John Deere’s 510 P-Tier Excavator Feature 10 Electric Fans to Optimize Airflow
John Deere’s 510 P-Tier Excavator model, replacing the 470 P-Tier, is designed to deliver performance, increased fuel efficiency and various levels of grade management technology. Building on the foundation of the 470 P-Tier, the 510 P-Tier provides lower operating costs and optional SmartGrade Grade Control technology to maximize productivity.
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 10 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,” said Justin Steger, product marketing manager, 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 because of 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 new 510 P-Tier 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 jobsite inputs caused by over-excavation. Customers can choose from 2D Grade Guidance, 2D SmartGrade Ready Control or full 3D SmartGrade. Additionally, the right, rear and left camera system with LED surround lighting comes standard and is integrated into the main monitor of the machine.
