John Deere Expands Attachment Lineup
BY AsphaltPro Staff

John Deere, Moline, Illinois, expands on its established lineup of attachments with the new CP18E, CP24E and CP30E cold planers. These attachments are designed to help operators who work on street repairs, leveling uneven pavement, texturing pavement and cleaning around larger milling machines. They are compatible with John Deere skid steer and compact track loaders, as well as equipment offered by competitors.
The CP18E, CP24E and CP30E cold planer attachments are equipped with a heavy-duty planetary drive system that delivers high torque speed. The planetary drive system is a wheel drive, which allows the operator to remove the side plate when the attachment works next to a curb. Through complete in-cab controls, operators can maneuver the cold planer depth, tilt and side shift to increase overall productivity. With rear spoil clearance that reaches up to 9 inches, operators can be more productive on the job by minimizing material that is pushed back into the cut.
A visible case pressure reservoir was added to the three models to provide a visual indicator of high case pressure. If there is high case pressure, the reservoir will fill with oil and will give an indication to shut down the system. Additionally, the case pressure reservoir helps reduce contamination to the machine’s hydraulic system to maintain machine health and longevity overall. The high-capacity gearbox on the three cold planers includes a drain-and-refill plug for maintenance fills, using only a funnel to keep daily operating costs low. Additionally, oil will need to be replaced after 1,000 hours or on an annual basis. Operators should reference the operator’s manual for appropriate procedure and maintenance requirements.
