2023 Brandt Articulated Dump Trucks 260E
DESIGNED BY DEERE. REFINED BY YOU.Designed and manufactured with state-of-the-art tools and techniques by a quality-conscious workforce at our facility E-Series ADTs are exceptionally reliable and built with safety in mind. To design the new 260E Articulated Dump Truck, we spoke with the experts- equipment owners and operators just like you. Through Customer Advocate Groups, they told us exactly what they need in an ADT. We listened and responded with ground-level serviceability. A quieter, pressurized Deere-designed cab. Standard adaptive suspension. Auto dump and hill hold that eliminate repetitve cycling motions. Onboard diagnostics that help keep the operator in the know and on the go. And smart features such as auto dump, on-the-fly auto-differential lock, tire-pressure monitoring, and onboard payload weighing. All to boost productivity and uptime, while helping to keep operating costs down.
Features may include:
Key Features- EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV engine
- Best-in-class transmission retarder
- Redesigned sound-supressed cab
Productivity- Inter-axle Differential Lock (IDL) transmits 50 percent of available torque to the forward axle and 50 percent to the two rear axles, simplifying operation. Or it can be engaged on-the-fly while slipping, for smoother navigation of tough jobsites.
- Purpose-built transmission includes eight forward and four reverse gears to speed cycles and expand working range across a wide range of jobsite conditions.
Safety- A Deere exclusive, all daily checks and periodic service are accessible from ground level, including refilling both fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
- When enabled through the monitor, the operator can limit the percentage the rear chassis is off-level when unloading.
Serviceability- Industry-leading transmission retarder confidently slows the truck. Outboard wet-disc brakes in all three axles are at the ready when service brakes are needed.
- Greaseless pins and bushings are used throughout except in the articulation joint and oscillation area, so only eight grease fittings, need weekly attention.
- ntegrated tire-pressure/temperature-monitoring system comes standards. If pressure drops by 10 percent, a passive alarm appears on the monitor.
- Ash-service intervals for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are condition based, meaning the machine will notify the operator before service is required.
