Articulated dump truck

John Deere’s 460E ATD is the company’s largest articulated dump truck and features a Deere PowerTech 13.5L IT4 engine with 481 net hp. A purpose-built ZF transmission includes a high-capacity retarder, eight forward gears and four reverse gears. The new Deere hauler axles are designed for heavy-duty applications and include differential locks, outboard planetaries, and each axle is independently pressure-lubed and filtered. The axles use internal wet disc brakes that utilize independent cooling circuits. Allowing the differential lock system to run in automatic mode simplifies operation for new operators. An onboard weighing system allows contractors to view the weight and the number of loads carried via JDLink, improving project management and equipment utilization. www.deere.com/wps/dcom/en_US/regional_home.page
