John Deere L Series wheel loaders can now be equipped with a factory-installed payload weighing system.
The John Deere Payload Weighing System Integrated with Topcon is available on the 744L, 824L, and 844L models.
“With this new system, operators can quickly weigh and calculate loads, ensuring they accurately and consistently achieve target payloads," said Andrew Kahler, Deere's product marketing manager for WorkSight solutions. "This streamlines the load-out process while allowing operators to focus on getting the job done.”
Functions for wheel loaders
The System is equipped with an auto-accumulation feature, which enables the machine to automatically add each bucket load to an accumulating total.
An overload alarm alerts the operator when the wheel loader’s payload has exceeded the user defined limit.
Inside the cab, a touchscreen display shows the current payload information, and the live tip-off function provides customers the ability to adjust the final load. The System offers the operator the ability to manage multiple active jobs, and can pause active jobs when needed. This feature is designed to provide the flexibility to work between tasks, so the operator can return to unfinished jobs without starting over.
Product mix mode
A tare function lets the user automatically remove the hopper or pallet weight to determine the actual weight of the material without any off-board calculations. A product mix mode enables the System to create special product blends when mixing different materials during unique jobs.
