John Deere Elevates Efficiency With New 510 P-Tier Excavator

John Deere is excited to introduce the new 510 P-Tier Excavator model, replacing the 470 P-Tier, designed to deliver exceptional performance, increased fuel efficiency and various levels of grade management technology. Building on the trusted foundation of the 470 P-Tier, the 510 P-Tier provides lower operating costs and optional SmartGrade™ Grade Control technology to maximize productivity.

Optimized Fuel Efficiency and Engine Performance With a 9.0L John Deere Power Systems engine, the 510 P-Tier delivers the same net horsepower and responsive performance as the 470 P-Tier's larger 13.5L engine—while reducing fuel consumption, depending on application and operating speed. This efficiency gain is driven in part by a new electronic, on-demand cooling system that replaces traditional hydraulic fans, reducing engine load. The cooling package features ten electric fans (E-Fans) that optimize airflow, while maintaining adequate cooling performance.

"We maintained the same net horsepower to give operators the impressive performance they expect from a 51 metric ton machine," states Justin Steger, product marketing manager at John Deere. "The additional value to the customer is found in lower ownership and operating costs with this machine." The 510 P-Tier is designed to reduce total cost of ownership, in part due to a 10% decrease in maintenance costs and a 16% drop in repair expenses, over the machine's full lifecycle, compared to the 470 P-Tier.

Operators can reach grade faster and achieve more points on grade, helping eliminate costly rework and additional jobsite inputs caused by over-excavation. Customers can choose from 2D Grade Guidance, 2D SmartGrade™-Ready Control or full 3D SmartGrade.

Additionally, the right, rear and left camera system with LED surround lighting comes standard and is integrated into the main monitor of the machine. The new John Deere 510 P-Tier Excavator is designed for high productivity and maximum efficiency, offering reduced operating costs, all while delivering the reliability and technology solutions expected from John Deere.
