Puckett Equipment’s Asphalt Pavers
Develops Customized Engine
for Puckett Equipment’s Asphalt Pavers
The Puckett 580 asphalt paver with customized 3TNV88C-DYEM YANMAR Tier 4F engine from YANMAR Mastry Engine Center

ANMAR Mastry Engine Center
has developed a highly custom-
ized engine for the latest Puckett
Equipment asphalt pavers.
Florida-based system integrators Mas-
try adapted the 3TNV88C-DYEM
YANMAR Tier 4F engine to create a
unique solution when Puckett decided
to upgrade the engine driving its 500
Series pavers from EPA Tier 4I to EPA
Tier 4F.
Following the creation of an approved
3-D model, Mastry’s engineers moved
the service side of the engine to the
opposite side and incorporated special
drain hose panels as an extra feature, de-
veloping the production unit in under
60 days.
Paul Puckett, of Puckett Equipment
Inc., said: “We selected YANMAR and

Mastry because of the need to find a
proven Tier 4 diesel engine that would
fit on our pavers without a lot of struc-
tural changes. Weight, dimensions, and
horsepower were critical. Being in the
industry for so long, we had heard the
great reviews of the YANMAR engines
that Mastry markets.
“After contacting Mastry and other
dealers, we selected Mastry because of
the efforts and solutions made by their
sales and engineering departments to

supply us with an engine that would
meet our requirements. The sales de-
partment came up with a unit that
had the hp and dimensions we needed.
The engineering department designed
modifications we needed to successfully
mount the engine into our pavers. We
were very pleased with the final result.”
Mastry’s specific, application-focused
approach to solving problems is the key
to ensuring customer satisfaction.
Arley Bedellion, Industrial Sales Man-
ager, Mastry, said: “Our solution for
Puckett Equipment is one example of
the way we are prepared to commit to
the extra design and development work
for each individual customer. We will
always take time to research our cus-
tomers’ applications and provide them
with a complete package.”
