High Visibility Coupler helps loader operators be more productive 
(06/06/2006)
With greater visibility to the work tool and an improved load path, the new John Deere High Visibility Coupler helps loader operators be more productive, and improves machine performance.
The design of the Hi-Vis coupler reduces the load on the locking components due to an improved load path, significantly enhancing the reliability. It also ensures that the attachment mounts closer to the machine, which improves the stability of the loader and enhances breakout performance. The Hi-Vis coupler also is compatible with some other OEM attachments.
Coupler sizes include the 444J, 544J and 624J Z-Bar and Powerllel™ models. Buckets that work with this coupler include 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 cubic yard hook-on versions. Fork frames are either 60 or 90 inches wide, with 48 and 60-inch fork tines and an optional backrest for each size.
"The hooks are farther apart, in line with the boom arms and higher on the bucket," said David O'Keeffe, product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry Company. "This opens up an area in the middle to give a much larger sight line to the attachment, so the operator can work faster and more productively."
