  • John Deere PowerTech Plus diesel engines feature replaceable wet-sleeve cylinder liners that resist wear and dissipate heat more evenly, for longer life.
  • Auto-idle automatically reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren’t in use, limiting fuel burn and engine wear.
  • Cool-on-demand hydraulic-driven, suction-type fan with remote-mounted drive, or standard hydraulically controlled reversing fan that can be set to designated intervals or activated manually as needed to back-blow cooler cores for cleaning.
