Productivity

• PowerTech™ Deere diesel delivers best-in-class net horsepower, net peak torque, and a whopping 60 percent torque rise.
• When rpms drop, horsepower actually goes up.  John Deere Power Bulge advantage develops 15 % more power to help maintain good boom and bucket speed into the pile. 
• You won't find a smoother shifting loader.  The Power Shift torque-converter transmission employs smart-shift technology to continuously evaluate speed and load conditions, and adjusts clutch-pack engagement to suit.  For extra productivity without extra effort. 
• Low center of gravity and optimized fore-and-aft balance delivers unmatched stability and impressive full-turn tipping load capacities.
• Best-in-class powertrain & hydraulic performance maintains quick ground speeds & boom lift, even on steep ramps. For faster trips from pile to hopper.

Comfort

• Choose from single-lever joystick or two-lever fingertip pilot-operated hydraulic controls.  Both include John Deere's innovative Quick Shift feature that allows pushbutton gear changes.
• Standard joystick steering offers exceptional control & fatigue-bating comfort for V-pattern truck loading. Also adapts to ground speed, making it useful for load-and-carry operations.
• Backlit pushbuttons in the sealed touchpad allow fingertip control of numerous functions.  No tools required to adjust boom height kick-out, return-to-carry, or return-to-dig.
• Standard air-ride seat adjusts multiple ways for extra comfort.  All-around visibility is unobstructed and 11 automotive-style louvers provide effective airflow to help keep the view clear, the spacious cab comfortable.

Uptime/Service

• Extended engine, hydraulic, and transmission service intervals contribute to low daily operating costs.
• Remote fluid sample & diagnostic ports enable technicians to perform preventative maintenance & troubleshoot problems more quickly.
