2026 John Deere 331P

The John Deere 331P Compact Track Loader represents the latest evolution in large-frame compact track loader design, featuring a completely redesigned sealed and pressurized one-piece cab that delivers superior operator comfort and productivity. Powered by a Yanmar 4TNV94FHT turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 98 gross horsepower and 95 net peak horsepower, this machine offers impressive power density in a compact frame that can easily transport between jobsites. The 331P features a vertical-lift boom design that combines exceptional height and reach at the top of the lift path with outstanding stability, achieving a height to hinge pin of 11 feet and a rated operating capacity of 3,150 pounds at 35% tipping load. With 11,000 pounds of bucket breakout force using a foundry bucket, this CTL can handle the most demanding material handling and grading applications. The machine operates on smooth-ride long-life rubber tracks with steel inserts, available in standard 450mm or optional 400mm widths, providing ground pressures as low as 4.6 psi with the standard track configuration while delivering 11,500 pounds of tractive effort. Standard electrohydraulic ISO-pattern joystick controls allow for customized machine operations, with optional 4-way switchable controls including EH foot control, H-pattern, and combination ISO and foot controls. The hydraulic system delivers 25 gpm standard flow with an optional high-flow package increasing output to 39 gpm at 3,450 psi, enabling operation of over 100 John Deere work tool attachments through the standard Quik-Tatch coupler system. The premium cab features a larger glass area for enhanced visibility, low-effort joystick controllers with adjustable performance modes, a 25-button sealed-switch module with keyless start and anti-theft system, and a deluxe LCD monitor with comprehensive machine diagnostics. Optional upgrades include an 8-inch touchscreen display with Attachment Manager that provides pre-programmed optimal flow and pressure settings for John Deere attachments, heated and ventilated high-back cloth air-ride seat, AM/FM radio with Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming, air conditioning with heater/defroster, LED lighting package, rearview camera, and Surround View system. The optional EH boom performance package automates repetitive functions including bucket self-level up and down, return to dig, return to carry, and boom-height kick-out to maximize efficiency in cyclic applications. Advanced technology features come standard including JDLink wireless communication system for remote machine monitoring, John Deere Operations Center connectivity for analyzing critical machine data and tracking utilization, and Connected Support for proactive issue resolution. Optional Onboard Grade Indicate provides real-time readouts of cross-slope and mainfall with ±0.5% accuracy, displaying both absolute values relative to a flat plane and relative values to existing grades. The machine features a two-speed transmission with optional settings providing travel speeds of 8.5 mph in high range and 5.5 mph in low range, along with automatic spring-applied hydraulically released wet-disc park brakes. Extended runtime is enabled by a 29.5-gallon fuel tank and increased DEF capacity, while ground-level service access through the tilt-up hood simplifies daily maintenance of the dipstick, filters, and fluid fills. The undercarriage utilizes five triple-flange smooth-ride all-steel track rollers per side and two double-flange smooth-ride all-steel track idlers per side for enhanced durability and ride quality. Safety features include a standard ROPS/FOPS certified operator structure meeting ISO 3471 and ISO 3449 standards, in-cab activated boom lock, triple-interlock operator-presence control system, backup alarm, and automatic engine/hydraulic shutdown protection. Operating weight with standard 450mm tracks is 11,914 pounds, with overall dimensions of 12 feet 7 inches in length with bucket, 6 feet 9 inches in width with standard tracks, and 7 feet 3 inches in height to top of ROPS. The 331P delivers dump height of 8 feet 10 inches and dump reach of 36.2 inches with a construction bucket, making it ideal for loading tandem-axle dump trucks, filling hoppers, placing pallets, and handling heavy materials across construction, landscaping, agriculture, site development, and snow removal applications where power, precision, and operator comfort are essential.
