Technical Description
The John Deere 624J High-Lift Wheel Loader is a robust construction machine designed for heavy-duty material handling. It features a turbocharged charge air cooled 6068H engine, delivering 198 hp at 1800 rpm with six cylinders and a displacement of 415 cubic inches. The loader has a breakout force of 25,884 lbs, allowing it to effectively handle tough loading tasks. Its bucket capacity is 3.5 cubic yards (heaped), with an 8.5 ft wide bucket, offering substantial material volume per load.
Dimensionally, the loader spans 27.1 ft in length with the bucket on the ground, an 11 ft height to the top of the cab, and a wheelbase of 10 ft. Ground clearance is 17.1 ft, and the machine weighs approximately 33,587 lbs, with a static tipping weight of 24,998 lbs. The dump clearance at maximum lift is 10.7 ft, and the hinge pin reaches a maximum height of 14.3 ft, facilitating high dumping positions.
The hydraulic system includes a variable axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 60 gallons per minute, a relief valve setting of 3,675 psi, and dump, lower, and raise times of 1.7, 2.8, and 5.8 seconds respectively. The operating voltage is 24 V supported by an 80-amp alternator. The loader’s transmission is an automatic powershift type with four forward and three reverse gears, enabling speeds up to 24.6 mph forward and 16 mph in reverse. Tires measure 20.5 R25, and the rear axle oscillation is 24 degrees, improving maneuverability on uneven terrain.
