John Deere is unveiling its largest ADT to date thanks to help from a real-world tractor operator, according to a press release.

The 460E ADT will be the first of Deere's E-Series ADTs and is due for release in 2012. The machine will include a number of features that will make heavy loading extremely intuitive and will help to increase productivity for the farmers that use it. When prompted, the tractor operator that initiated the change let John Deere know that they could make their products easier to use and offered succinct ways to make it happen.

"An on-board scale lets the operators of both the ADT and loading tool know when the dump body is loaded to capacity by the use of an external light bar that is visible to both operators," said Mark Oliver, ADT product marketing manager for John Deere Construction and Forestry."This system lets them know the instant they have a full load, eliminating guesswork and saving time."

As always, John Deere is making Ag life that much easier for the millions of customers that rely on their products around the world.
