Handling Tight Turns while Maintaining Heavy Loads

Combining speed, precision and lift capacity, the John Deere 344L compact wheel loader provides productivity for landscaping and snow removal customers year-round. According to the company, the compact wheel loader is further highlighted by:

• A fast travel speed with smooth auto-shift technology up to 25 MPH, ideal for larger jobsites or snow removal.
• An Articulation Plus steering system to lift more during turns than comparable machines.
• An articulated frame plus rear-wheel steering to provide a tighter turning radius, improved stability and additional lift capacity.
• A full-turn tip load of 12,650 pounds, so customers are able to lift heavier loads and keep more material in the bucket without making adjustments.
• A comfortable air-ride, high-back seat to reduce operator fatigue, while heating features keep workers in cold conditions focused on the job.
• More space in the cab, and increased visibility to the loader arm and bucket to improve overall efficiency.
• Pivot and rear oscillation for a smoother ride.
• A redesigned engine layout and cooling package to increase airflow for cooling, reduce debris penetration risk and ease access to ground-level service points.
• Reversing fan capabilities to keep customers in high-airborne-debris areas running longer.
• A FT4 Deere engine to facilitate serviceability.
• Proprietary shift logic that reduces operating costs by retaining material with smooth shifts.
• Rim pull control to extend tire life by allowing customers to adjust the torque of the machine to the conditions of their jobsites.
• Machine monitoring solutions for real-time data and health prognostics to suggest maintenance solutions that decrease downtime.
• Remote diagnostics that enable a dealer to read codes, record performance data and update software without a jobsite visit.
