John Deere 244K, 324K Wheel Loaders

The 244K and 324K compact wheel loaders are 64- and 70-horsepower units, respectively, with Tier 4-Final engines. Oscillating stereo steering enables a turning radius that provides quick cycle times and material retention over rough terrain, the company says. Hydrostatic drivetrain has infinitely variable range, and the 100 percent front differential lock is activated through a pushbutton on the joystick. The engine is transverse-mounted for access to daily servicing points.
