John Deere Expands Lineup with Next-Generation P-Tier Wheel Loaders
John Deere has launched its next generation 524 P-Tier, 544 P-Tier and 624 P-Tier Wheel Loaders. Built on the trusted foundation of the current P-Tier lineup, these updated models are loaded with enhanced technology and job readiness features that empower contractors to do more with less, support safety and help drive down operating costs.
“With the latest updates to the P-Tier Wheel Loaders, we’re delivering more than just performance. When operators arrive at the jobsite, they know their machines are ready to work. Thanks to simplified routine maintenance, they spend less time on prep and more time on the task at hand. We focused on the details that give our customers a competitive advantage on the jobsite.”
said Katie Voelliger, product marketing manager, John Deere.
Designed to make job sites more productive, the updated P-Tier Wheel Loaders feature an integrated suite of smart systems that simplify maintenance and aid in getting machines Ready to Run. With advanced onboard diagnostics, including daily fluid checks, fluid loss detection, and battery health monitoring, all easily accessible through the in-cab display, operators can manage uptime with confidence.
To further boost job site performance, the P-Tier models can now be equipped with SmartDetect from the factory. This optional camera-based system enhances operator awareness by detecting objects and people near the machine and provides visual and distinctive audible bystander alerts on the in-cab display. When equipped with SmartDetect, the G5 display acts as a secondary screen, while the next-generation primary display remains the main interface. Combining cameras, radar and machine learning, SmartDetect aids in improving situational awareness and productivity on the jobsite.
Lastly, to support greater material handling efficiency, the P-Tier Wheel Loaders are now available with new high-strength steel buckets featuring extended lips. These redesigned buckets increase material holding capacity by approximately five percent, allowing customers to move more material per pass and finish jobs more quickly.
