Eight-foot-tall 204K and 304K wheel loaders are new models in the Deere lineup, designed for lower-clearance applications. They are a foot lower than other models, and they have rigid front and rear axles. Power ratings are 59 for the 204K and 64 for the 304K, and each has a Tier 4-Interim engine, two-speed transmission, and limited slip differential. Transverse-mounted engine allows for quick and convenient daily servicing, Deere says.
