The 544 G-Tier controls were designed with operators of all skillsets in mind. The simple setup and functionality means operators can put the machine to work quicker and easier.

  • Pilot controls on the 544 G-Tier are intuitive to operate and will be familiar to both novice and experienced operators
  • Automatic shifting of the 4-speed forward, 3-speed reverse transmission occurs on the fly for ease of operation for operators of all skill sets
  • Optional front locking differential provides additional traction in muddy or softer ground conditions
  • In-cab adjustable boom-height kickout, return to carry, and return to dig can be easily activated from the convenient SSM, speeding production in repetitive applications
  • Clutch cutoff allows for the delivery of full engine power to the hydraulics when crowding a pile and using the brakes which increases cycle times and productivity. A sensor integrated into the brake pedal cues the cutoff in the transmission to occur during braking so operators don’t have to press a button to disengage the transmission
