John Deere is proud to introduce a Line-of-Sight Remote Control System for Small-, Mid-, and select Large-Frame skid steers and compact track loaders — including the versatile 325G. This innovative field kit empowers operators to control their machines remotely, enhancing safety, comfort, and efficiency across a wide range of jobsite conditions.
Why Choose Remote Control?
The remote control field kit offers a host of benefits that make everyday tasks easier and safer:
- Enhanced Safety: Operators can stay out of hazardous environments by controlling the machine from a safe distance.
- Reduced Fatigue: Ideal for extreme debris, unsanitary conditions, or heavy-duty applications, this system minimizes physical strain.
- Improved Visibility: A remote vantage point offers better sightlines to attachments and obstacles.
- Convenient Startup: Remote ignition is perfect for hard-to-access machines.
- Streamlined Workflow: Eliminates the need for repeated repositioning of operators or machines in tight spaces.
- Fewer Personnel Required: Reduces the need for a second operator or spotter on certain jobsites.
Ideal Applications for Remote Control
This system is especially beneficial in environments where safety, visibility, and operator comfort are critical.
Hazardous Sites
Remote control is a game-changer for locations that pose risks to operators or machines:
- Demolition sites (ground level or elevated floors)
- Shipping yards and barge cleanouts near water
- Highwall or conveyor belt cleanouts in aggregate operations
- Nuclear or chemical facilities
- Military and law enforcement scenarios
Extreme Debris & Unsanitary Conditions
When visibility is compromised or health risks are present, remote control boosts productivity and safety:
- Road building (cold planning, sweeping)
- Land management (mulching, cutting, shredding)
- Livestock rendering plants
- Waste and recycling facilities
Other Productivity-Driven Applications
Even in less hazardous settings, remote control enhances precision and efficiency:
- Irrigation trenching with critical line-of-sight needs
- Forestry (right-of-way clearing, fire breaks, stump removal)
- Flatbed loading/unloading with improved fork visibility
Intuitive Control at Your Fingertips
The John Deere-branded controller is designed for ease of use, delivering full machine functionality and diagnostics directly to the operator:
- On-Screen Machine Info: View critical data like engine speed, battery level, fuel status, and diagnostic trouble codes.
- Remote Functions: Start/stop, park brake, hydraulic enable/disable, and throttle control — all accessible remotely.
- Ergonomic Controls: Operate machine movement, boom, bucket, and attachments with intuitive inputs.
Whether you’re working in high-risk environments or simply looking to improve operational efficiency, the Line-of-Sight Remote Control System for the 325G Compact Track Loader is a smart investment in safety, productivity, and innovation.
