Auto Dump and Hill Hold

Overview: John Deere articulated dump trucks (ADT) now include auto dump and hill hold that eliminate repetitive cycling motions. Automatic dump control allows for the operator to press a button, and the machine will automatically dump the bin and control the other functions necessary.

Benefits:

• At the push of a lever, auto dump shifts the transmission to neutral, sets the service brakes, increases engine speed, and initiates body raise.

Quieter, Pressurized Cab with Adaptive Suspension System

Overview: Sealed, pressurized cab helps minimize fatigue. The Deere-designed cab is pressurized to keep things quiet, helping operators stay comfortable and alert, all shift long. Standard adaptive suspension system adjusts to the jobsite, stabilizing the ride and the cab, for operator comfort no matter the machine cycle, empty or loaded.

Benefits:

• 69-dB ultra-quiet Deere-designed cab
• Larger entryway allows roomier entrance and exit
• Fully adjustable air-ride seat makes smooth sailing out of any terrain
• Sealed and pressurized to keep out dust and noise

Additional Details:

• Streamlined mirror-bow design
• Reverse camera
• Auto-horn alerts
• Lighting features

Onboard Diagnostics with JDLink™

Overview: This suite of construction technology delivers Productivity Solutions to help you get more done, more efficiently. The in-base, five-year JDLink telematics subscription provides machine location, utilization data, and alerts to help you maximize productivity and efficiency. Other productivity solutions include grade-management options for multiple machine forms and payload weighing for wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks.

Benefits:

• Maximize uptime and lower costs with JDLink telematics.
• John Deere Connected Support™ for proactive machine health monitoring.
• Optional onboard weighing system for accurate payload values.

Additional Details:

• No more in-field weight calibrations

Smart Features for Productivity and Uptime

Overview: Smart features such as on-the-fly auto-differential lock, tire-pressure monitoring, and onboard payload weighing all boost productivity and uptime, while helping to keep operating costs down.

Benefits:

• Optional onboard weighing system arrives factory calibrated. Payload weight is displayed on the monitor during loading, with real-time load and tonnage data transmitted via JDLink™, access to accurate payload values removes the guesswork from daily production levels, increasing uptime and efficiency.
• Optional integrated tire-pressure/temperature-monitoring system helps boost tire life, productivity, and fuel efficiency. If pressure drops by 10 percent, a passive alarm appears on the monitor. Further decreases or overheating trigger an audible warning, and an email alert is sent via JDLink.

Standard Onboard Features for Ease of Operation

Overview: There are multiple owner and operator settings for features available in the monitor. Intuitive to use and easy to adjust, these features eliminate some of the operator inputs, allowing them to focus more on moving material efficiently. The best part is that all of these features are standard on John Deere articulated dump trucks (ADT).

Benefits:

• Rollover protection – Alerts the operator to a potential unsafe dump angle and stops the dump cycle. Set at 15 percent from the factory this setting can also be user-defined by accessing the owner setting in the monitor.
• Downhill dump protection – Automatically calculates the truck position to make sure the dump body doesn’t travel over-center when dumping downhill.
• Auto dump brake – With auto dump brake enabled and driveline assist active, the service brakes will latch when unloading the machine.
• Hill hold – When stopping on an uphill slope, the truck will automatically keep the service brakes applied while the operator moves their foot from the brake pedal to the throttle to keep the truck from rolling backward.
• Frame protection – If a dump is stopped before material is shed out of the bin, the truck will cushion the bin travel back to cradle to prevent a full bin from aggressively seating onto the frame.
• Shuttle shifting – The transmission may be shifted direction without the truck coming to a stop improving cycle times and eliminating operator abuse
• Descent control – When activated by the operator, this setting will help automatically control the truck speed when driving down a descent through automatic use of the transmission retarder. Check decal on window for speed and gear limitations.
• Dump body limits – The maximum dump height can be restricted from full dump when working around low overhead obstacles.
• Transmission warm-up – At truck start-up, the transmission will automatically begin a warm-up cycle. This improves not only ride and shift quality but also increases daily productivity by getting the transmission up to operating temperature quickly.
• Speed limits – Max speed limit can be set in the monitor to match jobsite conditions or site requirements, reducing complexity for the operator.
