John Deere 644 Wheel Loader

“The John Deere 644 is a seriously powerful mid-sized wheel loader – engineered to handle some seriously tough stuff like moving heavy materials, digging into the earth and even industrial applications. We built it to last – with a focus on strength, efficiency and reliability. It all comes together under the hood with advanced hydraulics, a tough as nails powertrain and smart control systems that really deliver on output and keep the costs down, even in the most demanding environments.

The 644 runs on a 186 kW (249 hp) John Deere PowerTech PSS 6068 turbocharged diesel engine that’s just as it says on the tin – excellent torque, silky smooth acceleration and consistent performance even under a heavy load. Add to that its automatic PowerShift transmission and heavy-duty axles and it’s like a rock – reliable, stable and always in control. The Z-bar linkage design is the icing on the cake – giving you the power to get the job done fast and with precision.

When you factor in an operating weight of around 18,700-19,200 kg and a bucket capacity range from 3.1 to 3.6 m³ you’re looking at a machine that’s got serious versatility. Whether it’s loading, stockpiling or truck loading, this beast of a machine can handle it all. And if you want to take it to the next level there’s optional high-lift configurations and features like the SmartWeigh payload system that really help with precision and material handling productivity.

Now the cab – well that’s just the icing on the cake. The spacious ROPS/FOPS certified cab is all about comfort and control – with ergonomic joystick controls, plenty of visibility and adjustable seats. And if you’re doing a long day’s work climate control’s nice to have too. Maintenance’s a breeze thanks to grouped service points, ground-level access and a Quad-Cool cooling system that keeps things running nice and cool.

In short, the John Deere 644 is a real workhorse when it comes to performance, operator comfort and efficiency – making it a top choice for the likes of contractors, quarry operators and material handling pros who want to get the job done on time and with minimum fuss and hassle.”
