John Deere has added a new PowerTech E™ 6068 Tier 3 engine to its 710J Backhoe, improving both emissions compliance and power.
The 710J still provides the greatest dig depth in the industry _ reaching up to 22 feet, 4 inches when extended. And now a PowerTech E™ 6068 Tier 3 engine that will come standard on 710J backhoes beginning in January will provide a slight increase in horsepower and the same heavy-duty six-cylinder torque as on the previous Tier 2 710Js.
The new 710Js feature net horsepower of 126 hp, compared to the 123 hp on the Tier 2 engines, along with a host of other improvements, Tyler said. For example, the high pressure common rail fuel system provides higher injection pressures, variable timing, and precise control of fuel injection, giving it highly efficient combustion.
Deere has also ensured that daily servicing duties are easy to accomplish.
In addition, exterior upgrades to the 710J include a new extended grill frame that comes standard and a side louver that improves airflow to the engine. |
