Miller divides Deere CWLs into two groups – the 204L and 304L in one and the 244K-II and 324K in the other. In addition to Articulation Plus steering, the 244K-II and 324K have other standard features, such as a return-to-dig mode and an enclosed cab. The 204L and 304L are offered as simpler, lower-cost machines with limited electronics and an open ROPS cab as standard. "This is in response to customer interest in simpler ma- chines that are easier to service and have lower initial costs," says Miller. Although the lack of electronics precludes JDLink on these models, features such as ride control are avail- able on all four. Ride control relies on cylinder damping, not electronics. It is on/off on the 204L and 304L, and on/off/auto on the 244K-II and 324K, with the auto mode engaged accord- ing to travel speed. ® A I R I N N OVAT E D TM VMAC EquipWorld_March18_VR40.pdf 1 2/8/2018 1:43:39 PM Untitled-20 1 2/9/18 8:52 AM A 73-horsepower Deutz engine powers the Wacker Neuson 8085 AWS all- wheel-steer, all-wheel-drive compact wheel loader.
