Technical Description
The John Deere 724J WH High-Lift wheel loader is a robust machine designed for heavy-duty material handling with a breakout force of 23,075 lbs (10,467 kg). It features a 5 cubic yard (4 m³) heaped bucket capacity and a 4 cubic yard (3 m³) struck capacity, with a bucket width of 9.6 feet (3 m), optimizing both volume and reach. The loader offers a maximum dump clearance of 11.3 feet (3 m) and a hinge pin height at max lift of 15.2 feet (5 m), facilitating high-load operations. Its dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.7 feet, overall height to the cab top of 11.6 feet, a length with bucket on the ground of 27.8 feet, a wheelbase of 10.5 feet, and a width over tires of 9.5 feet, supporting maneuverability and stability on site.
Powering the 724J WH High-Lift is a turbocharged, charge-air-cooled 6-cylinder John Deere 6081H engine delivering 215 hp (160 kW) at 2200 rpm with a significant torque rise of 49% at 1300 rpm. The hydraulic system uses a variable axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 74 gallons per minute, facilitating cycle times with dump, raise, and lower times of 1.2, 6, and 3 seconds respectively. The system operates at a relief valve setting of 3600 psi.
Operating weight stands at 51,546 lbs (23,381 kg) with a static tipping load of 32,780 lbs, ensuring durability and jobsite stability. The transmission is an automatic powershift type with three forward and three reverse gears, max speeds of 14.7 mph forward and 15.5 mph in reverse. The wheel loader rides on 23.5-25 tires with a turning radius of 22.3 feet, suited for tight maneuvering. Fluid capacities include 100 gallons fuel, 31 gallons hydraulic system, and various engine and transmission fluids tailored for sustained operations. The rear axle allows 18° oscillation for enhanced terrain adaptation. This loader is engineered to deliver productivity, efficiency, and reliable performance for demanding construction and heavy material handling tasks.
