317 P COMPACT TRACK LOADER

With over 100 attachments offered in the John Deere portfolio you can make the most out of your skid steer or compact track loader by equipping it with several popular attachments.

• A John Deere attachment on a John Deere machine offers an integrated operator experience designed to maximize efficiency and productivity
• Optional electrically actuated Quik-Tatch^TM enables some attachment connecting to take place within the cab reducing the need for exiting and re-entering the cab to manually connect attachments.
• Creep control (offered within the Joystick Performance Package) allows operators to perform precise tasks that require full hydraulic flow and power while running at lower travel speeds
• Vertical lift configuration on the 317 P-Tier and 318 P-Tier allows for higher attachment reach and increased stability

To maximize productivity and comfort,  the cab and controls have been designed to keep operators comfortable through long work days.

• 25 percent more cab volume than the E-Series including the addition of a lap bar
• The sealed and pressurized cab reduces outside noise and keeps the dust out
• Optional air ride heated seat provides customers working throughout the cold winter months increased comfort
• Optional Bluetooth radio enables streaming of content from a cell phone.
• Optional International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-H switchable controls with electrohydraulic (EH) Joystick Performance Package allows operators to easily select the pattern they prefer

Overview

Electrohydraulic (EH) controls offer increased functionality to allow operators to customize machine operations based on preference. The EH controls also require less operator effort and are not as fatiguing over longer periods of operation compared to manual linkages. With fewer physical components and maintenance requirements, EH control machines provide operators with increased productivity across a variety of job applications.

Benefits

• EH tracking is adjusted electronically from the monitor and can be tuned while machine is in operation
• Joysticks provide low effort fingertip operations and can be modified for each control style or application
• Anti-stall engine software prevents operator from unintentionally stalling the engine under heavy loads
• True Auto-Idle automatically idles engine when static for 5 seconds to save on fuel and component wear
• EH machines offer differential steering, an exclusive John Deere feature that speeds up the outside turning of tires/tracks for faster jobsite maneuvering
• EH control transition unlocks design improvements to reduce cab noise, significantly lower vibration, and offer better cab sealing, pressurization, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) performance

Small frame skid steers and compact track loaders accomplish heavy work in smaller spaces without sacrificing performance.

• Multiple tire and track options enable machines to slim down and fit through narrow openings
  • 316 P-Tier and 318 P-Tier have a width below 1600.2 mm (63 in.)
• Two-pin attachment on the 316 P-Tier radial lift means fewer pivot points and less side-to-side movement
• Clear sightline to the cutting edge and bucket corners instills confidence when working in close quarters
• Differential steering allows the operator to maintain speed and traction when pushing through a turn

The size and design of small frame skid steers and compact track loaders makes them easy to transport, providing owners and operators with a machine containing many features of larger machines but with a more compact footprint.

• Integrated and easily accessible tie-downs in the front and rear of machines ensure safe and secure transport between job sites and allow for faster securing without the need to crawl under or over the machine
• Operating weight between 2441.7 kg - 3143.8 kg (6542 lb - 8423 lb) enables lightweight trailer transport behind a standard pickup truck
• Two-speed power train option on the 316 P-Tier and 318 P-Tier delivers travel speeds up to 16.3 km/h (10.1 mph) allowing operators to move from one side of the job site to the other much faster

Designed with maintenance in mind, serviceability features and ease of access to daily and preventative maintenance points ensure that these tasks can be done efficiently, leaving more time for getting the job done.

• Swing-out rear door enables easy access to daily service checkpoints and cooling system
• The hood tilts up for ground level access to the dipstick, fuel and fluid filler necks, filters, and see-through reservoirs
• A single person can lock the boom to safely exit the cab, and swing the operator’s station up in less than two minutes for easy drivetrain reach.
• Quik-Tatch™ system optimized for effortless reach to grease zerks
• JDLink™ provides machine data and health alerts to help decrease costly downtime

Enhanced visibility features increase jobsite awareness and allow operators to be as precise and productive as possible.

• Optional deluxe lighting package with light-emitting diode (LED) lamps and side lights provides increased visibility early in the morning or at night over the standard halogen package
• Clear sight from the seat to the tires when boom arms are raised, and great visibility to the cutting edges and Quik-Tatch^TM lock indicators when boom is lowered
• Optional rear view camera, low-sloped hood, and a high cross-tube on the upper-linkage result in unmatched rear visibility
• Removable glass windows from inside the cab ensure that windows can be easily and adequately cleaned to improve visibility
