Uptime-focused controls.
Improved John Deere model-based controls offer better
diagnostic capabilities, enabling future prognostics and the
ability to target the source of engine performance issues.

Designed for extreme durability.
The JD18 features a bedplate design, providing structural benefits for
extreme durability. It is built for 20,000 hours of operation with the
ability to be rebuilt two times.

Serviceability and repairability.
The JD18 engine was designed with ease of service and repair in mind.
Hydraulic lash adjusters offer a maintenance-free valve train,
eliminating the need to reset lash.

Fluid management.
The JD18 features new combustion technology which allows
John Deere to offer an engine in the 522 – 676 kW (700 – 907 hp)
power range without aftertreatment. Without the need for DEF,
the customer has one less fluid to manage. The high-pressure
common-rail (HPCR) fuel system allows the engine to deliver
optimized fluid consumption. And the Diamond Like Coating
(DLC) improves biodiesel compatibility and system robustness.
