July 2015 | EquipmentWorld.com 22 marketplace | continued USER-FRIENDLY UPDATES John Deere has updated three E-Series articulated dump trucks – the 370E, 410E and 460E – with a Tier 4 Final diesel engine and a new pressurized cab. The E-Series ADTs deliver 422, 443 and 481 horsepower, respectively, providing fast cycle times and boosting power and torque. The trucks have a purpose- built ZF transmission that includes eight forward and four reverse gears, as well as a high-capacity retarder for increased service brake life. The hauler axles are designed for heavy-duty applications and have on-the-fly differential locks and outboard planetar- ies, and each axle is indepen- dently pressure lubed and fil- tered. Internal wet disc brakes use independent cooling circuits. The new cab is ultra quiet and pressurized to elimi- nate dust and noise. Features include push-button start, low- effort push-button controls, an air-suspension heated high back seat and a tilt/telescop- ing steering wheel. E-Series models have an updated 7-inch high resolution monitor to access onboard diagnostics, digital gauges and vital system indicators, and two ergonomi- cally positioned sealed switch modules simplify operation. An optional premium radio includes Bluetooth auxil- iary input and satellite radio capability. Also, the operator can turn on the stairway lights with the push of a button from ground level. A standard integrated tire pressure and temperature monitoring sys- tem helps to maximize tire life and fuel efficiency, by alerting the operator if pressure drops by 10 percent. Further pressure decreases or overheating results in an audible warning as well as an email alert sent via JDLink. 370E 410E 460E
