Productivity
  • Unique stereo steering provides unsurpassed maneuverability, for tight turns and extra agility in close quarters. Turns tight but articulates less, keeping the center-of-gravity and ballast in-line for superior full-turn tipping load capacity.
  • Big breakout forces, high dump clearance, and generous lift capacities make the 344J an ideal machine for a wide range of work.
  • Two-speed hydrostatic drivetrain delivers infinite travel speeds from 0 to 19 mph. Inching pedal further fine-tunes control.
  • Available pushbutton-actuated quick coupler increases versatility and simplifies attachment switchover.

    • Comfort

  • Oscillating rear axle and elastic articulation reduces cab tilt as much as 50 percent, for a smoother ride that is easier on both machine and operator.
  • Available highly efficient HVAC system with numerous automotive-type louvers helps keep the view clear and the cab comfortable.
  • Spacious sound-suppressed walk-through cab provides best-in-class visibility and comfort.
  • Boom and bucket control, FNR, and differential lock are all on the same low-effort lever for convenient single-handed control.

    • Uptime / Service

  • Wet-disc brakes in the heavy-duty axles self-adjust and are sealed from moisture and contaminants for long, trouble-free life.
  • Hydraulically driven fan runs only as needed for efficient cooling, reduced noise, and lower fuel consumption.
  • Fuel-efficient PowerTech™ Deere diesel runs 500 hours between oil changes. Serpentine belt never needs adjustment.
  • Easy-lift hood and transverse-mounted engine provide convenient ground-level access to daily checkpoints.
  • Environmental drains and spin-on vertical filters make fluid changes quick and clean.
