Nearly everyone offers tool carriers.
But John Deere’s Powerllel
™
loaders are
something else. Their innovative linkage
design provides an unmatched combination
of powerful digging performance, level lift,
and unsurpassed visibility throughout the
entire boom range. Add to that the J-Series
loaders’ highly popular Quad-Cool
™
system,
low-effort excavator-style pilot-operated
hydraulics, smooth-as-silk powershift
transmission, and multi-function sealed
switch module, and you’ve got a highly
versatile and reliable material mover
that’s in a class by itself.
Take versatility

Powerful digging forces and parallel lift — the Powerllel linkage’s
patented design delivers the best of both. So you can have your
loader and forklift, too.
Refined torque curves in all three loaders deliver impressive
torque reserves of 37, 41, and 54 percent. For extra power
when you need it.
444J and 544J ride on a wide stance, providing additional lateral
stability for handling heavy loads and working on rough terrain.
Worksite Pro
™
quick-coupler lets you quickly and easily switch
attachments without leaving the seat. It’s standard equipment,
letting you go from bucket, to forks, to whatever, and do more
with one machine.

Powerllel Loader key specifications
FPO: 127375
1. The power in the Powerllel
™
linkage
comes from an innovative design that
allows load forces to work with, not
against, the boom. For big breakout
in tough digging.
2. Unique Y-link,low-mounted boom
cylinders, and high-visibility forks
provide clearly superior visibility
throughout the entire lift arc.
3. Unlike others that lose performance past
the level bucket position, Powerllel loaders
deliver outstanding breakout throughout the
entire bucket and angle range. To conquer
tough tasks such as loading logs and
above-ground-level digging.

Operators benefit from a virtually unobstructed
view that takes the work out of precisely placing
loads — whether it’s pipe on trailers or aggregate
into trucks.
Want to test the power of these loaders? Demo
one against a comparable-size tool carrier in
tough digging. The result will win you over.
Standard Worksite Pro
™
quick-coupler lets
you change attachments from the cab quickly
and easily. Accommodates a wide variety of
Worksite Pro buckets and forks.

Who says you have to sacrifice loader power
to get parallel lift? Powerllel loaders deliver
the best of both. Unlike traditional linkages,
John Deere’s unique design separates the
bell crank from the cross tube, attaching
instead to the loader tower through a unique
Y-shape link. This “free-floating” bell crank
nearly doubles boom cylinder torque — for
unsurpassed boom and bucket breakout,
even in tough digging. Impressive torque
throughout the entire dump and rollback
range also makes these machines ideal for
tough tasks such as sorting or loading logs.
But don’t just look for these Powerllel
advantages in the pages of a spec sheet.
The best way to appreciate them is on your
jobsite. Wherever the job, whatever the load,
you’ll discover parallel lift with no parallel.

From the convenient controls that customize
machine operation, to the comfortable fully
adjustable armchair seat, the J-Series
loaders have everything your operators need
to be their productive best. All-around
visibility is unobstructed, and an improved
HVAC system helps keep the view clear,
the cab comfortable. Your choice of single-
or two-lever pilot-operated controls and
an all-new sealed switch module allow
convenient, fingertip control of multiple
machine operations. Up-front, a state-of-
the-art multi-function monitor with easy-to-
read messaging, large analog gauges, and
LED warning lights provides vital machine
information at a glance.

Eleven automotive-style louvers including two directed at
the pedals and independently adjustable defrosters provide
effective airflow to help keep the glass clear and the
pressurized cab comfortable.

1. Choose from single-lever joystick or two-lever
fingertip pilot-operated controls. Single-lever
control can also be equipped with an optional
fingertip FNR selector for convenient direction
and full-range gear changes. Both controls also
include John Deere’s innovative Quick-Shift
feature that allows pushbutton gear changes,
one gear at a time.
2. Advanced, multi-language monitor with analog
gauges and LED indicators provides:
A. Vital and general operating information
including transmission mode, gear, engine
rpms, and ground speed.
B. Diagnostic readings of most sensors and
switches, enabling technicians to quickly
troubleshoot problems.
C. Customized machine settings that let an
operator match operating characteristics to
specific applications by preselecting trans-
mission functions such as Quick Shift and
Auto-to-1st for maximum productivity.

Since the hydraulic system provides only the power
required, there’s no wasted horsepower or fuel.
When rpms drop below 2,200, the horsepower
actually goes up.
The John Deere Power Bulge advantage helps
maintain good boom and bucket speed into the pile.
Smart-shift technology ensures that gear changes
are smooth as silk, regardless of whether the
bucket is empty or fully loaded.
Responsive steering and full 80-degree articulation
increase maneuverability in tight quarters — for
fast cycle times and fewer “three-point” turns.
1. Backlit buttons in the sealed switch
module allow fingertip control of numerous
functions. No tools are required to adjust
boom height kick-out, return-to-carry, or
return-to-dig. Instead, the operator sets
these from the seat.
2. Return-to-dig places the attachment
at a predetermined level position. The
switch has two presets, for increased
convenience and productivity in
applications requiring frequent
changeover between attachments.
3. Boom height kick-out sets maximum
desired dump height, while return-to-
carry sets the lowered boom position.
Use these two John Deere advantages
to speed production in repetitive
loading applications.

If you’ve got maximum productivity in mind, the
J-Series loaders deliver. But it’s not just their
torque reserves and Power Bulge advantage
that make these such impressive performers.
Excavator-style hydraulics sense the load and
deliver the multi-function power needed for fast
work cycles. You won’t find a smoother shifting
loader, either. The powershift torque-converter
transmission employs smart-shift technology to
continuously evaluate speed and load conditions,
and adjusts clutch-pack engagement to suit.
For more productivity without extra effort.

control means
