John Deere 330 P-Tier
The John Deere 330 P-Tier is the large-frame vertical-lift skid steer that replaced the 330G in mid-2024, bringing a 98 hp turbocharged Yanmar, a brand-new one-piece pressurized cab, and a 25 GPM standard / 39 GPM optional high-flow hydraulic system. It keeps the 330G's 132-inch hinge pin height while adding a touchscreen display, EH dual self-leveling, and larger fuel and DEF tanks for full-day runtime.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The new one-piece sealed and pressurized cab is a generational leap over the 330G - operators report it's noticeably quieter, keeps dust out on dry sites, and the larger door and glass area improve visibility all around.
- ✓The 98 hp turbo Yanmar is about 7% stronger than the 330G's engine, and the extra grunt shows up when pushing full buckets uphill or running a cold planer without bogging.
- ✓The optional 39 GPM high-flow package runs mulchers and cold planers that used to require stepping up to a track machine, keeping a wheeled machine viable for attachment-heavy work.
- ✓Larger fuel and DEF tanks mean a genuine full day of work without refueling, which crews coming from the 330G notice immediately on production jobs.
- ✓The touchscreen display with onboard diagnostics, Bluetooth, and optional Surround View cameras brings the tech up to par with Cat's next-gen machines at a typically lower price point.
Cons
- ✗At 2,950 lbs the rated operating capacity is actually 50 lbs lower on paper than the 330G it replaced, which surprises buyers expecting the new generation to lift more.
- ✗Early-production machines are still working through software quirks, and some owners report touchscreen glitches and sensor faults that required dealer visits under warranty.
- ✗The price jumped meaningfully over the outgoing 330G, and a well-optioned unit with high-flow and the camera package pushes past $90k.
- ✗At nearly 10,000 lbs operating weight, transport requires a heavy trailer and a serious tow vehicle, so it's not a machine you casually move between jobs.
- ✗The Tier 4 Final aftertreatment brings DEF consumption and regen cycles, and owners in stop-and-go work report more frequent regens than they'd like.
- ✗Wheeled machines this size struggle on soft or muddy ground where the equivalent 331 P-Tier CTL keeps working, so buyers in wet climates often need to step up in price to tracks.

John Deere 324 P-Tier
The John Deere 324 P-Tier replaced the 324G - Deere's best-selling skid steer - in mid-2026 as the flagship of the mid-frame wheeled line. The 74 hp turbocharged Yanmar needs no DEF, the vertical-lift boom reaches a 126-inch hinge pin height, and the 2,690 lb rated capacity handles a full pallet of sod or block. EH ISO joystick controls are now standard, and the options list adds ride control, hydraulic self-leveling, a 32 GPM high-flow package, LED lighting, and a rearview camera that the G-Series never offered.

John Deere 334 P-Tier
The John Deere 334 P-Tier is Deere's most powerful skid steer ever, replacing the 332G with a 118 hp turbo Yanmar, a 4,000 lb rated operating capacity, and an optional 44 GPM high-flow system at 4,000 psi. It shares the new one-piece pressurized P-Tier cab and adds standard Attachment Manager, making it a purpose-built platform for cold planers, mulchers, and other hydraulically hungry attachments on wheels.

John Deere 320 P-Tier
The John Deere 320 P-Tier is the mid-frame vertical-lift wheeled skid steer that replaced the long-running 320G in mid-2026. It keeps the proven 69 hp Yanmar and 2,190 lb rated capacity while making EH ISO joystick controls standard and adding options the 320G never offered: ride control, hydraulic self-leveling, LED side lighting, a rearview camera, and a 30 GPM high-flow package. The sealed and pressurized cab, 10-foot-2-inch hinge pin height, and standard two-speed transmission make it a do-everything machine for construction, rental, and landscape crews.

John Deere 318 P-Tier
The John Deere 318 P-Tier is the small-frame vertical-lift wheeled skid steer that replaced the long-running 318G. It keeps the sub-63-inch width and pickup-towable weight that made the 318G a rental and landscaper staple, but adds the P-Tier's larger sealed cab, standard EH ISO joysticks, and options like ride control, self-leveling, and a rearview camera. The 65 hp turbo Yanmar meets Tier 4 Final with no DEF, and counterweight packages push rated capacity to 2,095 lbs for pallet work.

John Deere 316 P-Tier
The John Deere 316 P-Tier is the small-frame radial-lift wheeled skid steer that replaced the 316GR for the 2025 model year. At just 6,180 lbs it tows behind a standard pickup, and the heavy-duty tire option slims it to a 60-inch width for gates and interior work. The 65 hp turbo Yanmar needs no DPF or DEF headaches at this size, EH ISO joystick controls are standard, and new options like ride control, hydraulic self-leveling, and a rearview camera bring small-frame Deere up to date.

John Deere 325 P-Tier
The John Deere 325 P-Tier replaced the 325G, Deere's best-selling mid-frame compact track loader, keeping the 74 hp DEF-free Yanmar and 2,590 lb rated capacity while adding the P-Tier's roomier sealed cab, standard EH ISO joysticks, and optional high-flow hydraulics. It stays under the 75 hp Tier 4 threshold that avoids DEF, and the vertical lift path with a 10.5-foot hinge pin height loads tandem dump trucks cleanly - the all-around configuration that made the 325G a landscaper and rental favorite.
