Meet the John Deere 344L Loader

The 344L compact wheel loader is an impressive addition to John Deere’s lineup of compact construction equipment.

 

“We designed the new 344L to help operators get more done in the field faster than they have before,” says Drew Miller, product marketing manager for compact wheel loaders at John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The 344L is a quick, nimble machine that is optimized for handling tight turns while maintaining heavy loads, helping customers focus on the task at hand and not having to manage the machine.”

 

344L Compact Wheel Loader Features

 

The 344L was rebuilt from the ground up and offers many great features to improve productivity on the jobsite. These are a few of our favorites:

 

Articulation Plus™

 

A John Deere exclusive feature, Articulation Plus, combines an articulated frame with rear wheel drive to enhance stability, make tighter turns, and improve safety during lifts.

 

Speed

 

The 344L compact wheel loader can achieve travel speed up to 25 mph and features auto-shift technology for easy operation on large jobsites.

 

Visibility

 

The completely redesigned cab offers more than just operator comfort – it provides operators with much more visibility as the front glass on the new cab extends all the way down to the operator’s feet.

 

Parallel Lift

 

The loader arm and coupler design on the 344L compact wheel loader keep the load level from ground to full height minimizing lost material.
