When you need a multipurpose wheel loader you can count on, look to the John Deere 444 G-Tier. Ideal for everything from dirt work, to truck loading, to snow removal, this mid-size machine provides a rugged and reliable solution at an economical price point. Featuring quality components and reliable systems backed by legendary Deere dealer support, the 444 G-Tier can be just what you need to get things done.
FEATURES
VERSATILITY TO THE MAX
Equip your John Deere 444 G-Tier Loader with a Hi-Vis/ISO- or JRB-style coupler, which accepts L- and K-Series as well as G-, P-, and X-Tier buckets and other attachments, to maximize machine utilization and versatility.
OPERATOR EXPERIENCE
Comfortable and spacious cab features ergonomically placed joystick controls, foot pedals, sealed-switch module (SSM), and adjustable five-inch monitor that displays vital machine data as well as the view from the rearview camera.* Common controls will be familiar to both novice and skilled operators. In-cab adjustable boom-height kickout, return to carry, and return to dig can be easily activated from the SSM, boosting productivity in repetitive applications.
SMOOTH MOVES
Optional ride control cushions boom movements to enhance the overall ride and reduce material spillage.
REACH FOR MORE
For extra reach when loading trucks, hoppers, or feed mixers, adding High-Lift linkage provides an extra 17 inches of hinge-pin height over standard linkage.
LET IT SNOW
Contractors and governmental agencies can specifically benefit from using the 444 G-Tier Loader for snow-removal tasks. Snow tires, couplers, beacons, and third-function hydraulics are available from the factory to equip your machine to handle the white stuff.
* Rearview camera standard for EPA Final Tier 4/ EU Stage V; optional for EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA.
PROVEN TO GO THE DISTANCE
Powered by the reliable John Deere 4.5L engine found in our 444 P-Tier Loader, the 444 G-Tier uses components similar to those featured in both our current and previous series loaders for decades. Rugged powertrain with newly updated transmission, limited slip differentials, and hydraulic and electrical systems are the result of thousands of hours of experience on a wide range of jobsites. Auto-idle and auto shutdown reduce engine speed or turn it off after a period of inactivity to save fuel and warranty hours.
PRACTICAL PERFORMER
The John Deere 444 G-Tier Wheel Loader was designed to deliver a low-cost solution while providing the type of performance youre accustomed to with the 444 P-Tier model.
DEBRIS CLEARING
Optional debris package including centrifugal air pre-cleaner and auto reversing fan enables clean air to enter the engine and cooling system to efficiently clear damaging clogs.
SERVICE AND SUPPORT YOU CAN COUNT ON
Renowned John Deere and dealer support, parts availability, and warranty help keep your equipment up and running. All daily service points including fuel refill are conveniently grouped at ground level on the left side of the machine. Sight gauges for transmission and hydraulic fluid levels are easy to read. Hinged doors provide wide-open access to the engine, cooling system, and other components.
