2-valve cylinder head
  • Cross-flow head design provides excellent breathing from a lower-cost 2-valve cylinder head
High-pressure common-rail (HPCR) and engine control unit (ECU)
  • The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure, multiple injections, and higher injection pressures, up to 1600 bar (23,000 PSI). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of the injection
Fixed geometry turbocharger
  • Fixed geometry turbochargers are precisely matched to the power level and application
Air-to-air aftercooled
  • This is the most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions while maintaining low-speed torque, transient response time, and peak torque. It enables an engine to meet emissions regulations with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs
Multiple injection strategy
  • The new HPCR fuel system and engine control unit (ECU) allow for multiple fuel injections. The number of fuel injections, based on speed and load, help contribute to lower combustion temperatures, which reduce the formation of NOx and particulates. The multiple injection strategy also provides an added benefit of noise reduction
John Deere electronic engine controls
  • Electronic engine controls monitor critical engine functions, providing warning and/or shutdown to prevent costly repairs and eliminate the need for add-on governing components, all lowering total installed costs.
Compact size
  • Mounting points are the same as Tier 2/Stage II engine models
Engine performance
  • Block loading capability provided with standard electronic governor control
Additional features
  • Self-adjusting poly-vee fan drive
  • Forged-steel connecting rods
  • Replaceable wet-type cylinder liners
  • Either-side service
  • 500-hour oil change
