John Deere

John Deere’s K-Series 4WD Wheel Loaders

now feature three models that meet Final

Tier 4 emissions standards. The engine up-

date also allowed John Deere to offer several

machine enhancements to the 624K, 644K,

and 724K for added durability, productivity,

increased uptime, and lower daily operating

costs.

“Our goal when updating the K-Series

engines to Final Tier 4 was to integrate the

engine with minimal machine impact and

to maintain the performance features our

customers have come to know and expect

from John Deere wheel loaders,” said Chris

Cline, Deere product marketing manager for

utility wheel loaders. “The engine update also

allowed our engineers to implement several

customer-inspired solutions, including axle

improvements and several feature upgrades

to better meet the needs of today’s wheel

loader operator.”

The implementation of a John Deere Pow-

erTech EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV engine

delivers impressive torque to help maintain

good boom and bucket speed in and out

of the pile for heaped loads, even in wet or

hard-packed material. The new wheel loader

models weigh the same as their Interim Tier

4 predecessors with no increase in machine

dimensions.

The K-Series boasts several axle improve-

ments for increased durability in demanding

conditions, including standard axle cooling

and filtration, along with brake retractors and

adjustors on the Teammate V axles. Standard

axle cooling and filtration keeps axle oil and

its components cooler in hard breaking and

significant load-and carry applications.

For added protection, axle oil is filtered

by continuously cleaning wear particle and

debris out of the oil. Together, this system

provides increased engine reliability, durabil-

ity, and longevity. Finally, brake reactors and

automatic self-adjustors were added to elimi-

nate brake drag and to maintain a constant

brake running clearance with better compli-

ance and less heat.

General Machine Products

General Machine Products Co., Inc. (GMP) is

pleased to introduce the AirStream Cable

Blowing Machine to its line of fiber optic

cable placing equipment. Specifically de-

signed to safely install micro fiber cable into

pre-installed 5- to 18-mm OD micro duct, the

AirStream will place 2.5- to 11-mm OD cable

at speeds up to 80 meters per minute. This,

along with its low maintenance and high

reliability, makes the AirStream an excellent

value.

The AirStream incorporates a tabletop

design with easy-to-use ergonomic controls

for one-person operation. The unit uses a

double belt drive concept, backed by the

latest in servo control technology, to provide

a secure cable grip with precise torque and

speed control. The pushing force, up to 20 kg

maximum, can be adjusted to suit the cable

stiffness.

The AirStream uses compressed air to in-

stall micro fiber cable into micro duct in both

indoor and outdoor environments. Its electri-

cally powered, double belt drive system con-

trols the cable as it is propelled through the

micro duct. An electronic monitoring system

provides read-outs of speed and distance

and includes an emergency stop capability.

Compressors are available to accommo-

date GMP’s complete line of Cable Blowing

Machines. On-site training is available with

purchase, and rental and rent-to-own pro-

grams are available.

Other features include one-person

operation, tabletop design with ergonomic

controls, cable speed and distance monitor-

ing on a digital display, variable torque and

speed control, forward and reverse opera-

tion, easy cable threading, polycarbonate

safety guard over the double belt drive, and

reduced noise levels.

With the purchase of any GMP fiber cable

blowing machine, onsite training is provided

at no additional cost. Compressors are also

available to accommodate GMP’s complete

line of fiber cable blowing machines. Note:

the AirStream requires 110/120 Volt AC

service.
