To mark the 50th anniversary of Deere’s first ever wheel loader, the company has rolled out three new powerful L-Series wheel loaders: the 524L, 544L, and 624L. These new machines are ideal for projects that require agility and versatility out in the field. Furthermore, they were designed with the operator in mind, with newly improved cabs, electrohydraulic loader controls, and redesigned near-parallel linkage.
“Our next generation of wheel loaders improves upon the legacy of the John Deere wheel loader line,” said Chris Cline, product marketing manager for utility wheel loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The L-Series boasts several improvements over previous models designed to positively impact productivity, comfort, and visibility, resulting in increased profitability.”
Unlike their K-Series predecessors, the new L-Series wheel loaders have cabs that are roomier and more comfortable for operator use. The heavy-duty air suspension seat is also heated for even more comfort.
EH loader controls with integrated third and fourth functional auxiliary hydraulics provide faster cycle times as well, meaning operators can move more material over a shorter period of time. Two multifunction buttons that are integrated into the hydraulic controls allow the operator to assign a function to each button, making it even easier to maneuver the machine.
