The 304 G-tier compact wheel loader comes with new features such as increased travel speed, horsepower and a wider and taller machine frame. In addition, it retains many of its previous features that result in higher productivity in applications like site development, roadbuilding, agriculture, and snow removal

• Delivered as a response to feedback from our customer and dealer advocate groups, the travel speed of the 304 G-tier has increased to 18.6 MPH from 12 MPH seen on the 304L.  This enhancement allows the machine to accomplish tasks and move around jobsites quicker.
• To increase visibility and improve overall machine stability, the height of the 304 G-tier has been increased to 8’6” (2618mm) and the width to 6’5” (1960mm)
• Horsepower has been increased from 68hp to 74hp compared to the 304L
• Limited slip differential is standard and automatically engages if one wheel loses traction. 45 percent of the available torque will move to the wheel with traction to help machine better perform in soft underfoot conditions.
• Optional ride control reduces material spillage from the bucket when traveling over rough and uneven terrain by cushioning the boom. This will help in getting the material being moved to where it is intended to go, and will reduce site cleanup that may result from spilled material.
• The proven fuel-efficient hydrostatic transmission helps to keep the machine operating cost and noise to a minimum while still providing the productivity needed on the job.
• Optional Attachment Assist Package includes Proportional Mini-Joystick 3rd Function Control with Detent, Combined Creep Control and Throttle Lock, and Integrated Electrical Attachment Controls (3-Pin)
• The left pedal acts as a brake and inching pedal.  If the pedal is pushed all the way down, the machine comes to a complete stop.  If the pedal is pressed partially down, the machine will proportionally move slower and continue at that set speed.

• The 304 G-tier has a machine height of 2618 mm (8’ 7”) (when configured with a canopy) and a width of  1960 mm (6’ 5”) meaning it has a smaller footprint than articulation plus models and can perform effectively in smaller working areas.
• Options like canopy and limited optionality helps ensure these machines can be configured at an attractive price point but performance-enhancing optionality allows for greater machine capabilities when needed.
• Simple and intuitive functionality of the machine controls are a perfect fit for operators of all experience levels.

Whether the machine is equipped with a canopy or enclosed cab, the operator focused designs found within John Deere Compact Wheel loaders ensure operators are comfortable and productive all day.

• Ergonomic, low effort controls all on the right side, allow operators to work comfortably and more efficient.
• Machine display is redesigned and mount to the cab A-frame putting it in better line of sight for the operator while also allowing for location adjustability.
• Ample storage within the cab allows operators to keep personal items close and secure
• Adjustable steering column in enclosed cab units allows operators to easily move the steering wheel to a desired position to help increase operator comfort and allow easy ingress and egress.
• Canopy allows easy access to enter and exit the cab and improved and unobstructed visibility to the entire machine

• The Attachment Assist Package makes it easier for operators to get the most out of attachments by combining throttle lock and creep control to maintain full power at a set ground speed. It also includes 3rd function mini-joystick control for increased operator comfort.
• Optimized forks for compact wheel loaders offer improved visibility, increased capacity, and better durability.
• Standard auxiliary hydraulics allow the use of attachments like snow blowers or augers and by simply pressing a switch in the cab, operators can easily connect and disconnect attachments and enable them to have full function flow without having to manually press buttons throughout the day
• Optional Electrical Attachment control field kit enables additional attachments to be compatible with these machines
