Machines in the John Deere backhoe loader lineup are designed to enhance productivity across a diverse range of applications. The P-Tier backhoe loaders are powered by the John Deere PowerTech EWL engine, delivering the power, torque, and reliability that operators need.
The 320 P-Tier backhoe loader, pictured above, includes a PowerShift Transmission with standard Autoshift, which automatically adjusts shifts to optimize engine RPMs and ground speed, significantly improving the operator experience during load-and-carry operations.
Features of the 320 P-Tier backhoe loader:
- Advanced Pressure Compensated, Load Sensing (PCLS) hydraulic system for improved multi-functioning, smooth control, and fuel efficiency
- Lift Mode increases lifting capacity by up to 15 percent, while Precision Mode allows for reduced flow, ideal for precise tasks or new operators
- Equipped with mechanical Front Wheel Drive and a limited-slip differential, it easily navigates wet and muddy conditions
- The optional ride control system minimizes tire flexing over rough terrain
