to last multiple lifecycles. Since the 944 X-Tier doesn’t contain major components like axles and a transmission, those compo- nents will not need to be rebuilt or replaced like on a conven- tional-drive loader. A mid-life event for this loader within the 18 000 to 20 000-hour range costs approximately 50 to 60% less than rebuilding a traditional-drive machine. Commitment to sustainability The 944 X-Tier design reflects John Deere’s dedication to envi- ronmental responsibility. The E-Drive system not only improves fuel efficiency but also reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 31 kg per hour compared to traditional drive machines. Over 30 000 hours, this equates to approximately 930 000 kg less CO 2 emitted, underscoring our commitment to sustainable solutions Tier 4 final engine advantages Equipped with a Final Tier 4 engine, the 944 X-Tier meets stringent EPA emissions standards, achieving a - 80% reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to other tiers. These reductions are achieved through advanced technologies such as selective catalytic reduc- tion (SCR) and diesel particulate filters (DPF), resulting in cleaner exhaust and a significant decrease in pollutants that contribute to smog and respiratory issues. Industry-leading warranty The electric components on the 944 X-Tier’s electric drive are backed by an industry-leading 8-year, 20 000-hour warranty, providing peace of mind when investing in this machine. Renico Lombard, C&F Customer Product Support Manager for AME and SE Asia, emphasises, this extensive warranty reflects the trust we have in the 944 X-Tier advanced technology and our ded- ication to providing unparalleled support to our customers. It’s a testament to the machine’s quality and our commitment to ensuring its long-term performance in demanding environments. l
