Models 244, 324, and 344 Deere wheel loaders are moving from L Series to P Tier. The compact wheel loaders have new productivity-enhancing qualities, including standard ride control in base models and optional factory-installed features. Options include auto-reversing fan, attachment assist controls, and combined creep control and throttle lock.
Ride control cushions boom movements during transport, acting like a shock absorber to help minimize material spillage. It is applied with a flip of a switch in the cab and can be set to automatically engage and disengage at a predetermined speed.
Articulation Plus steering system combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with an additional 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering.
The upgraded combined creep control and throttle lock found within the attachment assist controls package allows customers to run their machines with higher rpm and lower ground speeds with overall fewer manual inputs. An enhanced pause and resume function means that reactivating the feature after a change in direction or switch to neutral is seamless as well.
