The 700L PL40 John Deere pipe layer rounds out the company’s lineup with a lift capacity of 40,000 pounds. The purpose-built model accepts a variety of sidebooms.
Powered by a 135-horsepower John Deere PowerTech PVS 6068 engine, the 700L PL40 pipe layer has more hydraulic power compared to the base machine. This improves overall engine performance and increases peak torque in the pipelayer-ready model. The closed-center, load-sensing hydraulic system includes a variable-displacement pump, and the amplified flow rates boost hydraulic performance.
Controls, including Eco Mode, Auto Idle and Auto Shutdown, can be enabled through the sealed switch module. The Eco Mode feature optimizes fuel economy by seamlessly adjusting the engine speed to meet the load. The Auto Idle and Auto Shutdown timers lower fuel costs and save warranty hours during inactivity or low use.
