John Deere 944K Hybrid Wheel Loader Achieves Milestone
John Deere's 944K hybrid wheel loader has logged 1 million operating hours in the field.
Launched in 2015, 944K features a 536-horsepower, Final Tier 4 engine, which delivers impressive
torque and responsiveness, while maintaining good boom and bucket speed.
By replacing a competitive, size-class larger wheel loader with 944K, Cornejo & Sons (Summit
Materials), discovered what an efficient, cost-effective solution it is.
" The 944K meets our production requirements as well as our previous piece of equipment, and at
a lower cost, " said Adam Ware, site manager for Cornejo & Sons. " The other machine burned about 24
gallons of fuel an hour, where the 944K burns around 9 gallons per hour, while doing the same work. "
In addition to its fuel-saving capabilities, 944K Hybrid delivers reliable, long-term performance,
especially in large loadout applications. Notable features include the brushless AC generators and
motors, water-cooled brake resistors and solid-state power electronics.
The 944K's electric drive system significantly reduces operating costs for customers compared to
conventional drivetrains by eliminating torque converter and transmission rebuilds at mid-life.
Standard traction control, which automatically limits torque to any wheel when slippage occurs,
increases traction in poor underfoot conditions, and enhances rim-pull control to virtually eliminate
tire spin and slicing.
" By reaching the 1 million-hour mark on our 944K loaders, we are affirming that electrically driven
machines offer proven durability and performance advantages for our customers, " said Grant Van
Tine, solutions marketing manager, John Deere.
