6.8L FT4 engine in a 755K Crawler Loader
Overview
Proven technology and a building block approach based on a solid foundation of reliable John Deere engines has led to the integration of Final Tier 4 (FT4) engines in K-series crawler loaders. The PowerTech™ PVS 6.8L engine includes familiar components such as electronic injectors, 4-valve cylinder head, turbocharger, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and diesel particulate filter (DPF). The engine is fully integrated into the design of crawler loaders, allowing for optimized performance and maintenance.
Benefits
- More power – With the change to FT4, horsepower has increased to 155hp on the 655K and 194hp on the 755k.
- Eco mode – Standard Eco mode automatically adjusts engine power and transmission settings based on load while maintaining ground speed, optimizing fuel economy while maintaining performance.
- Fuel efficiency – Auto-idle reduces engine speed when the machine is not moving and no functions are activated, and auto shutdown automatically turns the engine off after an operator-determined period of inactivity.
