JOHN DEERE 824K-II HIGH LIFT WHEEL LOADER

The John Deere 824K-II High Lift is a mid-sized wheel loader engineered for material handling and loading applications. Powered by a Deere 6135H diesel engine, this machine delivers 293 net horsepower (218 kW) with impressive torque reserves reaching 57 percent, enabling consistent performance even under heavy loads on steep grades. The loader features a rated bucket capacity of 6.0 cubic yards (5 m³) with a maximum dump clearance of 11.9 feet (3 m) at full raise, providing excellent visibility and discharge height for efficient material transfer. Operating at 58,618 pounds (26,589 kg), the 824K-II High Lift maintains a low center of gravity and optimized fore-and-aft balance for exceptional stability and full-turn tipping-load capacity. The machine is equipped with load-sensing closed-center hydraulics delivering responsive boom and bucket functions, coupled with a powershift transmission for rapid acceleration and cycle optimization. Its full 80-degree articulation and responsive steering enable exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces, reducing cycle times. The loader rides on 26.5 R25 tires with a turning radius of approximately 47 feet, while hydraulic wet-disc brakes on all wheels ensure reliable stopping power. Standard features include self-adjusting wet-disc brakes, heavy-duty construction, and ride control systems to enhance operator comfort and productivity. The high-lift linkage configuration maximizes reach and dump clearance compared to standard Z-bar configurations, making this loader ideal for loading trucks or stockpiling materials requiring elevated discharge heights.
