New to the John Deere engine lineup, the JD4 provides up to 120 kW (161 hp) of power in a reduced package. This compact but mighty engine will be ideal for industrial and gen-set applications.
The JD4 features a 20% to 30% reduction in package size and a more than 100 kg (220 lb) reduction in weight compared to the John Deere 4.5L single turbo engine. This compact engine design offers improved visibility and fuel efficiency.
The JD4 also features a rear gear train that provides customers with low noise and higher PTO power. The engine has an extended single turbo range and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of maximum torque for improved high-load capacity and productivity.
