Dump truck 260 P-Tier

2-axle

Overview The 260 P‑Tier articulated dump truck (ADT) by John Deere is a heavy‑duty construction machine engineered for high payloads, efficient material movement and advanced operator ergonomics and telematics.

Key highlights

• Net power: 239 kW (321 hp) @ 1,900 rpm
• Rated payload: 24,192 kg (53,334 lb)
• Heaped capacity: 15.0 m³ (19.6 cu yd)

Auto dump and hill hold Automatic dump control and hill hold reduce repetitive operator actions and improve cycle efficiency.

• Auto dump: transmission shifts to neutral, service brakes set, engine speed increases and body raise is initiated at the push of a lever
• Hill hold: keeps service brakes applied when stopping uphill to prevent rollback during transition from brake to throttle

Cab and comfort Sealed, pressurized John Deere cab with standard adaptive suspension system for reduced noise and improved operator comfort.

• 69 dB ultra‑quiet cab
• Larger entry for easier access
• Fully adjustable air‑ride seat
• Sealed and pressurized to keep out dust and noise
• Mirror‑bow design for increased visibility and reduced vibration; walkthrough access to engine compartment
• Standard reverse camera (choice of display) for improved rear visibility
• Standard auto‑horn can sound on startup, movement or direction changes to aid MSHA compliance
• Front/rear work lights and optional high‑mounted LED lights; stairway lights are push‑button operated

Onboard diagnostics and connectivity (JDLink™) In‑base five‑year JDLink telematics subscription provides machine location, utilization data and alerts. Connectivity supports remote diagnostics, Expert Alerts and machine health monitoring to maximize uptime.

Smart features to boost productivity Smart features include on‑the‑fly auto‑differential lock, optional tire pressure/temperature monitoring, and optional onboard payload weighing to improve uptime, efficiency and lower operating costs.

• Optional factory‑calibrated onboard weighing displays payload on the monitor and transmits real‑time load/tonnage via JDLink
• Optional integrated tire pressure/temperature monitoring issues passive and audible alarms and transmits alerts via JDLink

Standard onboard operational aids Multiple operator and owner settings in the monitor simplify operation and improve safety and cycle times. Standard features include rollover protection alerts, downhill dump protection, auto dump brake, frame protection, shuttle shifting, descent control, dump body limits, transmission warm‑up and configurable speed limits.
