Cummins Every Time

The world is full of uncertainties, from the weather to crop prices. But you can always count on Cummins QSC-powered equipment to pull you through. Quieter operation (up to 50% less noise) significantly improves operator comfort. While the heavy-duty design of the engine block and components add reliability and durability you can count on every day, acre after acre.

Ratings range from 215-340 hp (160-254 kW), with a High-Pressure Common-Rail (HPCR) fuel system for strong performance at every rpm. A low-maintenance filter assembly is just one of many standard features that minimize downtime for maintenance. There are numerous options available for you to customize on the QSC.

Getting the right combination to match your equipment, operating environment and workloads has never been easier. Cummins PowerMatch and Advisor are ready to provide expert assistance with your spec'ing and installation process.

Every QSC engine is covered by Cummins three-step warranty, one of the most comprehensive and simplest in the industry.

Cummins QSC engines are built on one of the most successful engine block designs in the world. Add to that a free-breathing 24-valve cylinder head, a high-pressure fuel system and robust electronic controls, and you've got a highly customizable, highly durable, highly fuel-efficient powerplant with one of the highest power-to-weight ratios and lowest cost of operation of any engine in its class.

Plus, the QSC has ample power to drive all your attachments from chippers and spreaders to swathers and balers.

The QSC has advanced electronics, higher torque, better throttle response, shorter service times, longer maintenance intervals, increased fuel economy and up to 50% less noise. Standard features include:

Full-Authority Electronic Controls - Optimize engine performance and provide seamless integration with other components, advanced diagnostics, plus a complete set of programming options.
Stiffer Block Design - For reduced noise and vibration. Fluid circuits are integrated, replacing hoses and eliminating potential leak points.
Wastegated HX40 Turbocharger - Wastegated design optimizes operation across the torque curve with improved response.
Low-Tension Belt Arrangement - This simplified design provides maximum power output through the accessory drive.
Ni-Resist Piston Inserts - Give exceptional oil control.
Mid-Stop Cylinder Liners - Reduce cavitation and improve rebuildability.

There are many options available, so every QSC can be customized to a specific piece of equipment or job. These include noise reduction packages with up to 3 dBA additional noise reduction, and more:

12- or 24- volt electrical capacity
Flywheels
Flywheel housings
Starters
Dipsticks
Alternators
Oil pans
Air handling
Cooling system
Fan drive
Accessory drive mounting
REPTO (Rear Engine Power Take-Off)

Maintenance Intervals.

QSC engines are designed to run up to 500 hours between scheduled maintenance stops. The filter incorporates an integral water separator and water-in-fuel sensor to help protect against damage from water contamination.

Plus, Cummins, Fleetguard and Valvoline have teamed up to develop extended service filters and lubricants that let you go beyond the 500-hour standard oil change interval, with reduced downtime and cleaner operation. Because crops that need harvesting won't wait.

For complete maintenance information, please consult your Owner's Manual or Operations and Maintenance Manual.

The base warranty includes full coverage on every QSB engine and branded components, including electrics such as starters and alternators for unlimited hours during the first year of operation, extending through 2 years or 2,000 hours (whichever comes first). The base warranty also includes 3-year/10,000-hour standard protection on major components.

Three simple steps explain everything you need to know:

Step One: Full coverage on all Cummins industrial engines and branded components with unlimited hours during the first year of operation. This includes Cummins branded electrics such as alternators, starters, etc.

Step Two: Full coverage is extended for the second year, up to 2,000 hours of operation. Total hours are cumulative from the time the engine goes in service.

Step Three: Major components coverage including block, crankshaft, camshaft and rods on all products for the third year or up to 10,000 hours of operation.

Extended coverage is available with our Encompass Protection Plans with the flexibility to meet the needs of your agriculture operation. Cummins Encompass has you covered, around the clock and around the globe.

Getting every installation right - the first time - is as important to Cummins as it is to you. PowerMatch and Advisor help ensure that we get it right, every time.

PowerMatch.

Cummins partners with OEM engineers to test and match the power of the QSC engine to specific farm equipment, terrain and weather conditions. We use our advanced electronics to shape power curves and ratings to match the jobs your equipment will be doing, taking into account the working environment, load factors and operating modes. Then we optimize the engine's performance with other vehicle components, using Advisor.

Advisor.

Advisor software builds a virtual model to make sure every system (air, intake, exhaust, cooling) is integrated for optimum performance. It takes into account everything from load factors to operating climates to duty cycles - then identifies systems or components that could negatively impact reliability - listing alternatives that will deliver the performance you expect the first time - every time.
