Deere & Company has updated the rubber tracks on its G-Series compact track loaders with a more durable design. The company improved the metal core adhesion process it uses in the manufacture of the tracks. The tracks also include new steel cords that reduce bending stress.

“When updating the rubber tracks for the G-Series compact track loaders, we focused on key areas,” says John Deere Aftermarket Marketing Manager Austin Verbeck. “From updated manufacturing processes to the reinforced steel cord, the result is a durable solution that is built to power through any jobsite.”

The tracks also follow a new, arched roller path that extends service life by ejecting debris more efficiently. Both replacement tracks and the tracks on new machines are covered with a new 18-month/1,500-hour warranty on material defects and workmanship.

G-Series Track Loaders

Deere’s G-Series of small-frame track loaders includes the 317G, 325G, 331G, and 333G. They’re ideal for many applications in the landscaping, agricultural, material handling, and construction industries. They can use a variety of attachments including mulchers, brooms, trenchers, and more.

G-Series track loaders range from 61 to 96.6 net horsepower (45 to 72 kilowatts) and can lift 2,125 to 3,700 pounds (965 to 1,680 kilograms), or more with optional counterweights. The mighty CTLs can bring 4,250 to 9,250 lbs (1,930 to 4,200 kg) of bucket breakout force to bear on stubborn, embedded loads. Maximum lift heights for the series range from 121 to 132 in. (3.07 to 3.35 meters).

The G-Series’ auxiliary hydraulic lines are routed through the inside of the boom for protection from damage. Various metal components have a new zinc flake coating for corrosion and wear resistance. Deere covers the loaders with a 2-year/2,000-hour full-machine warranty.

Interior Design

Inside the pressurized cab of a G-Series unit, the operator enjoys excellent visibility and comfort. The air-conditioning system has been redesigned to allow less debris intake. Options include a rearview camera and a radio with Bluetooth support. For fleet management, Deere now offers its JDLink telematics service with a new five-year subscription period.
