2024 John Deere 344 P-Tier Base

2024 John Deere 344 P-Tier

• Net Power: 76 kW (103 hp) at 2,000 rpm

• Operating Weight: 8860 kg (19,533 lb.)

• Bucket Capacity: 1.5–2.0 m3 (2.0–2.6 cu. yd.)

Features may include:

P-tier compact wheel loaders feature industry exclusive Articulation Plus™ that adds rear wheel steer to increase full turn tipping load and overall maneuverability

• This steering system combines 30 degrees of articulation with an additional 10degrees of rear-wheel steering.

• Articulation Plus™ enables a significantly higher full turn tipping load than machines without this feature because the machine does not need to articulate as much to turn

• This feature results in a significantly tighter turning radius than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus™

The operator focused designs found within John Deere Compact Wheel loaders ensure operators are comfortable and productive all day.

• P-tier loaders bring over the significant cab upgrades seen in L-series wheel loaders that featured an overall larger cab that is both wider and longer compared to previous series

• To help keep operators more comfortable during a long shift, the air conditioning system contains an array of adjustable louvers. The optimized duct work coupled with these louvers provide increased airflow and allow the operator to direct airflow where it is needed.

• Ergonomic, low effort controls all on the right side, allow operators to work comfortably and more efficiently

• Machine display is mounted to the cab A-frame and is height adjustable

• Ample storage within the cab allows operators to keep personal items close and secure

• Adjustable steering column allows operators to easily move the steering wheel to a desired position to help increase productivity and allow easy ingress and egress.

• The left pedal acts as a brake and inching pedal. If the operator pushes all the way down, the machine comes to a complete stop. If the operator presses the pedal without going all the way down, the machine will proportionally move slower and continue at that speed

The 344 P-tier comes with features that result in higher productivity in applications like V-pattern truck loading, bale handling, and landscaping.

• The John Deere™ 4045T engine features a high-pressure common rail fuel system with electronic injectors, four-valve cylinder head, a wastegate turbocharger, and is charge air cooled. The 344 P-tier meets Final Tier 4 emissions regulations through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system utilizes diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

• Based off of customer and dealer feedback, the 344 P-tier has a maximum travel speed of 40 km/h (25 mph)

• Automatic shift logic has been internally developed specifically for this machine to allow the operator to focus on their work instead of shifting gears. This allows the machine to seamlessly transition from loading to transport. The system senses the machine speed and load and will adjust the hydrostatic pumps, motors, and gearbox automatically without operator input to best match the conditions.

• Manual low-speed 100-percent differential lock delivers the ground gripping tractive effort necessary to dive deep into the pile and help heap the bucket.
