Lift More and Move Faster While Staying Comfy

The John Deere 344L compact wheel loader combines speed, precision and optimal lift capacity to reach peak productivity for landscaping and snow removal customers year-round. According to the company, the 344L not only helps operators move faster and remain comfortable on the job site while increasing machine uptime, but also offers:

• The ability to handle tight turns while maintaining heavy loads, helping customers focus on the task at hand.
• A faster travel speed with smooth auto shift technology up to 25 MPH, ideal for customers who have larger job sites to traverse or for snow removal.
• An Articulation Plus steering system that allows operators to lift more during turns than comparable machines.
• An articulated frame plus rear-wheel steer for a tighter turning radius, improved stability and additional lift capacity.
• Better parallel lifting of attachments and increased visibility, especially for operators using forks, due to a new coupler and loader arms.
• 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 new cab design with a comfortable air-ride, high-back seat to reduce operator fatigue, while heating features keep workers in cold conditions focused on the job.
• A redesigned engine layout and cooling package for increased airflow for quality cooling, reduced debris penetration risk and easy access to ground-level service points.
• Reversing fan capabilities that keep customers in high-airborne-debris areas running longer.
• Proprietary shift logic to reduce operating costs by better retaining material with smooth shifts and decrease operator fatigue.
• Rim pull control to extend tire life by allowing customers to adjust the torque of the machine to the conditions of their job sites.
• JDLink telematics to provide 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 even update software without a trip to the job site.
