Compact Wheel Loaders with More Lift Capacity and Maneuverability

John Deere recently launched its 244L and 324L compact wheel loaders with increased productivity and faster travel speeds. The 244L and 324L are also highlighted by:

• The proprietary Articulation Plus system to provide greater stability and yield more lifting power while turning tighter.
• The power to move faster without having to manually shift the machine thanks to a smooth auto-shift hydrostatic transmission coupled with an automatic two-speed gearbox, which provides a faster travel speed of up to 23 MPH.
• An 8-foot, 3-inch full-lift dump height and a full-turn tip load of 8,157 pounds on the 244L, while the 324L with high lift reaches a 10-foot, 3-inch height and the standard lift is capable of a full-turn top load of 9,766 pounds.
• An enhanced linkage to improve parallel lifting, with only 6 degrees of rollback.
• A 73-HP Final Tier 4 engine.
• Better visibility to the loader arm and bucket.
• An interior layout of the switches and gauges that improves overall efficiency.
• A rear enclosure for better debris management.
• Rim pull control to extend tire life by allowing you to adjust the torque of the machine to the conditions of the jobsite.
• The flexibility to leverage over 100 John Deere Worksite Pro attachments.
• Optional JDLink telematics for real-time data and health prognostics to suggest maintenance solutions that decrease downtime and an optional air ride, high-back operator seat to ensure a smooth ride.
• A full machine warranty, which promises to fix any defects in materials or workmanship for two years after delivery or 2,000 hours—whichever comes first.
