New 316GR Skid Steer

John Deere 316GR equipped with an auger

John Deere 316GR equipped with bale spear

John Deere 317G equipped with pallet forks

John Deere 318G equipped with a rock grapple

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

• Increased auxiliary hydraulic flows and power over previous models enable greater performance while running attachments
• 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 317G and 318G allows for higher attachment reach and increased stability

For additional information on attachments and compatibility, check out the John Deere attachments guide.

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

316GR skid steer with radial lift

318G maneuvering within a small area

Small frame G-Series machines accomplish heavy work in smaller spaces without sacrificing performance.

• Multiple tire and track options enable G-Series machines to slim down and fit through narrow openings
• 316GR and 318G have a width below 1600.2 mm (63 in.)
• Two-pin attachment on the 316GR 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

Small-Frame Skid Steer

Swing-out rear door and hydraulic cooler

Enhanced serviceability features and ease of access to daily and preventative maintenance points ensures that these tasks do not significantly cut into working hours

• 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 and swing the operator’s station up in less than two minutes for easy drivetrain reach. 
• Redesigned Quik-Tatch™ system optimized for effortless reach to grease zerks
• Optional JDLink™ provides machine data and health alerts to help decrease costly downtime

Deluxe lighting package with light-emitting diode (LED) side-lighting

Low-sloped rear hood

Rearview camera attachment

Removable glass windows from inside the cab

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
• 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
