John Deere Adds Performance Tier 904 Wheel Loader

March 25, 2022

The 904 P-Tier Deere wheel loader is a two-pass loader in the company’s Performance Tier, offering obstacle intelligence features, such as the Advanced Vision System. The system allows increased visibility to sides of the machine by integrating two digital cameras on the rearview mirror platform and combines views into a dedicated single display in the cab. The 904 P-Tier also offers an improved rear object detection system. This feature overlays a projected vehicle reversible path within the same dedicated monitor, enhancing the operator’s experience and situational awareness. These features, coupled with premium cab comfort options, ensure operators remain productive throughout the day.

The 904 P-Tier earthmover has material-handling buckets with integrated spill guards and curved side cutters, in capacities of 9.8 and 9.3 cubic yards. Hydraulic controls are mounted on the seat.

High-capacity, heavy-duty axles with standard axle cooling filtration deliver durability in difficult conditions compared to previous models, according to Deere.

“The 904 P-Tier is built off the success of the 844L Aggregate Handler, said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager for loaders and aggregates, in a prepared statement. “It’s equipped with key features, like increased horsepower, breakout force, hydraulic pressures, and bucket offerings. The 904 P-Tier is purpose-built for the rugged demands of the aggregates industry, and the new model identity supports this approach. In addition, we wanted to advance our machines technology offerings by adding features that improve the experience of those who operate these machines.”

The Deere 904 P-Tier is JDLink compatible, providing real-time machine data and alerts, leveraging a suite of dealer and factory tools to deliver increased productivity, uptime, and lower daily operating costs, according to the company.
