Optimized fuel efficiency and engine performance
With a 9.0L John Deere Power Systems engine, the 510 P-Tier delivers the same net horsepower and responsive performance as the 470 P-Tier’s larger 13.5L engine, while reducing fuel consumption, depending on application and operating speed. This efficiency gain is driven in part by a new electronic, on-demand cooling system that replaces traditional hydraulic fans, reducing engine load. The cooling package features ten electric fans (E-Fans) that optimize airflow, while maintaining adequate cooling performance.
“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 510 P-Tier is designed to reduce total cost of ownership, in part due to a 10 percent decrease in maintenance costs and a 16 percent drop in repair expenses over the machine’s full lifecycle, compared to the 470 P-Tier.
Smart machine technology
Building on the John Deere commitment to intelligent solutions, the 510 P-Tier model offers the same grade management technology options as the 470 P-Tier. Operators can reach grade faster and achieve more points on grade, helping eliminate costly rework and additional job site inputs caused by over-excavation.
Customers can choose from 2D Grade Guidance, 2D SmartGrade Ready Control or full 3D SmartGrade systems. Additionally, the right, rear and left camera system with LED surround lighting come standard and is integrated into the main monitor of the machine.
The new John Deere 510 P-Tier excavator is designed for high productivity and maximum efficiency, offering reduced operating costs, all while delivering the reliability and technology solutions expected from John Deere.
