324G FT4 Skid Steer Loader

The John Deere 324G Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV turbocharged diesel meets rigid emission standards, runs smooth, and packs plenty of power and torque. With a high-flow hydraulics option delivering 120 L/min at 3,450 psi, and John Deere heat-treated, chrome-plated polished cylinder rods made from hardened steel, achieve a rated operating capacity of 1,221 kg (tipping load 2,443 kg), and boom breakout force of 2,384 kg (with foundry bucket).

The patented John Deere vertical-lift boom offers more lift height and reach at the top of the lift path, for more stability and truck-loading ability. A height to hinge pin up to 3.2 m enables these machines to easily load tandem-axle dump trucks, feed mixers, and fill hoppers. You’ll also appreciate the additional reach to truck-bed height when handling pallets of heavy materials.

Mechanical foot controls can be upgraded to electrohydraulic (EH) ISO-pattern joystick controls or ISO-H switchable joystick controls and EH joystick performance package. The EH joystick performance package features switchable accelerator/decelerator, selectable propel speeds, creep control, boom- and bucket-speed settings, and 12-volt 3- and 14-pin attachment-control harness with dash-mounted 4th-function rocker switch.

Optional on the 324G and 320G, two-speed drivetrain delivers travel speeds up to 17.9 km/h, for rapid work cycles.

The 324G Skid Steer comfort options includes a heated and air-conditioned pressurised cab designed to provide the best operator experience possible, keeping dust and noise out. Larger entryways with swing-out doors make it easier to get in, get comfortable, and get on with it. A rear window and removable top window come standard, with optional side windows (sliding, locking, removable). A wide and comfortable seat belt and pull-down adjustable lap bar, triple-interlock operator presence control system, ROPS/FOPS structure, and in-cab boom lockout (to secure loader before exiting seat) provide essential operator safety controls.

Deluxe instrumentation EMU comes standard, with operator selectable monitoring of key diagnostics, status, and configuration. Optional onboard grade-indication provides a real-time readout of cross-slope (roll of the machine) and mainfall slope (pitch of the machine) on the in-cab monitor, with absolute and relative values.

Safely operating under low light and inclement weather conditions is made possible with front and rear work lights, with the option to upgrade to a LED lighting package for additional cab-integrated side lights. Hazard warning lights and amber strobe light options are also available for additional safety on busy work sites.

Add any of the 100+ attachments available for the 324G and watch your productivity soar – increased auxiliary hydraulic flow and power enable the 324G to make the most of an even broader range of attachments.

Generous standard and optional high-flow auxiliary hydraulics let you effortlessly run powered attachments such as planetary augers, hydraulic hammers, and trenchers. Imagine the versatility of this powerful, compact machine for land clearing, landscaping, farm work, residential construction, and municipal works. For loading and earthmoving, choose from rock, multipurpose, construction, utility, tooth, grading-heel, and rollout buckets in varying widths and capacities.

Universal Quik-Tatch™ enables you to go from bucket, to trencher, to whatever, in just seconds, to accomplish more with one machine.

The G-Series is loaded with time and money-saving features designed to deliver efficient operation and maximum uptime. Auxiliary hydraulic lines and wiring are routed through the boom where they’re protected from damage. Oil-bathed final-drive chains withstand the daily grind and almost never need adjustment. The 324G’s Yanmar 4-cylinder turbocharged fluid-efficient diesel with auto-idle standard and a generous 79 L fuel tank enables extended operation cycles.

A hinged hood and easy-to-remove side shields yield wide-open access to coolers, simplifying core cleanout. The optional reversing fan drive feature can be set to automatically reverse to clear core-clogging buildup.

Owners of a John Deere fleet will appreciate the time and money-saving convenience of shared components between John Deere skid steers, track loaders, and compact excavators.
