John Deere Product Details
444 P-Tier
Electrohydraulic (EH) Controls
Electrohydraulic (EH) controls provide enhanced functionality, allowing operators to customize machine operations. This includes soft hydraulic stops and programmable joystick buttons. These features empower operators with increased productivity across various jobsite tasks.
Payload Weighing Systems
SmartWeigh delivers dynamic weighing without slowing down the job—no workflow interruption or boom reset needed. Easily viewed on the onboard monitor and integrated with the John Deere Operations Center, it’s available as a factory or field‑installed option.
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.
