John Deere Product Details
904 X-Tier
Unlock Next-Gen Power and Control with E‑Drive
Deere’s Electric Variable Transmission (EVT) delivers smooth, responsive power and simplified operation, improving controllability and reducing operator effort in high-demand loading applications.
Move More Material per Pass with High-Capacity Design
With larger bucket configurations and production-class performance, the 904 X‑Tier is engineered to increase bucket fill and maximize tons moved per cycle in quarry and aggregate operations.
Vision and Detection Systems
Active jobsites present many operational challenges, including multiple machines, crew members, and bystanders. The John Deere Advanced Vision System (AVS) and SmartDetect™ can help enhance operator awareness to confidently navigate busy work areas.
