DEERE 544 G-TIERMID-SIZE WHEEL LOADERS

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
Got a material-handling task that demands impressive machine agility and ability? The John Deere 544 G-Tier Wheel Loader is packed with proven capabilities plus customer-inspired productivity and uptime-enhancing features. This mid-sized machine delivers rugged reliability and outsized operating ease, just like the rest of the legendary Deere loader lineup. And its lower initial acquisition cost doesnt mean equipment quality and dealer support are in short supply. Get ready to realize what this purpose-built model can help your operation do.

MACHINE AND FLEET VERSATILITY
Choose between optional pin-on buckets and Hi-Vis/ISO- and JRB-style couplers that accept L- and K-Series as well as P- and X-Tier attachments and buckets. Optional third- and fourth-function hydraulics enable the use of a broad range of attachments. Available field kits allow fork frames and other bucket options to be added.

COMFORT AND CONTROL IN THE CAB
Easy-to-access machine settings and features, adjustable high-definition monitor with built-in diagnostic trouble codes, and convenient floor storage help operators work productively. Durable joystick controls, foot pedals, and sealed-switch module (SSM) are ergonomically placed. The choice of standard mechanical or optional air-ride suspension seat is yours.

USER-FRIENDLY OPERATION
Intuitive pilot controls and the automatic transmission that shifts on the fly can be appreciated by both novice and skilled operators. Optional front-differential lock stabilizes traction in muddy or soft ground conditions. In-cab adjustable boom-height kickout, return to carry, and return to dig can be easily activated from the SSM, speeding repetitive applications. Clutch cutoff delivers full engine power to the hydraulics when crowding a pile and using the brakes, decreasing cycle times and boosting productivity.

LET IT SNOW
Contractors and governmental agencies can specifically benefit from using the 544 G-Tier Loader for snow-removal tasks. Snow tires, couplers, beacons, and fourth-function hydraulics are available from the factory to equip your machine to handle the white stuff.

REACH FOR MORE
For extra reach when loading trucks, hoppers, or feed mixers, adding High-Lift linkage provides an extra 14 inches of hinge-pin height over standard linkage.

ECONOMICAL HIGH PERFORMER
The John Deere 544 G-Tier Wheel Loader was designed to deliver a lower cost of ownership solution without sacrificing performance compared to 544 and 524 P-Tier models.

PROVEN DESIGN AND RELIABILITY
The 544 G-Tier leverages components and technology similar to those featured in both our current and previous series loaders for decades. John Deere PowerTech 4.5L and 6.8L engines are designed to maximize cooling efficiency and cylinder and piston-ring durability. John Deere TeamMate V axles contain pressure-lubed input bearings and brake discs to boost wear life. Extended service intervals lower maintenance costs over the life of the machine. Auto-idle and auto shutdown reduce engine speed or turn it off after a period of inactivity to save fuel and warranty hours.

DEPENDABLE SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Renowned John Deere and dealer support, parts availability, and warranty help keep your equipment up and running. All daily service points including fuel 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.

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.*
