QSX Image

The QSX is designed to deliver dependable, hardworking performance without compromise, every acre and every day. A unique dual overhead cam design optimizes combustion efficiency and pulling power of your 4WD tractor or scraper tractor, so you can easily handle the biggest rippers and tillage tools.

Available in a range of ratings from 350-635 hp (261-474 kW), the QSX not only meets Tier 2 emissions standards, its advanced design can reach Tier 3 requirements as well, with minimal changes. Maintenance has been consolidated so your QSX has less downtime, with extended service intervals. And the Cummins Advisor makes installing the right standard features and operating parameters easy every time.

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

*Restricted rating.
**Indicates continuous rating.

The QSX high-pressure injection system and electronic controls ensure clean, powerful and efficient operation every time. Fuel is injected at pressures of up to 30,000 psi, for cleaner, more complete combustion.

The QSX torque lets you pull heavy loads up hillsides and power through tough spots without downshifting. On a scraper tractor, the QSX keeps on lugging even as the scraper fills - to keep you moving fast in tough scraping conditions.

The wastegated turbo delivers quick throttle response, yet the QSX still delivers low fuel consumption, even at maximum power (20.28 hp-hrs/gallon, according to one tractor manufacturer).

The Intebrake™ system delivers up to 500 engine braking horsepower, giving extra control to operators as it reduces brake wear and maintenance costs.

Cummins QSX has standard features that other diesel engines can't even offer as options.
  • Dual Overhead Cams - The first drives the high-pressure fuel system, the second operates the intake and exhaust valves.
  • Wastegated Turbo - Maximizes performance at every rpm.
  • High-Pressure Fuel System - Up to 30,000 psi for cleaner, more complete combustion.
  • Heavy-Duty Rings, Pistons, Bearings - Built to last in excess of 21,000 hours (35% load factor) with high-strength alloys.
  • Engine Protection - Early detection system minimizes potential damage, downtime.
  • Advanced Fleetguard® ES Oil and Fuel Filters - 500-hour service intervals.
  • Water-In-Fuel Sensor - Integrated into the fuel filter, alerts the operator when water-contaminated fuel is present, so preventive measures can be taken before damage occurs.
  • Rear Engine Power Take-Off (REPTO) - Delivers up to 400 hp. Available for SAE A, B and C spline types.
  • Cummins QuickCheck 5100 - The next generation QuickCheck 5100 combines the power of a portable computer and proprietary engine-monitoring software in one handheld unit. Users can quickly and easily capture engine data, compile summary reports and more - from any diesel engine with standard J1587 or J1939 data links. All in a shop-rugged, weather-resistant case.

Maintenance Intervals.

Oil drain intervals for the Cummins QSX are set for 625 hours or six months. Filters are vertically mounted for easy access and rapid changing, with no messy spills. Polyvee belts have auto-tensioners, so they never need adjusting. Plus, with the QSX you won't need to adjust the overhead until 3,000 hours.

Dipsticks and oil fills are available from both sides of the engine. And there are three drain ports available, so you never have to worry about having access to maintenance points.

 
For complete maintenance information, please consult your Owner's Manual or Operations and Maintenance Manual.
The base warranty includes full coverage on every QSX 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 QSX 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.

The QSX lets you set up multiple torque curves that are switchable. You can program an alternate high idle speed and make it operator-controlled.
