John Deere's performance tiering strategy for wheel loaders and excavators is a way for contractors to easily identify the machine that best suits their needs – from simple, reliable machines in the G-tier that can work hard but don't have advanced features, all the way to the most technologically tricked out equipment in the X-tier. The middle option P-tier machines that John Deere introduced in 2022 are indicative of what many end users ultimately want in today's environment – a machine designed for reliable, high production with some additional technology and comfort features that improve operator confidence, whether it's situational awareness technology, or optional grade control features. John Deere introduced several large wheel loaders and excavators under the P-tier umbrella this year and will continue to roll out the line into 2023.
