Payload Weighing for Articulated Dump Trucks
Optional onboard payload weighing for Deere ADTs provides overload protection, as well as the ability to track total tonnage and cycles. The system will even calculate carryback after the load is dumped for accurate production values. Mirror-mounted load indicators inform the operator when the truck is nearing capacity.
Payload Weighing for Wheel Loaders
The Payload Weighing System for John Deere wheel loaders is factory installed and fully supported by Meade Tractor. Onboard weighing creates more efficient loading and allows material movements to be tracked. Available for the 744L, 824L, and 844L Wheel Loaders, it’s fully integrated with our JDLink™ machine-monitoring system, so you can track and visualize payload data. Also available with a printer.
