Refined PowerTech™diesels deliver an impressive torque rise of 37, 41, and 54 percent in the 444J, 544J, and 624J, respectively.

444J, 544J, and 624J ride on a wider stance, providing additional lateral stability for handling heavy loads and work on rough terrain.

Extended service intervals and larger fuel tanks help maximize uptime.

Same-side ground-level daily service access makes routine tasks quick and easy.

Conveniently positioned switch module helps reduce operator fatigue with clearly visible backlit and sealed controls.

Standard air-ride armchair seat adjusts multiple ways for extra comfort.

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. Industry-leading 360-degree visibility gives a clear view of the work

ahead and the jobsite around you.

2. Advanced, multi-language monitor with analog gauges and LED

indicators provides:

Diagnostic readings of most sensors and switches, enabling

technicians to quickly troubleshoot problems.

Vital and general operating information including transmission

mode, gear, engine rpms, and ground speed.

Customized machine settings let you match operating

characteristics to specific applications by preselecting

transmission functions such as Quick-Shift and Auto-to-1st

for maximum productivity.

Hard work

never felt

this easy.

From the convenient controls that customize

machine operation, to the comfortable, fully

adjustable air-ride armchair seat, the J-Series

Loaders have everything your operators

need to do their best. All-around visibility is

unobstructed, and an improved HVAC system

helps keep the view clear, the cab comfortable.

Your choice of single-lever joystick or two-lever

pilot-operated controls and an all-new sealed

switch module allow convenient control of

multiple machine operations. Up-front, a state-of-

the-art multifunction monitor with easy-to-read

messaging, large analog gauges, and LED warning

lights provides vital operating info at a glance.

More power and

control means

more productivity.

Want to increase productivity? Choose the

J-Series Loaders. It’s not just their impressive

torque reserves and Power Bulge advantage

that make them such powerful performers.

Excavator-style hydraulics sense the load and

deliver the power needed for smooth boom

and bucket functions and fast work cycles.

You won’t find a smoother shifting loader,

either. The powershift torque converter

transmission employs smart-shift tech-

nology to continuously evaluate speed and

load conditions, and adjusts clutch-

pack engagement to suit. For more

productivity without a lot of extra effort.

Since the hydraulic system provides only the power required, there’s no wasted horsepower or fuel.

Responsive steering and full 80-degree articulation increase maneuverability in tight quarters — for fast cycle times and fewer “three-point” turns.

Smart-shift technology ensures that gear changes are smooth as silk regardless of whether the bucket is empty or fully loaded.

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.

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. Convenient sealed switch module gives fingertip control of numerous functions:

A. Boom height kick-out sets maximum desired dump height, while return-to-

carry predetermines the lowered boom position. Use these two John Deere advantages to speed production in repetitive loading applications.

B. Programmable clutch cutoff increases productivity in all kinds of terrain. Simply

select the slope at your dumpsite — level, small, or steep.When the brake pedal is depressed, the transmission disconnects while keeping engine speed high for fast boom cycles.

Large-capacity fuel tanks let you run longer between fill-ups for more uptime and productivity.

Wet-sleeve liners provide uniform engine cooling and longer durability than cast-in-block designs.

Service intervals for engine oil, transmission oil, and hydraulic oil have been extended to 500, 2,000, and 4,000 hours.

Standard features such as bypass-start protection, automatic park brake, convenient handholds, and slip-resistant steps help keep the operator out of harm’s way.

1. Electrical distribution center utilizes highly reliable circuit-board

technology and solid-state switches, eliminating numerous wiring

harnesses, fuses, relays, and connectors.

2. Optional reversible fan automatically reverses every 30 minutes,

ejecting debris from the radiator and coolers for more uptime and

productivity. Or just hit a button to choose your own cleaning cycles.

3. Four steel plates support the far end of the boom pivot, extending

the life of the pins and protecting the boom cylinder hoses.

If only all your

workers were

this reliable.

If you’re looking for a highly dependable worker,

put a 444J, 544J, or 624J on the payroll. All

three come equipped with advantages that

help them survive, even thrive, in a hostile

world. New features such as a solid-state

electrical distribution center, highly efficient

Quad-Cool system, and extended service

intervals all help keep downtime to a minimum.

PAGES

Of course, not everything is new. You’ll

also benefit from traditional John Deere

durability features such as replaceable

wet-sleeve engine cylinder liners and

reinforced articulation joints with double

tapered roller bearings, to list just a couple.

When you know how they’re built, you’ll

run a Deere.

Build one

your way.

Who says you have to “settle” for a

loader with the wrong axles, boom, bucket,

or whatever? The 444J, 544J, and 624J

are available with a wide variety of factory-

or field-installed options to fit a wide

variety of work. So you can equip a

loader with the features, tools, and attach-

ments you need to maximize your efforts.
