John Deere Introduces Anti-Vibration Undercarriage System For 333G Compact Track Loader
John Deere’s new anti-vibration undercarriage system absorbs shocks on the 333G Compact Track Loader smooths transitions when cresting a hill, improves stability on uneven ground, and better retains material on the jobsite when traveling at higher speeds. The anti-vibration undercarriage system should also improve operator comfort. “By improving the operator experience, we're helping to maximize overall productivity and profitability on the jobsite,” says Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry.
What’s New?
The anti-vibration undercarriage system features suspensions at the front and rear of the track frame, which absorbs shocks using rubber isolators. The isolated undercarriage also includes a new bogie roller system to smooth transitions on undulating terrain by allowing for oscillating movement of the rollers. The oscillating bogie arm includes four new grease points that are easier to get to, cutting down on downtime for maintenance. Lastly, the new undercarriage system features an angled steel shield, which protects the hydrostatic hoses from debris that might otherwise damage them.
The 333G Up Close
Deere says the anti-vibration undercarriage system is now available on zig-zag bar tracks for the 333G Compact Track Loader. For reference, the 100-horsepower (75-kilowatt) machine features an operating capacity of 3,700 pounds (1,680 kilograms) and an operating weight of 12,100 lbs. (5,490 kg). The compact track loader, with no bucket, is 10.2 feet (3.1 meters) long and 6.7 ft (2 m) wide.
