When we say big, it's not size we're talking about.
The John Deere 944 X-Tier 4WD Hybrid Wheel Loader is a big deal. It puts up big numbers, provides big opportunity, big in support, and is big on reliability.
Big in numbers, the 944 X-Tier burns 13% less fuel, saving on fuel costs and reducing carbon output by up to 900 tonnes (1). Big on opportunity, it has 4 independent drive motors that require 4 fewer tyre changes (2) and also has a 40-50% lower rebuild cost (3) over the course of its life. Big on support, the 944 X-Tier comes with an 8-year or 20,000-hour E-Drive Warranty (4). Big on reliability, John Deere has been in the loader business for 50 years, with 5,000,000 hours globally recorded for their E-Drive Loaders.

Brochure and Full Specs
The 944 X-Tier 4WD Hybrid Wheel Loader consumes less fuel (1) and requires fewer tyre changes annually (2). It's a big machine that puts up big numbers and is big on efficiency and reliability. To see all the ways the 944 X-Tier is big, check out the full specs.
1. The 944 X-Tier burns 13% less fuel over conventional drive loaders in V-pattern truck loading and load and carry applications that are common on aggregates sites. This translates into up to 31 kg less of CO2 being emitted per hour compared to a traditional drive machine within this size class, resulting in 930,000 kg less of CO2 emitted over 30,000 hours.
2. The E-Drive system also helps prevent excessive tyre spin, with the machine needing four fewer tyre changes over its life.
3. Since the 944 X-Tier does not contain major components like axles and a transmission, those components will not need to be rebuilt or replaced like on a conventional-drive loader. A Mid-life event for this loader within the 18,000– 20,000-hour range costs approximately 40–50-percent less than rebuilding a traditional-drive machine.
4. Yearly inspection required.
5. Combined hours for 644 & 944 Diesel Electric Drivetrain.
