The John Deere 744J Waste Handler High-Lift Wheel Loader is a robust, high-performance machine engineered for demanding waste handling and material moving applications. Powered by a turbocharged, charge air cooled John Deere E 6125H engine with a displacement of 766 cu in, it delivers 266 hp (198 kW) and a 40% torque rise for exceptional power and efficiency. The loader features a variable axial piston hydraulic pump with a flow capacity of 104 gal/min (394 l/min), enabling rapid cycle times: dump time is 1.5 seconds, lower time is 3 seconds, and raise time is 6.5 seconds, with a relief valve setting of 3200 psi. The bucket offers a heaped capacity of 6 cu yds (5 m³) and a struck capacity of 5.3 cu yds (4 m³), with a width of 10.7 ft (3 m) and a breakout force of 29,024 lbs (13,165 kg). At maximum raise, dump clearance reaches 11.3 ft (3 m). The high-lift configuration provides a hinge pin max height of 16.1 ft (5 m) and a reach at max lift and dump of 4.7 ft (1 m). The loader has a ground clearance of 1.7 ft (0.5 m), a wheelbase of 11.2 ft (3.4 m), and a width over tires of 126 ft (38.4 m). Operating weight is 66,926 lbs (30,357 kg), with a static tipping weight of 37,425 lbs (16,976 kg). The automatic powershift transmission offers 3 forward and 3 reverse gears, with a max forward speed of 13.1 mph (21 kph) and reverse speed of 19.3 mph (31 kph). Fluid capacities include 40 gal (151 l) for cooling and engine oil, 52 gal (197 l) for front and rear axle/diff, 38 gal (144 l) for hydraulics, and 30 gal (114 l) for transmission. The 24-volt electrical system is supported by an 80-amp alternator.
