One of the biggest surprises at Agritechnica 2017 was Cummins unveiling of its new B6.7 engine — fully integrated into a structural driveline designed for agricultural tractor use.
The AS640, the latest Apache sprayer, is compact and agile. Its Cummins QSB4.5 Tier 4 Final engine delivers 163 horsepower and 466 pound-feet of torque. Weighing in at just under 17,000 pounds, this model provides increased fuel economy and reduced soil compaction.
Cummins Stage V B4.5, B6.7 and L9 engines will be integrated into Hardi’s self-propelled sprayer range to meet new EU emissions regulations coming into force during 2019 and 2020.
Cummins latest B6.7 and L9 Performance Series Stage V engines are now fully certified and in production at its Rocky Mount Engine Plant in North Carolina.
Agriculture customers with Cummins engines are now able to read key engine data, including prioritized fault codes, within minutes with the new Guidanz mobile app.
Cummins latest product range, the Performance Series, brings the power to do more with less to agricultural equipment operators and manufacturers. These newly designed products provide a second option for Tier 4 Final compliant Cummins power and encompass a new range of features designed to add even more value to its customers’ businesses.
In 1966, Versatile was the first company to mass-produce articulated 4WD tractors. In 1967, Versatile established a partnership with Cummins in which all Versatile equipment would be available with Cummins engines. In 2017, just a little over 50 years later, that partnership is still going strong with the renewal of the companies’ long-term engine supply agreement in 2015.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 emissions standards for off-road vehicles — phased in from 2008 through 2015 — introduced substantial reductions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). The highest level of regulations, referred to as Tier 4 Final for engines over 751 horsepower (560 kW) took effect Jan. 1, 2015. The regulations reduce particulate matter (PM) by 80% and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by 45% compared with Tier 2 engines produced in 2006.
In 2016, Equipment Technologies announced four new models in its Apache 30 Series self-propelled sprayers line. With Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final engines powering all four models, these sprayers boast greater horsepower while consuming less fuel and providing a steadier ride than previous models.
