John Deere - 260 P-Tier Articulated Dump Truck

Standard Onboard Features to Ease Operation

The 260 P-Tier articulated dump truck features a suite of intuitive, operator-friendly systems designed to boost both safety and productivity. All operator and owner settings are easily accessible via the monitor, simplifying adjustments and enabling a stronger focus on moving materials efficiently.

Key Features

• Rollover Protection: Alerts the operator when a dump angle becomes unsafe and stops the dump cycle. Factory preset at 15%, but customisable via monitor settings.
• Downhill Dump Protection: Calculates truck position to prevent the dump body from travelling over-centre when dumping on inclines.
• Auto Dump Brake: Engages service brakes automatically during unloading when driveline assist is active, enhancing control and operator confidence.
• Hill Hold: Keeps service brakes applied on slopes, preventing rollback as the operator transitions from brake to throttle.
• Frame Protection: Cushions the dump body when stopped mid-dump, protecting the frame from undue impact if the bin is still full.
• Shuttle Shifting: Allows transmission direction changes without stopping the truck, improving cycle times and reducing wear.
• Descent Control: Automatically controls truck speed on descents using the transmission retarder. Reference window decals for specific speed and gear limits.
• Dump Body Limits: Restricts the maximum dump height for safe operation near overhead barriers.
• Transmission Warm-up: Initiates an automatic cycle at start-up, ensuring quick warm-up for improved ride, smooth shifting, and enhanced productivity.
• Speed Limits: Maximum speed can be set in the monitor to comply with site-specific requirements, minimising error and complexity for operators.
