Aggregate Equipment Guide
Designed and built in Davenport, Iowa, the 460E is the largest ADT in the John Deere lineup. The 481 hp machine delivers big-time productivity through a large dump body and fast cycle times. Exclusive features such as remote park-brake release, rollover protection, ground-level service, and auto horn help keep operators out of harm's way.
The quieter Deere-designed cab is sealed and pressurized to keep out dust and noise and the 460E employs a heavy-duty fabricated frame and high-alloy steel dump body, ensuring best-in-class payload-to-weight ratios. It also comes loaded with an EPA Final Tier IV (FT4)/EU Stage IV John Deere Power Tech diesel engine.
The 460E is equipped with a purpose built ZF transmission that includes a high capacity retarder, eight forward gears and four reverse gears. In addition, the John Deere hauler axles are designed for heavy-duty applications and include on-the-fly differential locks, outboard planetaries and each axle is independently pressure lubed and filtered.
The 460E's axles use internal wet disc brakes that utilize independent cooling circuits.
