Bryan Furnace recently got some seat time in John Deere’s 644 P-Tier wheel loader and gives his take on its performance and features on this episode of The Dirt.
“This is a very smooth ride,” he says.
Deere characterizes the 644 as a midsize loader. It weighs about 20.5 tons and runs on a 249-horsepower Deere engine.
For those unfamiliar with Deere’s performance tiering system, the “P” stands for mid-level features, such as upgraded cab, enhanced bucket and linkage designs, and customizable electrohydraulic controls. The 644 G-Tier is the company’s basic, more economical model, while the X-Tier features Deere’s advanced electric-drive technology.
In this episode, Bryan, who is a professional operator, discovers several features he likes about the loader – especially its smooth ride – and a couple things he’d like to see Deere address.
So to get a close-up look at the 644 P-Tier, watch it in action and hear an operator’s views, check out this episode of The Dirt.
