John Deere's New Equipment

What happens here

The first machine highlighted is the John Deere 850 X-Tier E-Drive Dozer. A John Deere representative, Cath, explains that this is their first dozer featuring a dual-path electric drive system. This technology utilizes a diesel engine connected to a generator, which powers inverters and two electric drive motors. These motors are directly connected to the final drives, allowing independent control of torque on each drive, providing increased power management and performance similar to a 'Tesla with the power of a Cummins.' The cab features an updated display strategy with surround view cameras and the most screens in the industry, giving operators essential information where and when they need it.

Goal: Learn about the innovative dual-path electric drive and advanced cab features of the 850 X-Tier Dozer.

Tools and materials

  • Diesel Engine — Powers the generator in the hybrid system
  • Electric Drive Motors — Provide power and torque to the final drives
  • Generator — Generates electricity from the diesel engine
  • Inverters — Convert power for electric motors

right now. All right, guys. We are in the John Deere booth and we are going to be looking at all things new by John Deere. And I'm here with Cat and yes, she does work at John Deere. Um, okay. Okay. So, Cat, tell me what is new about this machine that we should know. Yeah, so this is our 850 XT e drive machine and it's a dual path electric drive machine. So, it's the first John Deere dozer that we've had with electric drive technology. Dual path electric drive. Can you tell me what that actually means? Yeah. Yep. So, it's a diesel hybrid diesel electric technology. So, we start with our diesel engine. Okay. We go to generator, we go to inverters, and then we have two electric drive motors that are connected to our final drives that move the machine. Why would we want an electric drive over a standard hydraulic drive? That's a great question. So, electric drive really gives us the increased power management and performance of the machine. So, we can actually have by having the two, we can actually control the torque independently on each of the drives. Oh, so it's kind of like having the torque of a Tesla but the power of a Cumins. Put those two things together and you got the best of both worlds. Yes, you get the best of both worlds. Yeah, it's awesome. That makes sense. And so this that's by John Deere. Now this is this machine right here. Is this coming to production? Is it in production? When's it? It is not in production yet. Um so we're excited in the next year or so we'll be able to communicate more on timing for this machine. Okay. And which what is the model number and what? This is 850. Yep. So the it's 225 horsepower machine. Is there going to be any other John Deere equipment that uses this kind of hybrid technology that we similar to the 944 X tier? So that 944K that we've had with that technology, it's very similar to that type of technology. Perfect. Okay. So, what else should we know about this unit, Kath? Yeah. So, this one has an updated display strategy with surround view cameras and the most amount of screens of any dozer in the industry, giving our operators what they need, where they need it, and when they need it. Perfect. All right. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you so much. Have a good one.
