Additional Notes
- All five articulated dump truck models in this specification set share an identical AdBlue (DEF) tank capacity of 48 liters, applied under normal use conditions across each configuration.
- The 48-liter figure represents the total fluid capacity of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reservoir, which is the tank that holds diesel exhaust fluid for injection into the exhaust stream to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
- The John Deere 260E and 310E articulated dump trucks are paired with the PSS 6090 engine, with specifications starting from 2018, while the 370E, 410E, and 460E models are paired with the 6135 engine, with specifications starting from 2015.
- The PSS 6090-powered 260E and 310E share the same 48-liter DEF capacity as the larger 6135-powered models, indicating a standardized SCR tank size across different engine families within this truck lineup.
- The 6135 engine appears across three payload classes, the 370E, 410E, and 460E, all carrying the same 48-liter DEF capacity despite differences in truck size and payload rating.
- A 48-liter DEF tank is a relatively large reservoir by construction equipment standards, consistent with the high-duty-cycle demands of articulated dump trucks operating in earthmoving and mining applications where refill intervals need to be extended.
