John Deere G-Series Small Frames
312GR / 314G / 316GR / 317G / 318G
More Choices, More Ability
John Deere G-Series skid steers and compact track loaders (CTLs) are designed to meet your needs, offering a range of models with varying capabilities and configurations. Whether you need a basic skid steer or a powerful compact track loader, the G-Series provides options for every job.
Purpose-Built For All Your Purposes
The G-Series machines are built with operator inspiration and John Deere innovation. After listening to user feedback, John Deere developed five compact models in vertical-lift and radial-boom configurations. These machines feature a look and feel similar to their larger siblings, with enhanced specifications and a wider variety of options to suit your work style and location.
Small Machines. Big Results
The G-Series lineup includes entry-level models like the 312GR and 314G, which offer a choice of radial- or vertical-lift booms, manual controls, and fuel-efficient diesels for ease of operation and ownership. For more power and options, the 316GR and 318G provide enhanced features like joystick controls, air conditioning, and ride control. The 317G CTL offers superior pushing power and breakout force for demanding tasks.
Key Features:
- Lightweight Transport: Weighing from 5,995 to 8,195 lb., these compacts are easy to trailer.
- Generous FT4 Power: Turbocharged 2.1-L EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV diesels offer power and torque.
- Narrow Machine Widths: Enable easy transport between jobsites.
- Dig, Pry, Push: Ample axle torque and increased boom/bucket breakout forces for efficient digging and loading.
- Tread Lightly: Optional 15.8-in. tracks on the 317G CTL reduce ground pressure for work in soft conditions.
- Space Commander: Narrow widths allow easy maneuverability and transport.
- Pick up the pace: Two-speed options on the 316GR and 318G provide faster transport speeds.
Elevated. By Design.
The G-Series compact loaders offer enhanced ability and comfort. Larger entryways and doors make it easy to get in and out. The interior provides ample foot- and legroom, and a quieter cabin allows for better concentration. Operators will appreciate the comfortable sculpted seat and clear sightlines to the bucket and jobsite.
Enhanced Cab Space: 25% more cab space compared to previous models.
Heads-up operation: Overhead panel with LCD monitor provides machine information and diagnostics.
Push-button convenience: Optional sealed-switch module for keyless start and access to various machine functions.
Safety first: Features like an in-cab boom lock and a triple-interlock system enhance operator safety.
Your controls, your way: Options include foot pedals, manual hand controls, and electrohydraulic (EH) joysticks.
Four-season comfort: Air conditioning is available for year-round operation.
Enhanced visibility: Optional LED light packages provide superior illumination.
Riding high: Adjustable high-back sculpted seats offer comfort and support, with heated air-ride seats available.
Light Weight Agility. Heavy-Duty Durability
John Deere G-Series machines incorporate durability and reliability features from larger models. They are equipped with rugged Yanmar engines, sealed electrical connectors, O-ring face-seal hydraulic fittings, and large coolers. An automatic shutdown system helps prevent overheating or low fluid issues.
Heavy-duty drivetrains: Oil-bathed final-drive chains and beefed-up drive sprockets ensure long-term durability.
Fewer refills: Generous tank capacity and fuel-efficient diesels allow for extended operation between fill-ups.
Big biceps: Large cross-section boom arms and heavy-duty upper links provide stamina for tough tasks.
Chill out: Large coolers enhance heat rejection for superior performance in severe conditions.
Anti-leak fittings: O-ring face-seal hydraulic fittings minimize oil leaks.
Sealed connections: Protect switches and electrical connectors from moisture and dirt.
Give yourself a brake: Spring-applied, hydraulically released wet-disc park brakes require no adjustment.
8+ Hours of run time between refills
Increase Utilization
With over 100 available Worksite Pro™ attachments, your G-Series Skid Steer or CTL can be configured for a wide variety of tasks. The universal Quik-Tatch™ system allows for quick attachment changes.
Bucket choices abound: Various bucket types are available for different applications, including grading-heel buckets.
Grab and go: Grapples with dual-action tongs provide superior material retention.
Snow attachments: Equip your machine for snow clearing with snow blowers, snow pushers, and angle brooms.
Roadwork made easy: Attachments like angle brooms, vibratory rollers, and cold planers are available for flatwork.
Landscape add-ons: Rotary tillers, planetary augers, and pallet forks are among the landscape attachments.
Busybody: The 317G CTL's rubber track undercarriage and universal Quik-Tatch are ideal for a wide range of tasks.
Farm hands: Utility grapples, scrapers, and bale spears are suitable for agricultural chores.
100+ Models of Worksite Pro Attachments
We Sweat The Details So You Don't Have To
John Deere G-Series machines are designed for simple serviceability and minimal maintenance.
Simple serviceability: Swing-out rear door provides ground-level access to daily service checkpoints and cooling system components. The ROPS can be tilted for major component access.
Minimal maintenance: Redesigned Quik-Tatch system is optimized for effortless grease zerk access.
Full-tilt service: The rear door swings open and the hood tilts up for convenient ground-level access to dipsticks, fluid fillers, and filters. The operator's station also swings up for drivetrain access.
Easier cooler cleanout: Hinged rear door and hydraulic cooler swing open for easier trash removal.
Simplified checks: Color-coded handles and caps, along with see-through reservoirs, simplify fluid checks.
Easy cleanup: Convenient floor access aids in quick cleanout.
Quick changes: Spin-on remote-mounted engine oil and fuel filters allow for quick, mess-free changes.
Handy boom tie-down: Integrated boom tie-down allows easy access without crawling under the machine.
