Deere & Company announced the unveiling of new engines — the JD14 and JD18 marine engines.
With the addition of these engines, John Deere will be able to offer marine customers heavier duty cycles* and a more comprehensive power range, from 298 up to 599 kW (400 up to 803 hp). Production is anticipated to begin in 2026.
“The vessels powered by our marine engines are part of hardworking, relentless commercial operations that need uncompromising power and reliability,” said Pierre Guyot, senior vice president of John Deere Power Systems. “With the JD14 and JD18 marine engines, we’re able to deliver high performance and excellent fuel efficiency while providing the rugged durability our marine engines have become known for in the industry. We’re thrilled to demonstrate our commitment to the marine industry through these new engines and to serve a new power class.”
The JD14 marine engine — an ideal fit for passenger vessels, pilot boats, and various workboat and pleasurecraft applications — is a 13.6L, 6-cylinder engine with an anticipated power range from 298 up to 599 kW (400 up to 803 hp). The JD14 marine engine will feature a reduced package size compared to the John Deere 13.5L 6135SFM85.
