel use by 5-8%.

The operator is looked after thanks to the adoption of a sound suppression kit and standard air conditioning. In addition, all John Deere wheeled loaders now come with the firm’s WorkSight telematic system as standard, delivering a suite of technologies aimed at increasing productivity and cutting downtime.

    January 6, 2017
    The SEM 922 grader is aimed at sales into the Chinese market and for use by contractors carrying out large earthworks projects. Equipped with all-wheel-drive, the SEM 922 is said to be able to achieve high tractive effort in poor underfoot conditions or on wet terrain. It also has a steering compensation system that provides more control when turning under full power, minimising tyre scrubbing at the front axle and also reducing damage to any freshly graded surface. Dual displacement motors are said to maxi

  • ZF chooses radial motor technology for its hydrostatic transmission
    January 6, 2017
    ZF has chosen a pair of radial hydraulic motors for use in its compact single-speed hydrostatic transmission, the 2HC85, which has been developed for compact wheeled loaders up to 100kW and 10.5tonnes operating weight. For high-torque start-up, the transmission sends oil to both motors and demands maximum stroke to travel from 0-16kph, before isolating one motor and then using 100% oil flow through the remaining motor to propel the machine to its maximum travel speed of 42kph. ZF said radial motors afford a
