New P-tier compact loaders from John Deere

John Deere has expanded its Performance Tiering offerings with the shift from L-Series to P-Tier for the 244, 324 and 344 Compact Wheel Loader models. The new P-Tier compact wheel loaders will carry over all L-Series features and introduce new productivity-enhancing qualities.

“As we continue to make the shift from past generation machines to our current generation of Performance Tiering models, we aim to keep the same features our customers know and trust on the L-Series models, with the added benefits of new productivity enhancements only available on the P-Tier machines,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, John Deere.

Some of the new features on the P-Tier compact loaders:

• Ride control is now standard on all P-Tier compact wheel loaders. Ride control cushions boom movements during transport to help minimize material spillage and is applied with a flip of a switch from the cab.
• Articulation Plus™, which enables rear-wheel steering to increase full-turn tipping load and improve maneuverability. This steering system combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with an additional 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering.
• Upgraded combined creep control and throttle lock found within the attachment assist controls package allows customers to run their machines with higher RPMs and lower ground speeds.
• An optional auto-reversing fan for operators on sites with in an environment with an abundance of debris or dust, ideal for applications in agriculture, aggregates and site development.
