John Deere has introduced its new 51-tonne 510 P-Tier excavator, which replaces the 470 P-Tier in the company’s lineup.
The new machine is designed to deliver exceptional performance, increased fuel efficiency and various levels of grade management technology.
Building on the foundation of the 470 P-Tier, the 510 P-Tier delivers lower operating costs and offers the optional SmartGrade grade control technology to maximize productivity.
With a 9-litre John Deere Power Systems engine, the 510 P-Tier delivers the same 367-hp and responsive performance as the 470 P-Tier’s larger 13.5-litre engine, while reducing fuel consumption, depending on application and operating speed.
The improved efficiency is thanks to, in part, a new electronic, on-demand cooling system that replaces traditional hydraulic fans, reducing engine load. The cooling package features 10 electric fans that optimize airflow, while maintaining adequate cooling performance.

“We maintained the same net horsepower to give operators the impressive performance they expect from a 51 metric ton machine,” said Justin Steger, Product Marketing Manager at John Deere.
“The additional value to the customer is found in lower ownership and operating costs with this machine.”
The 510 P-Tier is designed to reduce total cost of ownership, in part due to a 10 per cent decrease in maintenance costs and a 16 per cent drop in repair expenses, over the machine’s full lifecycle, compared to the 470 P-Tier.
Smart tech
Featuring an 8.37-metre maximum digging depth, the new 510 P-Tier offers the same grade management technology options as the 470 P-Tier. Operators can reach grade faster and achieve more points on grade, helping eliminate rework and additional jobsite inputs caused by over-excavation. Customers can choose from 2D Grade Guidance, 2D SmartGrade Ready Control or full 3D SmartGrade.
As well, the right, rear and left camera system with LED surround lighting comes standard and is integrated into the main monitor of the machine. The new John Deere 510 P-Tier excavator is designed for high productivity and maximum efficiency, offering reduced operating costs, all while delivering the reliability and technology solutions expected from John Deere.
