644 P-Tier

Built for heavy work and long days, the John Deere 644 P‑Tier Mid‑Size Wheel Loader combines tailored performance packages, advanced technology, and impressive lift capacity to help operators move more material efficiently, while staying comfortable throughout the shift.

Key Features:
  • Net Power: 186 kW (249 hp) at 1,800 rpm
  • Operating Weight: 18 709–18 744 kg (41,246–41,324 lb.)
  • Bucket Capacity: 3.1–3.6 m³ (4.0–4.75 cu. yd.)
  • Height to Top of Cab 11 ft, 4 in. (3.45 m)
Electrohydraulic (EH) Controls
