Deere has updated it’s line of medium-sized skid-steer and compact-track loaders, filling a gap in the company’s offerings. The G-Series of loaders are powered by Tier-4-Final, 3.3-liter Yanmar engines rated at 69 hp to 74 hp, and feature a number of improvements over the E-Series machines they are replacing. The 320G and 324G skid steers, along with the 325G compact track loader, were displayed to the public for the first time at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, held Jan. 23 to 26.
“Staying below 75 horsepower was a key target for these new machines,” says Gregg Zupancic, Deere product marketing manager for skid steers and compact track loaders. “Otherwise we’d require more aftertreatment to comply with EPA regulations."
