John Deere 524 P-Tier vs. Komatsu WA200-8

posted on Monday, July 24, 2023 in Blogs


See how the John Deere 524P-tier stacks up to the Komatsu WA200-8

John Deere released the P-tier wheel loaders in 2021 which replaced the previous L series. The 524 P-tier can be counted on to produce at high levels, day in and day out. Advanced features deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, comfort, and service life in demanding high-production applications. Programmable, ergonomic EH controls and multiple linkage options allow the P-tier loaders to fit your operation needs. 

The John Deere Difference:

  • The 524 P-tier offers floor-to-ceiling front glass vs. the WA200-8 where the glass doesn't extend to the floor, reducing ground visibility as well as the hood and exhaust cause limited rear visibility. 
  • The 524 P-tier offers greater Full Turn Tip Load then the WA200-8 which provides superior stability.
  • The 524 P-tier features an exclusive Quad-Cool™ system as well as an optional reversing fan to keep engine heat isolated for increased efficiency and durability.
  • Enhanced Production buckets with weld-on skid shoes, integrated spill guard, and curved cutting edges for enhanced material retention.
  • Exclusive upgradeable SmartWeigh™ technology for increased productivity.
