John Deere introduced the 510 P-Tier excavator model, replacing the 470 P-Tier.
The new excavator sports a 9-liter John Deere Power Systems engine, delivering the same net horsepower and responsive performance as the 470 P-Tier with a 13.5-liter engine. Deere adds that the 510 P-Tier offers reduced fuel consumption compared to its predecessor, depending on application and operating speed.
One of the key updates is a new electronic, on-demand cooling system designed to replace traditional hydraulic fans, aiming to reduce engine load and improve efficiency. The cooling package features electric fans that adjust airflow as needed while maintaining adequate cooling.
“We maintained the same net horsepower to give operators the impressive performance they expect from a 51 metric ton machine,” says Justin Steger, product marketing manager at John Deere. “The additional value to the customer is found in lower ownership and operating costs with this machine.”
The company estimates a 10 percent decrease in maintenance costs and a 16 percent reduction in repair expenses compared to the 470 P-Tier.
The 510 P-Tier continues to offer the same grade management technology as its predecessor, which is intended to help reduce costly rework and additional jobsite inputs.
