1995 - 2000 JOHN DEERE 824K HIGH LIFT WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The John Deere 824K High Lift is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for superior performance in material handling and loading applications. Powered by a John Deere 6135H engine, it delivers a net power of 333 hp (248 kW), providing robust torque and lugging capability essential for demanding tasks. The loader features a rated bucket capacity of 5.25 cubic yards (4 m³), optimized for high volume material movement. Its dump clearance at maximum raise reaches 12 feet (4 meters), facilitating efficient loading into high-sided trucks or hoppers. With an operational weight of 57,618 lbs (26,135 kg), the 824K High Lift maintains excellent stability and traction through a durable drivetrain incorporating powershift transmission and locking differentials. Enhanced hydraulic systems and responsive steering allow for quick boom and bucket cycles, even on steep ramps, improving productivity and cycle times. The machine has a heavy-duty wet-disc brake system on all wheels for reliable stopping power. The high-lift linkage design extends reach and height capabilities, making this loader suitable for loading large dump trucks or stockpiling. Its low center of gravity and optimized fore-aft balance provide solid stability and tipping load capacities under heavy lifting conditions. Standard tire size is 26.5 R25, balancing mobility and ground contact for varied terrain operations. Overall, the John Deere 824K High Lift combines strong power, versatile bucket capacity, and advanced hydraulic and drivetrain technology for demanding construction, mining, and quarry applications, ensuring efficiency and durability in high-volume loading environments.
