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.

Available sound-suppression packages make J-Series cabs even quieter — some by as much as 5 dBa.

Axle options include front and rear locking differentials or front locking differential with conventional rear.

Corrosion package shields electrical components and connections for longer life.

Onboard weighing systems help you to load trucks to their full legal payload, for maximum productivity.

1. Equip your loader with the bucket teeth or

edges that best suit your application. Easydigging Fanggs edges, and special-duty Guardian Poly-Edges

™

teeth, interchangeable JAGZ

™

all deliver superior life and a host of other advantages for a wide variety of work.

2. Choose either single-lever joystick or two-

lever fingertip control. Add up to five hydraulic functions.

3. Need to go higher? The factory-installed high-lift

option extends lift height nearly a foot-and-ahalf and is ideal for efficiently moving materials to new heights.

4. Ride-control option enables the hydraulic lift

cylinders to act as shock absorbers and lets these loader navigate rough terrain more quickly without losing the load. Auto-actuation speed is adjustable between 2 and 15 mph.

5. Extra guarding and integrated “purpose-built”

features go into the J-Series Waste Handlers. We’ve got what it takes for other heavy-duty applications, too.

6. Optional hydraulically activated Worksite Pro

quick-coupler lets an operator switch attachments without leaving the cab.

™

Hydraulically driven fan runs only as needed — for efficient cooling and reduced fuel consumption.

Optional reversing fan automatically back-blows every 30 minutes to help keep cooler cores clean. Or hit the button to choose your own cleaning cycles.

All daily service points including fuel are on the left side for quick and convenient ground-level access.

Quad-Cool system keeps the radiator; airconditioner condenser; intercooler; and hydraulic, transmission, and optional axle coolers isolated from engine heat for increased efficiency and durability.

Large service doors swing open wide, providing quick entry to the engine and Quad-Cool system compartments.

Three-millimeter perforations act as a “first filter,” preventing entry of most airborne debris. Both sides of all coolers are easily accessible for quick cleaning, if necessary.

We made

ourselves even

more accessible.

When it comes to helping you control daily

operating costs, we’re open to new ideas —

and these loaders are packed with them.

Take the Quad-Cool system, for example.

It places major coolers in a unique boxed

configuration that eliminates stacked coolers,

for unsurpassed access and resistance to

1. Vertical spin-on oil filters allow quick,

no-spill changes. Extended transmission filter and engine and hydraulic oil service intervals contribute to low operating costs.

4. Conveniently located, easy-to-read sight gauges

let you check fluid levels at a glance.

2. Greasing is less messy with centralized lube banks, providing easy access to difficult-toreach zerks.

5. Lockable compartment swings open, offering convenient ground-level access to batteries and electrical disconnect switch.

plugging. We didn’t stop there. Service intervals

have been extended, and ground-level same-

side service points help make quick work of

the daily routine. The list of J-Series features

that help minimize maintenance goes on and

on. And so will the owning and operating cost

savings you’ll enjoy.

3. If something goes wrong, the advanced monitor

gives diagnostic messages and even offers possible troubleshooting solutions to help get you back up and running more quickly.

6. Your John Deere dealer has the parts and service

you need to stay productive, and also offers a wide variety of preventative maintenance and support programs to help control costs.

This guide, representing bucket sizes not necessarily manufactured by Deere, will help you in selecting proper bucket size for material density, loader configuration, and operating conditions. Optimum bucket size is determined after adding or subtracting all tipping load changes due to optional equipment. The “conservative load” line on this guide is recommended when operating in conditions such as soft ground and unlevel surfaces. The “maximum load” condition on this guide is sometimes utilized when operating on firm ground and level surfaces.
