John Deere Wheel Loaders Deliver Big Results in a Compact Package

John Deere introduces the heavy-lifting, tight-turning 244K and 324K Compact Wheel Loaders. Both machines are loaded with features to increase productivity, visibility, versatility and lower daily operating costs.

The oscillating stereo steering is the foundation of the compact K-Series models, delivering a smooth turning radius, up to 20 percent tighter than comparable loaders. This feature ensures faster cycle times and better material retention over rough terrain. The 244K and 324K offer higher tipping load capacities than their J-Series predecessors and the hydrostatic drivetrain's infinitely variable range allows the operator to precisely match travel speed. The wheel loaders" 100 percent front differential lock is easily activated through a pushbutton on the joystick. In addition, a manual low-speed differential lock delivers the traction needed to go deeper into the pile for bigger bucket loads.
