DEERE 244 P-TIERCOMPACT WHEEL LOADERS

RUN SMALL, DREAM BIG
Your workday is usually long, your tasks can take you into tight places, and you need a multipurpose machine to get everything done. Smaller do-it-all equipment that combines head-turning maneuverability, sure-footed stability, and comfortable capability with productive power, responsive travel speed, and ease of serviceability. Meet the 244 P-Tier Compact Wheel Loader, designed to include a wide range of reliable standard features and proven options that help you imagine the big results this highly adaptable multitasker can deliver for your operation.

FEATURES
TURN THINGS AROUND
Industry-exclusive Articulation Plus steering system combines 30 degrees of articulation with 10 additional degrees of rear-wheel steer. Reduced articulation angle design delivers tighter turns that are more stable, especially with large loads, than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus.

ON THE LEVEL
Loader arm and coupler design improves the lifting path to near parallel for better load-carrying capability than previous models. This keeps the load more level from ground to truck-bed height and helps the operator focus on the task instead of on making manual adjustments.

FAST GETAWAY
With a standard top speed of over 23 mph, the 244 P-Tier can make some pretty quick moves on and between jobsites.

SMOOTH MOVES
Load-sensing AutoShift powertrain technology eliminates productivity-interrupting manual shifts between gear ranges while providing smooth direction changes.

CONTROL AND COMMAND
Low-effort joystick controls boom and bucket, forward-neutral-reverse (F-N-R), and differential lock. Standard mini-joystick controls auxiliary hydraulic functions including optional high-flow. Adjustable-height monitor lets operators keep close watch on vital machine functions.

ENJOY THE RIDE
Standard ride control cushions the boom during travel over rough and uneven terrain, reducing material spillage from the bucket and minimizing site cleanup.

LIGHTEN UP
In-cab lighting activates when the door is opened to illuminate machine entrances and exits. Optional LED front and rear worklights brilliantly brighten early morning or after-daylight tasks.

QUICK-CHANGE ARTIST
Equip your 244 P-Tier with an ISO coupler to quickly and easily go from bucket to forks, for maximum lift capacity. Opt for the available John Deere quick-coupler to utilize a wide array of skid-steer-compatible attachments. High-flow electrohydraulic-controlled auxiliary hydraulics are also available.

ITS A LOCK
Optional throttle lock and creep control let operators set a slow ground speed while maintaining full engine power to an attachment. Now even easier to activate and adjust on the fly, these functions are perfect for work with snow blowers, cold planers, or material scrapers.

GET A GRIP
Manual low-speed 100-percent differential lock delivers the ground-gripping tractive effort needed to dive deep into the pile and help heap the bucket. Rimpull control manages power to the wheels, allowing the operator to select the optimal setting to reduce tire and driveline wear.

KEEP YOUR COOL
Redesigned engine compartment and cooling package improve airflow and reduce the amount of debris entering the system compared to previous models. Access to all daily service checks and cooler cores is from ground level.

OPTIONAL LED FRONT & REAR WORKLIGHTS ENHANCE VISIBILITY
BUSINESS BOOSTER
John Deere attachments are a great way to expand the flexibility of your operation. With more than 100 models, theyll help you broaden your abilities, work smarter, and accomplish even more.
