As part of its recent growth initiative, Vane Brothers is having Conrad Industries of Amelia, Louisiana, build three new barges,
each equipped with seven John Deere Powertech marine engines.
Two John Deere Powertech 4045, 99 kW generators deliver
service power to the boat, while a third John Deere 4045, teamed with an Allison transmission, drives the chain-driven Intercon DD200 towing winch.
