picture of QSK19

Every QSK19 engine is a powerful example of Cummins Quantum System technology at work, with state-of-the-art electronics capable of self-diagnostics, prognostics and more. These powerful engines are designed to give self-propelled forage harvesters (SPFH) and other types of high power agricultural machines maximum performance with minimum maintenance.

With a long established reputation for strength and durability in the toughest mining applications, you can be sure that the QSK19 offers you the dependability you need for time critical harvesting.

Available in a range of ratings from 755 to 800 hp (563-597 kW), these heavy-duty diesels meet Tier 2 emissions standards without compromise. The QSK19 incorporates Cummins Modular Common Rail Fuel System to enable cleaner, quieter and more fuel efficient combustion.  A low maintenance two-stage oil filter is just one of the many standard features that minimize downtime. Cummins PowerMatch and Advisor are ready to provide expert assistance with your spec'ing and installation process.

Every QSK19 engine is covered by Cummins three-step warranty, one of the most comprehensive and simplest plans in the industry.

The QSK19 high-pressure injection system and electronic controls ensure clean, powerful and efficient operation every time. The ECM continuously monitors data from strategically placed sensors within the engine, optimizing the fuel-to-air mixture for maximum combustion. Fuel is injected at pressures exceeding 25,000 psi. This results in better utilization of fuel with fewer emissions. Getting more energy out of every drop of diesel fuel also results in more power.

This is an engine that goes beyond meeting government standards. The latest version of this proven performer takes technology to the next level, meeting Tier 2 emissions standards without compromise. Fuel economy, horsepower, torque rise, transient response and service intervals match the high levels achieved by the Tier 1 models.

And everything that makes this a great engine for original equipment also makes it a great engine for repowers.

Cummins QSK19 engines come with these standard features so you get more power, economy and life out of every one of them.

  • Extra-Wide Gear Train - Extra-wide gear train is quieter, longer-lasting and capable of handling high loads of injector pressures with ease
  • Single-Stage Holset Turbocharger - Lower intake air temperatures provide increased air density, resulting in more power and lower emissions
  • Large Fan Drive and Bearings - Allow increased fan size for improved cooling capacity
  • Full-Authority Electronic Controls - Programmable controls optimize combustion based on engine load and atmospheric conditions. They also provide advanced monitoring, diagnostic, prognostic and reporting capabilities, with integrated engine protection features
  • Two-Stage Oil Filter - Combination full-flow and bypass oil filter reduces maintenance costs as it extends service intervals
  • Longer-Lasting Intake and Exhaust Valves - Valve and seat are machined out of select materials for longer life. Rotators on both intake and exhaust ensure uniform wear
  • Precision-Honed Cylinder Liners - Precise liner machining with superior metal technology creates exceptional surface smoothness and durability
  • Articulated Steel Pistons - 30% longer life, increased reliability and improved combustion result from the two-piece piston design
  • High-Durability Camshaft - Microfinishing makes it last twice as long as previous designs. Improved contact between the crosshead and rocker lever reduces wear and improves durability
  • 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.

    Noise reduction packages are available with up to 3 dBA additional noise reduction.

    There are over 200 options available, so every QSC can be customized to a specific piece of equipment or job. These include:

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

    Minimum maintenance has been built into every QSK19 engine. For example: the articulated pistons last 30% longer until the first rebuild and give an additional 30% longer life after it. Even the oil seals have been engineered so they're never exposed to contaminants - for virtually leak-free operation.

    Maintenance Intervals.
    Cummins QSK19 engines require an oil change every 250 hours.
    For complete maintenance information, please consult your Owner's Manual or Operations and Maintenance Manual.

    The base warranty includes full coverage on every QSK19 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 construction operation.  Cummins Encompass has you covered, around the clock and around the globe. 

    For complete warranty details, please see the US and Canadian warranty brochure (3381321) or International warranty brochure (3381322).

    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 QSK19 engine to specific equipment models and applications. 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, ambient temperatures 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.
