John Deere 304J - Manual (Page 4)

1. Boom float allows easy backdragging for
finish grading and cleaning up jobsites.
2. The 304J’s unique design turns tight but
articulates less, keeping the center of
gravity and ballast in line to counteract
load forces — for superior full-turn
tipping load capacity.
3. An oscillating rear axle and elastic
articulation at the pivot smoothes the
ride for greater material retention and
reduced operator fatigue.
4. 304J’s long reach lets it easily dump
to the center of tandem-axle trucks
for quicker and easier loading.
5. Manual low-speed differential
lock delivers the traction needed
to go deeper into the pile for bigger
bucket loads.

Unlike comparable-size machines, return-to-dig
is standard on the 304J.
Oscillating stereo steering combines machine
articulation and rear-axle steering, giving the
304J the tightest turn radius in its class.
Twenty-inch tires are standard.
