JOHN DEERE 724J WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The John Deere 724J Wheel Loader is a heavy-duty construction machine designed for efficient material handling. It features a turbocharged, charge air-cooled 6-cylinder 6081H engine delivering 250 hp (186 kW) at 1800 rpm with a torque rise of 49%, optimized for high-performance operation. The machine has an operating weight of 51,057 lbs (23,159 kg) and a fuel capacity of 100 gallons (379 liters). Its countershaft-type powershift transmission provides 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, with a max forward speed of 22 mph (35 kph) and reverse speed of 55.5 mph (89 kph). The loader’s bucket capacity is 4.8 cubic yards (heaped) and 4.2 cubic yards (struck), with a width of 10 feet (3 m). It achieves a dump clearance of 9.5 feet (3 m) at max lift and a hinge pin max height of 13.6 feet (4 m), with a reach of 3.8 feet (1 m) at max lift and dump. Dimensions include a wheelbase of 10.5 feet (3 m), ground clearance of 1.5 feet (0.46 m), total length of 27.5 feet (8 m), and height to the top of the cab of 11.2 feet (3 m). Steering is supported by a 26° rear axle oscillation and an 18.1-foot (5.5 m) turning radius. The hydraulic system includes a 31-gallon (117 liters) fluid capacity with load control times of 6 seconds to raise, 1.2 seconds to dump, and 30 seconds to lower the bucket. Electrical systems operate at 24 volts with an 80-amp alternator. The 724J combines robust power, substantial lifting capacity, and precise control for versatile use in construction and material handling.
