John Deere G-tier 184 compact wheel loader

01 Sep 2022 CW Team

John Deere has released three new economical compact wheel loader models under its performance tiering strategy. The new 184, 204 and 304 G-tier are simplified machines designed to complete everyday tasks in applications such as site development, landscaping and snow removal.

According to John Deere, the G-tier compact wheel loaders are “practically equipped” and come at a lower cost. They are denoted by a “G” on the loader to the right of the model number. It is part of Deere's naming strategy change, which began in 2021 by labeling machines according to their performance tiers rather than the model's generation, such as an L.

The G-tiers come standard with a limited-slip differential, which automatically engages if one wheel loses traction. An optional ride-control reduces spillage from the bucket when traveling over rough terrain, reducing job site cleanup and improving ride quality. It can also be set to engage and disengage at certain speeds.

The brand-new 184 G-tier is the most economical model in the lineup, making compact wheel loaders more accessible to those looking to expand their fleets, Deere says.

Cabs on the G-tier models are offered in both a canopy or enclosed. Built with operator visibility in mind, the redesigned enclosed cab features a frameless, fully glass door, floor-to-ceiling front windshield and remounted machine display, providing a clear line of sight to surroundings. The right-side full glass window also swings out 180 degrees for better visibility.

Additional features include an adjustable steering column, slip-resistant steps and an optional LED lighting package. The cab includes amenities such as improved air conditioning and ergonomic low-effort controls. All three G-tier models feature ground-level service access and 30% larger fuel tanks. The cooling package minimises contamination from debris build-up, optimising efficiency and reducing clean-out time.
