Industry-exclusive Articulation Plus™ steering system combines 30 degrees of articulation with 10 additional degrees of rear-wheel steer. Reduced articulation angle design delivers tighter turns that are more stable, especially with large loads, than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus.
Loader arm and coupler design improves the lifting path to near parallel — for better load-carrying capability than previous models. This keeps the load more level from ground to truck-bed height and helps the operator focus on the task instead of on making manual adjustments.
With a standard top speed of over 23 mph, the 244 P-Tier can make some pretty quick moves on and between jobsites.
Load-sensing AutoShift powertrain technology eliminates productivity-interrupting manual shifts between gear ranges while providing smooth direction changes.
Low-effort joystick controls boom and bucket, forward-neutral-reverse (F-N-R), and differential lock. Standard mini-joystick controls auxiliary hydraulic functions including optional high flow. Adjustable-height monitor lets operators keep close watch on vital machine functions.
Standard ride control cushions the boom during travel over rough and uneven terrain, reducing material spillage from the bucket and minimizing site cleanup.
