New knuckleboom loaders from Deere

June 14,
2010, Moline, IL – John Deere Construction & Forestry’s new Knuckleboom
Loaders are bulked up over their predecessors for improved durability and
performance. Productivity-increasing features include the fuel-efficient John
Deere 6068 Tier 2 PowerTech engine with a high-pressure common rail electronic
fuel injection system for improved cycle times, and new Pressure Compensated Load
Sensing (PCLS) hydraulic pumps with a dedicated swing pump to deliver
responsive, efficient hydraulic power to all functions.

Other
updates to the D-Series 335D and 437D Knuckleboom Loaders include:

• Heavy-duty
  swing bearing and pinion with taller gear teeth, reducing the torque load on
  each tooth for robust performance and unsurpassed reliability;
• New
  improved hydraulic manifold;
• New
  standard display monitor delivering the same information as earlier models plus
  engine diagnostic information;
• Auto
  idle, which shifts the engine into low idle when levers haven’t been operated
  for a few seconds, conserving fuel; and
• All
  John Deere cylinders.
