Overview

AutoLoad is exclusive to John Deere and is a major innovation in the earthmoving industry. It increases operator efficiency by allowing novice and experienced operators to be more consistent and productive while operating John Deere tractors and scrapers. With the touch of a button, operators maximize productivity and efficiency even if they have never operated tractors and scrapers.

Benefits

• Reduced labor cost
• Reduced training time to bring operators up to full productivity
• More consistent yards per cycle, per hour, per day
• Ease of operation, reduced operator fatigue
• More consistent cut profiles for a new or inexperienced operator
• More consistent fill profiles utilizing AutoLoad set point features
• Reduced requirements for support equipment such as compactors, graders, dozers
• Consistent productivity, regardless of operator experience, for the entire work day, and the entire work week

Overview

The Earthmoving Productivity System can determine the amount of volume being loaded into a scraper in real time and transfer that critical data back to personnel. Operators have more precise volume loads and decrease counting errors. This allows them to finish jobs faster, saving time and money. It features proven components that are utilized by other John Deere equipment. A 3D stereo camera mounted on the existing laser rack captures images of material getting loaded into the scraper. These images are sent through an image processing module (IPM) that determines the volume inside the scraper.

Benefits

• Measure yardage in real time to ensure a full scraper after every cut
• Benchmark operators for best asset utilization
• Transfer data directly to jobsite supervision using JDLink™ system
• Visualize what is being loaded into the scraper
• Calculate cost per cubic yardage in real time per load for each scraper system

The JD14 (13.6L/827-cu in.) engine from John Deere Power Systems has the power to handle heavy draft disks and rippers, hydraulically demanding air seeders and planters, and large transport loads like grain carts and slurry wagons. With a durable design and heavy-duty components, you can depend on the Final Tier 4 (FT4)/Stage V compliant JD14 engine, standard in the 291 to 471 engine kW (390 to 640 engine hp) 9 Series Tractors.

We developed the JD14 from the ground up, starting with stronger castings and bearings and tougher internal components, all designed to meet the high demands of field operations. We replaced the fuel injectors with a high-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system and eliminated the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to boost fuel efficiency and lower operation and maintenance costs. Integrated coolant and oil passages, along with a new belt-driven water pump, eliminate potential leak points and allow for a less-crowded engine compartment, improving serviceability and reducing debris accumulation.

In redesigning the engine, we also gave it:

• Hydraulic valve lash adjusters to maintain valve-lash settings during engine operation, reduce valve train noise and wear, and allow for greater fuel efficiency.
• A hydraulic fan drive for improved cooling capacity with no required maintenance.
• A new integrated wiring harness design featuring a modular layout for reduced vibration, greater reliability, and easier service and diagnostics.
• A rear gear train that integrates fully into the cast-iron block, reducing engine noise and improving the durability of the crankshaft damper.
• Combination sensors where possible, meaning fewer sensors, connectors, and wires.
• A powerful engine brake that allows operators to use the engine to control tractor and implement speeds while transporting or traveling downhill, reducing wear on the drivetrain brake components.

Visibility is more than just lighting. It’s mirrors where you need them, shades for the blinding late-fall and early-spring sun, wipers to help keep all the glass clear, and integrated camera capability. The 9 Series Tractors let you choose the visibility package that best suits your needs – Select, Premium, or Ultimate with 360-degree light-emitting diode (LED) lighting –so you and your operators can run with all-conditions confidence.
