317G Compact Track Loader

The low centre of gravity and superior balance of a John Deere compact track loader provide exceptional agility and stability, especially when operating on slopes. Features and functionality like differential steering, a turbocharged Yanmar 4-cylinder diesel engine that packs plenty of power and torque, increased auxiliary hydraulic flow compared to previous models, and impressive boom and bucket-breakout forces combine to let you do more with less.

The John Deere 317G compact track loader can be paired with over 100 attachment models to extend the versatility of this small machine for big ideas. Australian business operators working in construction, forestry and landscaping have access to a vast array of attachments and implements to tackle jobs of all sizes, for professional results in faster turnaround times.

Track loader attachment options include augers for farmers and fencing contractors; brooms for road construction crews; cutters, shredders, and saws for land clearing; bale and fodder handling attachments for farms and feedlots; forks, buckets, blades, grapples, and backhoes for earthmoving and materials handling required by landscaping teams.

The G-Series cab delivers large entryways with swing-out doors to make it easier to get in, get comfortable, and get on with the job. Inside the sealed and pressurised cab, there’s more productivity-enhancing foot and legroom. Operators will appreciate the low effort fingertip joystick EH control for increased functionality and productivity, and faster jobsite manoeuvring provided by John Deere differential steering.

Electrohydraulic (EH) ISO-pattern joystick controls can be optionally upgraded to a switchable ISO-H pattern for easy control of attachments, boom/bucket speed settings, and creeper mode. Deluxe instrumentation EMU comes standard, with operator selectable monitoring of key diagnostics, status, and configuration.

Clear sightlines to the cutting edge and bucket corners, above and below the lift arms, and the jobsite ahead and behind means operators can manoeuvre and operate with confidence in proximity to ground workers and other machinery. An optional rear view camera, standard low-sloped hood, and a high cross-tube on the upper-linkage result in unmatched rear visibility, while optional removable glass side windows mean visibility can be maintained with easier ability to detach and clean. Lighting for night-time and low light conditions can be enhanced with the optional LED lighting package, including body mounted side lights.

For both owner operators or plant hire fleet owners, we understand that ease of maintenance and reliability are paramount. A swing-out rear door enables easy access to daily service checkpoints and cooling system, while the tilt-up the hood provides for convenient ground-level access to dipsticks, fuel and fluid-filler necks, and filters.

The 317G’s generous 71 litre tank capacity and fuel-efficient diesel engine enables daylong operation, letting you accomplish more between fill-ups. In addition, true Auto-Idle automatically idles the engine when static for 5 seconds to save on fuel and component wear.

To further maximise uptime and lower costs, optional JDLink™ wireless communication system provides machine location, utilisation data, and alerts to help you maximise productivity and efficiency. JDLink also enables John Deere Connected Support™; dealers use Expert Alerts based on data from thousands of connected machines to proactively address conditions that may otherwise likely lead to downtime.

Design your John Deere compact track loader to suit your job requirements, with many options for specific needs around overall dimensions, environmental conditions like climate and time of day, and operator comfort and controls.

Both standard and wide track options are available to balance manoeuvrability, ground pressure, and traction, from the standard 320mm (12.6”) tracks for 1.73m wide machine stance, through to optional 400mm (15.8”) tracks for 1.80m wide stance, exerting just 4.5 PSI ground pressure, for work in soft underfoot conditions and side-slope stability.

A deluxe LED lighting package upgrades the standard halogen front and rear lighting to LED, and adds body mounted LED side lights for improved all-round visibility in low light conditions. Cab and operator comfort customisations include a wider seat belt and/or additional shoulder belt, air-ride seat in cloth or vinyl, keyless-start or cold-weather starting package, cab air conditioning, radio and bluetooth connectivity, and the highly rated EH joystick performance package.
