John Deere has entered a master supply agreement with Mobile Track Solutions. As a part of the agreement, Mobile Track Solutions will provide John Deere-branded towed scrapers with a capacity of greater than 27 cubic yards through the John Deere construction and agriculture dealer networks.
Designed to be pulled by the John Deere 460E-II articulated dump truck or 9R Series scraper tractor, the addition of the greater than 27 cubic yard scraper solution will help boost efficiency in large-capacity earthmoving applications and increase machine versatility.
To further enhance job site performance, the John Deere large capacity scrapers will be available with technology solutions, including automation features, with plans to add new offerings such as an earthmoving productivity system in the future.
The system will be available through an in-cab monitor, as well as offboard in the JDLink dashboard, giving the operator visibility to the inside of the scraper as well as key production data. As a result, customers will be able to improve work site efficiency and more accurately bid, plan and invoice jobs.
Initially, the John Deere scrapers will be distributed through construction and agriculture equipment dealers in the U.S. and Canada, with start of sales to be announced at a later date.
