Compact Track Loaders

The primary advantage of a compact track loader over a wheeled skid steer is how it distributes weight across the ground. Instead of concentrating the machine's mass on four tire contact patches, a CTL spreads load across the full length of both rubber tracks, significantly reducing ground pressure and the rutting and compaction that can accompany heavy wheeled equipment in soft or wet conditions.

For job sites dealing with spring rain, sandy coastal plain soils, or the clay-heavy central Georgia ground that turns soft after rain events, that difference is very real in practice. CTLs deliver better traction in these conditions, keeping you productive when a wheeled machine might be spinning, rutting the surface, or getting stuck. For any operation where finished surface appearance matters or where ground conditions are unpredictable, a CTL is the right tool.

John Deere's P-Tier compact track loader lineup covers rated operating capacities from 2,125 to 4,025 pounds across five current models. Below, you can compare the full lineup available at Blanchard Equipment:

All five models carry a 2-year/2,000-hour full-machine standard warranty. The 325 P-Tier is the newest addition to the lineup, filling the gap between the 317 and 331 with 74 gross horsepower and a 2,590-pound rated operating capacity. The 335 P-Tier is the most powerful compact track loader John Deere makes, and it is compatible with SmartGrade grade control technology for precision grading work on commercial and infrastructure projects.

The vertical-lift design on John Deere CTLs rises high and reaches far for quick, efficient loading into trucks and hoppers. Every model in the P-Tier lineup is compatible with more than 100 John Deere-built attachment models using the same quick-attach system, so you can switch from a bucket to an auger to a broom to a grapple without leaving the job site. Some of the most popular attachments for compact track loaders include:

Augers and Trenchers - Dig post holes, utility trenches, and irrigation lines quickly without bringing in a separate piece of equipment.

Angle Brooms - Keep job sites and driveways clean by sweeping material to the side as you drive through the work area.

Cutters, Shredders, and Mulchers - Handle brush clearing, vegetation management, and site prep on rural properties, roadsides, and construction sites.

Hydraulic Hammers - Break up concrete, asphalt, and rock on demolition and utility projects where a bucket alone will not get the job done.

Grapples - Handle loose material like brush, demolition debris, and scrap without the repeated passes that a standard bucket requires.

Bale Spears and Forks - Move and stage round bales, pallets, and other materials efficiently on agricultural and commercial properties.

John Deere Operations Center telematics is available for remote monitoring, service scheduling, and fleet management across your CTL fleet, which is especially useful for commercial operations running multiple machines across job sites.

John Deere compact track loaders are incredibly versatile and show up on a wide variety of job sites. Construction crews rely on them for site prep, grading, and material handling where soft ground conditions make wheeled equipment impractical or where finished surface protection is a priority. Landscaping contractors use them to work on finished turf and soft garden beds without leaving ruts. Agricultural operations put them to work for feedlot and barn maintenance, material handling around grain and commodity storage facilities, and support roles during planting and harvest. Timber operations in coastal Georgia and South Carolina also use CTLs with mulching attachments for site clearing and land management work.
