    Overview

    Say goodbye to complexity and experience the next evolution in controllability with Deere’s EVT technology, delivering near instant response and power when needed in addition to simplified operation with a single pedal. Additionally, you can go further than before in eliminating tire slip and maximizing bucket fill with Pile Slip Assist which optimizes traction, reduces tire slip, and streamlines your operations for unparalleled productivity.

    Benefits
    • EVT enables more instantaneous responses and reduces the need for multiple operator inputs. Specifically there are many occasions when the use of only one foot pedal is needed to control engine rpms, acceleration, and braking.
    • Running the loader at a constant RPM is a common practice on X-Tier loaders which means that operators can realize constant hydraulic response when needed without having to manually adjust when operating.
      • Both of these features improves the capability of an expert operator and allows a novice operator to get up to speed quicker whether they have had previous experience running John Deere loaders or not.
      • The shortage for skilled labor is an ever-present issue that is faced on daily basis and the ease of use that can be achieved while running an X-Tier loader can help ease this burden on your operation.
    • Pile Slip Assist proactively enables differential lock ahead of pile engagement which can reduce tire slip, improve bucket fill and lower overall cycle times. This differs from the currently available, Auto Diff Lock solution which only engages after tire slip has been detected
    • This feature can reduce total cost of ownership through decreased tire wear which provides your operation a great financial benefit as tires can make up a substantial portion of operating costs over the life of the loader

  • Electric Variable Transmission (EVT) is a Sustainable Solution that Delivers Unmatched Performance Capabilities
    X-Tier Loader X-Tier Loader

    The John Deere designed and built Electric Variable Transmission (EVT) is an exclusive system across the globe providing performance capabilities that cannot be matched by other manufacturers. Benefit from a competitive and sustainable edge throughout the equipment's lifecycle, thanks to this system, delivering unmatched performance and advantages in ReLife, Maintenance, and Reliability that no other manufacturer can replicate. 

    How Does the Electric Variable Transmission Work?
    • The EVT transmission has a direct input path from the JD9 diesel engine which serves as the main power source behind these loaders, a similar setup on all John Deere loaders
    • Two electric motors/generator and an inverter are all housed on the EVT itself which allows the system to more efficiently manage torque, power to the ground, and ground speed based on operator demand
    • A torque converter is removed from the loader meaning this system provides a near unobstructed path from power to ground from engine to drivetrain
    How can the EVT improve my operation?
    • The EVT in the 744 X-Tier and 824 X-Tier loaders provides class leading fuel efficiency which means you can move more tons or yards of materials, while also burning less fuel. This also helps your operation to become more sustainable while not sacrificing profitability.
    • Standard mode is the default setting on the 744 X-Tier and 824 X-Tier loaders and is designed to deliver maximum fuel efficiency while maintaining high levels of productivity.
    • Performance Mode increases the base RPM level to maximize responsiveness and improve productivity for the most demanding applications
    • The new E-drive system setup helps you realize a 7 percent total cost of ownership lifecycle advantage over conventional drive machines through ReLife, Maintenance, and Reliability advantages
    Is this a reliable solution for the heavy demands of the applications I want to run in?
    • Reliability of electric components, proven by the 644 X-Tier and 944 X-Tier loaders, translates into total cost of ownership benefits. This means that while the machine may cost more up front, you can save money over the life of the machine through less downtime and more productivity.
