John Deere's Kasey Kelly takes Construction Equipment senior editor Frank Raczon for a ride in Deere's 31-ton 310 P Tier ADT to show the company's Advanced Vision System.
There are now four next-generation P Tier models in Deere's ADT portfolio: 260, 310, 410, and 460.
The 410 P Tier and 460 P Tier are powered by a new JD14 engine, with improved fuel economy and efficiency over the previous engine. They also come equipped with the Advanced Vision System.

The system is designed to expand an operator’s field of view, and enhances operator job site awareness when in reverse. Digital cameras positioned on the front grill and right and left mirror bow help improve visibility to the machine’s sides, while the in-cab display monitors, positioned in the operator’s line of sight, offer a seamless, real-time perspective.
The user-friendly interface, paired with three 8-inch color displays, helps operators identify objects and view surroundings. The system comes standard with a digital rear camera. With these features, operators gain improved spatial awareness with wider views, auto panning views with articulation, and enhanced clarity of the job site.
