Description

Increased auxiliary hydraulic flows and power over previous models enable greater performance while running attachments
Optional electrically actuated Quik-TatchTM 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

25 percent more cab volume than the E-Series including the addition of a lap bar
The sealed and pressurized cab reduces outside noise and keeps the dust out
Optional air ride heated seat provides customers working throughout the cold winter months increased comfort
Optional Bluetooth radio enables streaming of content from a cell phone.
Optional International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-H switchable controls with electrohydraulic (EH) Joystick Performance Package allows operators to easily select the pattern they prefer
Differential steering allows the operator to maintain speed and traction when pushing through a turn
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
