John Deere expanded its Performance Tiering portfolio, adding articulated dump trucks (ADTs) to its equipment lineup.

The 410 and 460 ADTs, which are new to John Deere’s P-Tier, retain the same fuel efficiency, dump body and drive modes as the previous E-II models, the company says. Additional updates to the external styling and interior cab layout modernize the fleet, John Deere says, and the ADTs retain the productivity users are familiar with.

The new machines feature a range of standard onboard settings to help ease operation and increase efficiency during any application, John Deere adds.

“The P-Tier models were built with the operator in mind to support ease of use and operator comfort,” says Justin Steger, solutions marketing manager at John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Redesigning the layout of the components in the cab and grouping features together and packaging them in a meaningful way based on the application are a couple of examples of how we’re incorporating customer feedback and delivering further improvements.”

Helping to provide more customization, John Deere says customers can choose from two different trim levels, as well as add a variety of optional packages for enhanced operator comfort, cold weather conditions, debris management and maintenance and service capabilities

A variety of owner and operator settings that help ease operation and increase jobsite safety are standard on the P-Tier ADTs. Onboard features such as rollover protection, downhill dump protection, frame protection, hill hold, shuttle shifting and descent control help eliminate some of the operator inputs, enabling simplified operation.
