Deere updates 944K Hybrid loader with new engine, more

A new Tier 4 Final engine headlines a list of upgrades Deere has made to its 944K hybrid wheel loader.

The machine’s new Deere PSS 13.5-liter engine provides 536 horsepower, the same power as the Tier 4 Interval engine it replaces. The loader is powered by the engine along with AC generators and motors. In this hybrid drive system, the engine turns twin generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Motors on each wheel then convert that electrical energy back to mechanical energy to move the wheels.

Because of the new engine, Deere says the already efficient loader has lowered fuel consumption by between 9 and 14 percent compared to its Tier 4 Interim-powered predecessor.

 

Deere has used this engine refresh as an opportunity to add a few more upgrades to the 944K:

  • Improved coast control performance: A standard feature that allows the operator to adjust the aggressiveness of the machine during deceleration with three different settings, Deere says the improved coast control on the 944K delivers a 33 percent increase in deceleration performance and an overall extension to service brake life.
  • Heated and ventilated cab seat and
  • Lower noise levels inside the cab
  • Addition of remote jump-start terminals in a closed and locked engine compartment. These terminals allow for quicker jump-starting and can be used with a trickle charger in cold weather. They are color-coded and insulated .
  • Addition of a bolted-shut engine fan door that reduces possibility of opening during operation
  • Consolidated engine stop switch and 24-volt electrical disconnect switches for easier access
  • Relocation of engine block heater plug-in for easier access in cold climates

Through July 31, 2019, Deere is providing a 96-month/20,000-hour warranty (whichever comes first) on existing and new 944Ks with nonprorated assurance on the wheel motors, generators, power inverters and brake retarders.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space. Only slightly behind the number of steps my watch logged during the show are the number of images I grabbed with my camera with the goal of giving our readers a feeling of what being at this show is li

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
