John Deere 330 p skid steer
Skid Steers

The brand new and completely redesigned cab on John Deere large frame skid steers and compact track loaders was designed with feedback from operators to provide them with superior comfort throughout the day which enable them to maximize productivity on jobsites.

• The new cab is a larger than the G-Series cab and is one piece design that is completely sealed and pressurized.  This means that outside noise will be lowered and that the cab is better protected from the elements like dust, debris and water.
• A brand-new seat comes standard with large frame Skid Steers and CTL’s as well.  Customers and dealers will also have a choice to upgrade this seat to be both heated and ventilated.  This means increased comfort can be maintained during both long hot summer days and frigid winters.
• An optional new 20-cm (8-in.) touch screen display (standard on 334 and 335 P-Tier) can be equipped on large frame machines.  This screen, larger than that found on G-Series machines, enables a better user experience for viewing machine operating parameters and settings and comes packed with technology features that enhance overall operation
• Overall Visibility has been increased by 20% compared to G-Series machines.  This has been realized through the addition of glass built into the larger cab.  Operators will be able to see out of all sides of the machine much easier which can provide them with increased confidence when completely tasks.
• Hands free Bluetooth with calling capabilities is another new option.  Previously, Bluetooth capabilities on G-Series machines was limited to streaming only.  This updated feature allows easy communication with others on the jobsite or those in the office.
• Repositioning of key machine controls has been ergonomically optimized so that minimal effort is needed by operators to run the machine just how they like.
  • Rocker switches found in G-Series machines have been removed and a new 25 button sealed switch module has taken there place meaning key tasks like starting and stopping the machine, adjusting machine controls, and turning on lights can be done in one spot.
  • Both the right- and left-hand joysticks have also been redesigned.  The joysticks contain more ergonomically placed rollers and buttons that make running attachments a breeze.  The joysticks can be optioned up to be adjusted based on the operator for more comfortable wrist and arm positioning.

Technology solutions on John Deere™ skid steers and compact track loaders can help jobs get completed ahead of schedule and in a safe manner.  This means that more jobs can be bid and worked throughout the year and that operators will be more confident working on sites when other people and objects are around.

• Large Frame Skid Steers and Compact Track Loaders (CTL’s) will continue to come equipped with a JDLink™ modem and Operations Center as standard features.  JDLink data is transferred to the John Deere Operations Center which allows customers and dealers to view key machine information such as fleet utilization, maintenance, and machine location.
• New Attachment Manager comes on all machines equipped with the new Touchscreen display.  This feature takes guess work out of an operator’s hands by coming pre-programmed with optimal flow and pressure settings for John Deere attachments.  An operator can simply select which attachment they are running, and the machine can ensure adequate flow and pressure are provided for the best performance.
  • This feature also features the ability to save attachment preferences based on operator demand while also limiting the enablement of non-optimal parameters.
  • Additionally, preprogrammed joystick layouts can be viewed on the monitor that change depending on attachments but designed by operators for operators with ease of use in mind
• Brand new optional Surround View provides 270 degrees of bird’s eye view visibility above the machine. By utilizing cameras on both the left and right side of the view in addition to a rear camera, images are stitched together and viewable on a dedicated 20-cm (8-in.) display conveniently located within line of sight of the operator in the seat of the machine.
• New optional EH Dual Self Leveling feature ensures that bucket or forks stay parallel to the ground throughout the boom raise and lower cycles.  This feature enables operators to focus on tasks at hand like truck and trailer loading by not having to control both boom up and down and keep the bucket or fork angle parallel to the ground. 
• Slope Indicate, formerly known as Onboard Grade Indication on large frame G-series machines, is included on machines equipped with the new touchscreen display.  This feature displays the cross-slope (roll) and main-fall (pitch) of the machine in either degrees or percent.  This allows operators to use a relative benchmark to assist in maintaining a desired grade.

More is being demanded out of skid steers and compact track loaders whether they are pushing snow, working in a nursery, or hauling material. The 330 and 331 P-Tier machines come with more horsepower compared to their G-Series counterparts to help customers continue to push their machines to the limit. Additionally, these machines can be equipped with an array of technology and productivity enhancing features.

• With gross horsepower of 98, a 7% increase over the 330 G-Tier and 331 G-Tier, these P-Tier machines allow operators in segments like site development, landscaping, and agriculture to have the power they need to go up against the most demanding tasks.
• To enable machines to run for a full day's worth of work, even in the most demanding applications, the fuel and DEF tanks have been increased in size.
• Brand new features including a heated and ventilated seat, touchscreen display, handsfree Bluetooth calling, adjustable controls, and EH Dual Leveling can be added to increase operator comfort, visibility, and overall experience.
• Additional productivity enhancing offerings like Joystick and Boom Performance, Ride Control, Deluxe LED Lights, Reversing Fan, High Flow Hydraulics, and Heavy-Duty Grill can be added as well

Attachments continue to gain in popularity, especially those that require additional hydraulic flow and pressure.  To answer customer’s demands for these attachments, not only has John Deere built new machines to run these attachments more efficiently, but we’re also adding attachments to our lineup that are perfectly suited for the large frame P-Tier machines.

• To round out the existing lineup of new John Deere cold planers powered by Wirtgen Cutting Technology, a larger CP40G Cold Planer will be available that is only compatible with the 333, 334, and 335 P-Tier machines. 
• Vegetation management has seen robust growth in recent years with attachments needing to take on the clearing of and increasing amount of acreage.
  • The new MK76 Mulching Head will be optimized to work with the 334 and 335 P-Tier machines to clear stringy, fibrous, dense, and fast growing cycle vegetation often found in many parts of the southeast US.
  • Building off the lineup of existing mulching heads, a new MH72D will be added to the attachment lineup offering a larger mulching head solution for customers.
• New Attachment Manager comes on all machines equipped with the new Touchscreen display.  This feature takes guess work out of an operator’s hands by coming pre-programmed with optimal flow and pressure settings for John Deere attachments.  An operator can simply select which attachment they are running, and the machine can ensure adequate flow and pressure are provided for the best performance.
  • This feature also features the ability to save attachment preferences based on operator demand while also limiting the enablement of non-optimal parameters.
  • Additionally, preprogrammed joystick layouts can be viewed on the monitor that change depending on attachments but designed by operators for operators with ease of use in mind
• To assist operators with running these new attachments, the machine controllers and layout have been redesigned to ensure running all attachments can be done ergonomically and at an operator fingertip by removing any need to remove hands from the joystick to enable or disable certain functionalities
• Many of the current attachments in the John Deere lineup will also be compatible with the new lineup of large frame P-Tier skid steers and compact track loaders.  See the future update to the Attachment Guide for more information.

An overhaul of the John Deere™ Quik-Tatch coupler means customers can experience less downtime and continue to easily switch back and forth between attachments. 

• The redesigned Quik-Tatch coupler will comprise of a straight, flag pin design which replaces the tapered pin design found in G-Series couplers.  Additionally, a clevis style plat and boss will be added for further long-term durability.
• Bucket rollback stop surface area has been increased by 46% compared to G-Series design to help extend the life of the Quik-Tatch components
• Increased pawl retraction on new Quik-Tatch couplers compared with that on G-Series couplers means that chances of inadvertently catching on to attachments when swapping is not occurring.
• Improved debris shedding capabilities can be realized through extra relief pathways that help debris fall more easily away from the Quik-Tatch instead of getting caught between cylinders or on top of the coupler itself.
• Thicker and higher strength steel, especially in the front plate, has been added for increased longevity in applications that are running demanding attachments.
• Common assembly design makes it easy to switch between a manual and electric Quik-Tatch over time
