Moutere Logging - John Deere 624K Wheel Loader
This is the fourth John Deere 624K wheel loader for Moutere Logging. The success of these loaders has been due to the 624K doing the job so well. “They are built to do the work,” says Dale Ewers, owner Moutere Logging. It’s very obvious when you walk around them that they can be configured to suit any driver’s preferences. All the operators say how comfortable they are to operate and the boom suspension is just great, simple to modify on the run. Having the tough logger front end with front and back diff coolers lets us do what it takes to get the job done. They lift higher, turn tighter and have heaps of grunt to move around.
