John Deere K LOADERS 444K - Manual (Page 11)

Corrosion package shields electrical components and connections to help prevent
corrosive materials from short-circuiting productivity.
Full-tire front and rear fenders and flaps help keep the machine free of mud and debris.
Powered cab pre-cleaner is a smart addition in high airborne-debris environments.
Heated mirrors prevent fog and ice from obstructing the view and affecting productivity.
JDLink ™ lets you know where your loader is and how it’s performing. This wireless
communication system delivers location, performance, and maintenance data
to your computer.
Embedded payload scale enables you to fill each truck to its limit for maximum
productivity. It’s available on all Z-bar and high-lift loaders.
General-purpose or excavating buckets are available in pin-on or coupler configura-
tions from 1.9–2.7 m
3 (2.0–3.5 cu. yd). Or opt for the 1.5- or 2.29-m (60 or 90 in.)
wide forks with 1.22- or 1.52-m (48 or 60 in.) tines.
Need to take productivity to another level? High-lift option (not available on 524K)
extends lift height nearly 381 mm (15 in.).
Axle choices include front and rear locking differentials or front locking differential
with conventional rear.
Rear-axle disconnect disengages power when not needed. Reduces fuel consumption
and tire wear, and helps smooth the ride during roading or transport.

1. With ride control, the lift cylinders act as
shock absorbers, cushioning bumps to
allow these loaders to navigate rough ground
more quickly without losing their loads. Auto-
actuation travel speed is adjustable between
3.2 and 24.1 km/h (2 and 15 mph).
2. Worksite Pro ™ couplers increase versatility
and make attachment switchover push-
button easy. Hi-Vis coupler conforms to
ISO23727, allowing it to pick up a broad
range of John Deere and other attachments.
3. Automatic differential lock engages as
soon as a tire begins to slip. It’s ideal for
inexperienced operators or applications
requiring high traction, such as stockpiling
silage, plowing snow, and handling pipe.
