L-Series Loaders boast new front-end features and more

With new front-end features and an all-new cab and controls, John Deere 444L, 644L, and 724L help you put your best foot forward.  Enhancements over previous models include near-parallel lift, a more spacious operator station, ergonomic electrohydraulic (EH) controls, and new bucket and linkage designs. 

Plus streamlined electrical and hydraulic routing, and a host of other features help maximize uptime, for the performance, reliability, and comfort you need to stay in front of your competition.

Featuring redesigned joysticks and expanded, customizable electrohydraulic (EH) controls, L-Series Loaders put you in touch with intuitive operation. Two industry-exclusive multifunction buttons on the bucket lever can be programmed to handle any of up to 10 functions.

Production-boosting features up front include new bucket and linkage designs that improve load levelling, material retention, and visibility over earlier models.

Near-parallel lift combined with better load-levelling capability compared to K-Series models helps reduce load rollback, material spillage, and manual adjustments.

Redesigned cab features ergonomic controls, a more adjustable seat, an optional heated/ventilated seat (available only with the premium cab), a better air conditioning system, and more legroom, storage, and power ports than previous models.

Available in 60- and 72-inch lengths, improved shaft-style forks enable better visibility to the fork tips compared to previous mode,

Routing of electrical wire harnesses and hydraulic hoses has been streamlined to reduce rubbing.

An expanded selection of enhanced production buckets with integrated spill guards, curved side cutters, and impressive rollback boosts bucket-fill performance and material retention compared
to the K-Series.
