ENGINE & SYSTEMS

in our sticks.

Now this is cool: Deere’s cooling system
features a new airfoil fan that gives you
13 percent more cooling performance
while using 4 percent less horsepower.
The new fan also lowers noise level by
a significant 4 d(B)a.

The cooling system’s radiator is completely
welded from the tube to the header joint,
with a “square-wave” fin design to increase
heat transfer by 18 percent.

Deere PowerTech engines retain all the features
you’ve come to expect from Deere, and more.
Our wet-sleeve, individually replaceable cylinder
liners are admired throughout the industry for
their ability to eliminate hot spots.

Precision digging or laying pipe in just the right place shouldn’t be taxing. It should be

smooth and easy. Jerky controls, uneven bursts of power, or fatigue won’t be parts of your

workday due to Deere’s exclusive Powerwize II engine/hydraulic management system.

Powerwize technology lets the excavator arm be your “bionic” arm — an extension of your

own, only with a lot more muscle. It lets operators do precise work with a minimum of

effort — 10 percent less lever effort to be exact. There’s only one hydraulic mode, so just

select the desired engine mode, adjust the engine speed knob, and “go.”

We’ve increased hydraulic flow and

pressure to give you more

power and precision

at the end of the

boom. The new

design is very

“attachment

friendly.”

Each Deere engine has an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that
serves as an electronic “brain.” By regulating the fuel-injection
process, the ECU ensures smooth, safe effort without wasting
fuel. It also acts like a safety net by decreasing engine power
and speed automatically if key readings like fuel pressure or
temperature drift into the red zone.

OPERATOR STATION

Windows to your world

Let the sunshine in — and the fresh air flow
freely — with the tinted sunroof hatch.

The windshield wiper cleans 25 percent
more glass for an even clearer look.
Then it disappears from view.

All the controls are within easy reach, and their

arrangement makes perfect ergonomic sense.

No stretching. No fatigue.

Adjustable vents are everywhere. You’ll
never have trouble setting and maintain­ing a comfortable temperature. All shift,
all week.

Seeing is indeed believing. Sit in the cab and take a good look around. Deere’s designed an operator’s

station with the ultimate view. There’s 28 percent more glass to look through, so you can see every

angle of the task at hand. Or at arm. Or at bucket. You get the picture.

And because your world can consist of tough 12-hour-days, we’ve made the cab a pleasant and

comfortable place to work. The new seat features adjustable lumbar support like you’d expect to

find in a best-in-class luxury car, and a “blend-air” automatic climate-control system keeps the

temperature just right. You might even start feeling a little self-indulgent when you see the built-in

beverage cooler, the “big-gulp” cupholder, and the 12-volt cellular phone jack. So, go ahead and

live a little. Why should work always have to feel like work?

Even the biggest coffee mugs fit
the new cupholder. We challenge
any convenience store to produce
something too big.
