DEERE 644 X-TIERMID-SIZE WHEEL LOADERS

ON THE CUTTING EDGE.
The multipurpose 644 X-Tier Wheel Loader is designed and purpose built to take it on and go beyond. With its combined innovative E-Drive and PowerShift transmission system that delivers strong pushing power and fast ramp-climbing ability, tasks ranging from loading trucks to maintaining stockpiles to heaping hoppers can be accomplished with efficiency and ease. And this impressive iron runs quiet, too. The 644 X-Tier is packed to the max with the state-of-the-art technology and innovative features that can help take your operation to new heights of productivity and performance.

POWER WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Choose between variable and constant engine speeds in normal and performance modes. Drivetrain and hydraulic functions are powerful, responsive, and quick, to deliver exceptional productivity in the most demanding applications.

E-DRIVE INNOVATION
Innovative E-Drive transmission system delivers premium performance and efficiency. System includes an engine-driven generator plus an inverter to control the electric motor that drives a simplified PowerShift transmission.

MOVE MORE WITH LESS
Efficiency is outstanding, with up to 18-percent more tons moved per gallon of fuel burned than top competitors.* *As measured in a closed-circuit test conducted in September 2020 against similarly equipped top competitors. All machines were operated at maximum productivity in controlled conditions.

MATERIAL MATTERS
SmartWeigh option features dynamic weighing technology that allows operators to weigh without interrupting workflow and removes the need to lower and reraise the boom after tipoff. Shared through the onboard monitor, SmartWeigh is easy to calibrate and effortlessly integrates with the John Deere Operations Center so you can track and visualize payload data from almost anywhere. Available as a factory-installed or field-kit option, you can also try SmartWeigh at a low cost for 250 machine hours.

VISION AND DETECTION
SYSTEM OFFERINGS
Active jobsites present many operational challenges, including multiple machines, crew members, and bystanders. The John Deere Advanced Vision System (AVS) and SmartDetect can help enhance operator awareness to confidently navigate busy work areas:
Optional AVS includes two digital cameras mounted on the rearview-mirror platforms that integrate with the rearview (backup) camera for a single display on a dedicated in-cab monitor.
Paired with a high-resolution camera and a dedicated display, optional Advanced Rear Object-Detection System (ARODS) utilizes a radar system that provides audible alerts when objects are detected at the rear of the machine. ARODS helps operators visualize the loaders reversal path based on its articulation.
Available as an easily installed field kit, optional SmartDetect alerts operators of objects entering the machines projected travel path, emitting sound and visual alerts inside the cab as well as an audible alarm to detected bystanders. SmartDetect requires AVS, ARODS, and a G5 display as well as software activation.
Building on SmartDetect capabilities, optional SmartDetect Digital is equipped with advanced cameras that integrate with a dedicated G5 display to provide elevated operator and bystander alerts. Easily accessed through the user-friendly John Deere Operations Center mobile app, the system notifies supervisors of near-miss events with corresponding video. Weekly reports of digital usage and jobsite events within a heat-map summary are also available.

SMOOTH OPERATOR
Purpose-built PowerShift transmission provides smooth control through four forward speed ranges. Direction changes are accomplished by the electric motor, completely eliminating shifting in some truck- loading applications.

MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
Running wide open at 1,600 rpm, the in-cab noise rating is just 70 dBA. Reduced exterior noise makes the 644 X-Tier a great choice when working in residential areas.

LEVEL UP
AutoLevel enables near-perfect parallelism throughout the boom-raise-and-lower cycle, letting operators set their desired attachment angle to within two degrees.

FIELD PROVEN
John Deere E-Drive technology in our 644 and 944 Wheel Loaders has collectively logged over three million field hours a testament to the durability and performance of our transmission components and systems.

THE COAST IS CLEAR
Coast-control feature slows the loader down without the operator having to touch a pedal, helping extend service-brake wear life.

CREATURE COMFORTS
Spacious cab boasts ample legroom and features ergonomically placed controls, foot pedals, and sealed- switch module. Seat-mounted hydraulic controls include two programmable multifunction buttons and intuitive electrohydraulic (EH)controls.

INTEGRATED CONTROLS
With the capacity to control up to six functions on the single hydraulic joystick, cycle times and productivity when using hydraulic attachments are improved.

THE BUCKET LIST
Enhanced-performance buckets with integrated spill guards, curved side cutters, and impressive rollback maximize bucket-fill performance and material retention. Choose from hi-vis and JRB-style couplers to boost fleet versatility and machine utilization.

TIME TO TAKE SIDES
All daily service points including fuel are conveniently grouped on the left side of the machine at ground level, for easy access. Hinged doors enable wide-open access to the engine, cooling system, and other components.

CONNECTED MACHINES
John Deere construction equipment comes with in-base connectivity free from subscriptions or annual renewals. Analyze critical machine data, track utilization, review diagnostic alerts, and more from the John Deere Operations Center. The Operations Center also enables John Deere Connected Support, which uses data from thousands of connected machines to proactively address issues before they arise. With your approval, your dealer can also remotely monitor machine health, diagnose problems, and even update machine software without a trip to the jobsite.*
