Deere's 1st Interim Tier 4 Machine 744k 4WD Loader
Deere's first Interim Tier 4 machine in the 175 to 750 hp rangeby Joe Mastanduno Product Marketing Manager for Engines August 13, 2010
Last time I promised to give you the scoop on Deere's first Interim Tier 4 machine in the 175 to 750 hp range – and I'm a man of my word.
In fact, Deere is the very first manufacturer in the construction industry to release a machine in this power category that meets IT4 regulations – the 744K 4WD loader.
It’s at Deere dealers now, not only ready for next year’s standard, but also available to help you work today.
This particular size wheel loader was picked because it has a highly dynamic work cycle that’s demanding in terms of engine performance. The 744K’s typical applications were a perfect way to test the EGR solution and integrated John Deere engine technology. It passed with flying colors.
The 744K is our first move, and it is the first of many IT4 machines we’ll be releasing in the coming months.
