Generator Drives - Stationary & Export Applications
PowerTech M Output: 28 kW(38 hp) - 61 kW(82 hp)
PowerTech E Output: 75 kW(101 hp) - 287 kW(384 hp)

EASY MAINTENANCE John Deere design their engines to facilitate maintenance. The interchangeable wet sleeves enable better temperature control in the combustion chamber and optimise engine performance. They can be replaced on site without having to remove the engine, thus minimising the machine's downtime and maintenance costs. By using helical-cut gears, engine noise is reduced along with maintenance costs. The crankshaft bearings, camshafts and cylinder heads are also interchangeable.

RELIABILITY John Deere's sturdy, compact engine blocks are the basis of our products' longevity. But John Deere is also the guarantee of numerous technological assets, which themselves are synonymous with reliability. For example, the dynamically balanced moving parts, such as the track rod and crankshaft, make the engine quieter and limit vibrations, while the automatic belt tightener minimises maintenance costs and increases belt life. In addition, several functions, such as the thermostat box and the intake air collector, have been built into the cylinder head to limit the risk of leakage.

EASY INSTALLATION The engine is installed into the machine by using the engine block's front and side mounts. John Deere offer several options and variants in order to ensure their engines' perfect integration and guarantee easy access to the service points for the entire service life of the engine.

QUALITY John Deere's continuing research and development efforts are the key to the constant improvement of their engines. The commitment to technology excellence and a rigorous manufacturing process are the best guarantees of each John Deere engine's precision. Performance, fuel efficiency, reliability and easy installation, in keeping with environmental standards, are the key words that characterise their engines.

The simplest of the PowerTech family, these engines have 2-valve heads, fixed geometry turbochargers and mechanical fuel systems. PowerTech M engines (4.5L) are perfect for less demanding applications. their mechanical controls are simple to operate and maintain.

FIXED GEOMETRY TURBOCHARGER Fixed geometry turbochargers are sized for a specific power range and optimized to provide excellent performance across the entire torque curve. They are also designed to maximize fuel economy between the engine's rated speed and peak torque.

MECHANICAL UNIT PUMP (MUP) FUEL SYSTEM This system uses camshaft-driven MUPs, connected to the injectors by a short fuel line. The short fuel line between the unit pumps and the injectors helps to alleviate after-injection, secondary injection, and other injection abnormalities (2.9L).

MECHANICAL ROTARY PUMP The timing and fuel injection pressures are optimised to maximise performance and fuel economy at a given rated speed (4.5L).

2-VALVE CYLINDER HEAD Cross-flow (4.5L) and U-flow (2.9L) head design provides excellent breathing from a lower-cost 2-valve cylinder head.

TURBOCHARGED In turbocharged engines, the air is pre-compressed. Due to the higher pressure, more air is supplied into the combustion chamber, allowing a corresponding increase in fuel injection, which results in greater engine output.

COMPACT SIZE Mounting points are the same as previous engine models.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Self adjusting poly-vee fan drive - Forges steel connecting rods - Either-side service - 500 hour oil change - Glow plugs(2.9L)

These engines also have 2-valve heads and fixed geometry turbochargers, but introduce full-authority electronic controls and more sophisticated fuel delivery- high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel systems.

FIXED GEOMETRY TURBOCHARGER Fixed geometry turbochargers are sized for a specific power range and optimized to provide excellent performance across the entire torque curve. The are also designed to maximize fuel economy between the engine’s rated speed and peak torque.

HIGH-PRESSURE COMMON-RAIL (HPCR) AND ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) The HPCR fuel system provides variable common rail pressure, multiple injections, and higher injection pressures, up to 1,600 bar (23,000 psi). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection.

2-VALVE CYLINDER HEAD Cross-flow head design provides excellent breathing from a lower-cost 2-valve cylinder head.

4-VALVE CYLINDER HEAD The 4-valve cylinder head provides excellent airflow (9.0L).

TURBOCHARGED In turbocharged engines, the air is pre-compressed. Due to the higher pressure, more air is supplied into the combustion chamber, allowing a corresponding increase in fuel injection, which results in greater engine output (4.5L).

AIR-TO-AIR AFTERCOOLED This is the most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions. It enables an engine to meet emissions regulations with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs.

COMPACT SIZE Mounting points are the same as previous engine models.

JOHN DEERE ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS Electronic engine controls monitor critical engine functions, providing warning and/or shutdown to prevent costly engine repairs and eliminate the need for add-on governing components, all lowering total installed costs.
