John Deere rolls out new 326 P-Tier Telescopic Wheel Loader

MOLINE, Illinois — John Deere has added the 326 P-Tier Telescopic Compact Wheel Loader to its line-up of P-Tier compact equipment.

With a similar build and design to the 324 P-Tier Wheel Loader, the 326 P-Tier is equipped with purpose-built telescoping linkage. The new 326 P-Tier Telescopic Compact Wheel Loader offers 16-plus feet of reach from its telescopic lift arm. Controlling the telescopic arm can now be done at an operator’s fingertips thanks to the mini-joystick located on the main control lever.

Now equipped with the Load Torque Indicator System, operators will receive visual and audible alarms if stability limits are exceeded during lifting, lowering or extension, providing protection against overloading and elevating operator confidence. Once limits are reached, movements with the telescopic lift arms are only possible if the movement improves the stability of the load helping to keep the machine operating at maximum capability and performance.

John Deere explains the 326 P-Tier cab was engineered with comfort and operator ease of use at the forefront of the design. Optimizing loading and stacking processes, electro-hydraulic controls are customizable from the 9-inch touchscreen display, offering Auto Return-to-Dig, and Auto Lift and Lower functions to lower cycle times and increase productivity. The 9-inch touchscreen display also provides key information including warnings, status and machine-positioning information.

The 326 P-Tier has an overhead window with dedicated wiper blade and optional boom-mounted lights, in addition to LED lights.

The 326 P-Tier features a standard 23-mph top speed while for tight job sites, the industry-exclusive Articulation Plus steering system delivers a full 30 degrees of articulation plus 10 additional degrees of rear-wheel steering.
