John Deere 333G at a glance
Vertical lift to 11 ft
The standard vertical-lift boom puts the hinge pin at 132 in (11 ft). With a foundry bucket, dump height is 106.1 in (8 ft 10 in) and dump reach is 28 in, useful for loading trucks and hoppers.
100 hp Yanmar diesel
A 3.1 L, 4-cylinder Yanmar 4TNV94FHT, turbocharged and intercooled, rated at 100 gross hp and 96.6 net hp at 2,500 rpm, with 291.3 lb-ft of peak torque at 1,700 rpm. It meets EPA Final Tier 4.
High flow up to 41.1 gpm
Standard auxiliary flow is 25.0 gpm; the optional high-flow system raises it to 41.1 gpm, both at 3,450 psi at the couplers. Deere calculates hydraulic power at 50 hp standard and 83 hp with high flow.
SmartGrade dozer version
The 333G SmartGrade adds a 96 in power-angle-tilt blade and three sets of counterweights, taking operating weight to 14,000 lb. Deere’s DozerMode switches the controls to a dozer-style pattern at the push of a button.
John Deere 333G specifications

How much can a John Deere 333G lift?
Deere rates the 333G at 3,700 lb, which is 35 percent of its 10,570 lb tipping load (10,570 × 0.35 = 3,700). That 35 percent limit is the one ISO 14397-1 sets for tracked loaders, so use 3,700 lb when you compare it with other compact track loaders. Deere also lists 5,285 lb at 50 percent of tipping load.
Tipping load is the weight at which the machine starts to tip forward, so treat it as a limit, never a working load. The rated figures are with a foundry bucket; attachments that stick out farther reduce what the machine can safely carry.
333G vs. 333G SmartGrade
| Spec | 333G | 333G SmartGrade |
|---|---|---|
| Operating weight, 450 mm tracks | 12,100 lb | 14,000 lb |
| Tipping load, foundry bucket | 10,570 lb | 11,630 lb |
| Rated operating capacity (35%) | 3,700 lb | 4,071 lb |
| Height to top of ROPS | 86.7 in | 90.5 in (incl. GNSS) |
| Blade | None | 96 in power-angle-tilt, 1,400 lb |
The SmartGrade blade is 29 in tall with an SAE capacity of 1.54 yd³, angles 24° each way and tilts 8° each way. Its extra weight is why the SmartGrade has the higher tipping load. On a standard 333G, Deere offers rear counterweights in sets of 1, 2 or 3, at 172 lb per set.
Standard vs. optional equipment
Deere’s spec sheet marks each item as standard or optional. A selection:
- Standard: vertical-lift boom, Quik-Tatch coupler, electrohydraulic ISO-pattern joysticks, 450 mm tracks, 2-speed transmission, auto-idle, variable-speed hydraulic fan, in-cab boom lockout, connect-under-pressure auxiliary couplers, keyless start with anti-theft, quick-pivot ROPS, backup alarm and halogen work lights.
- Optional: high-flow hydraulics, glass cab enclosure, air conditioning with heater, rearview camera, reversing fan, Power Quik-Tatch, hydraulic self-leveling and ride control, air-ride heated seat, LED lighting, 400 mm tracks, rear counterweights, SmartGrade and Slope Control.
Deere notes that availability varies by region and that JDLink telematics is offered in specific countries; confirm your build with a dealer.
333G vs. Bobcat T770 vs. Cat 259D3
| Spec | JD 333G | Bobcat T770 | Cat 259D3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating weight | 12,100 lb | 10,515 lb | 8,987 lb |
| Rated capacity (35%) | 3,700 lb | 3,475 lb | 2,010 lb |
| Hinge pin height | 132 in | 132 in | 121 in |
| Engine power | 100 hp gross, 96.6 net | 92 hp | 74.3 hp gross, 73.2 net |
| High flow | 41.1 gpm | 36.6 gpm | 30 gpm |
| Fuel tank | 30 gal | 43.8 gal | 24.8 gal |
On published figures, the 333G is the heaviest of the three and carries the most at 35 percent, with the same 11 ft hinge pin as the Bobcat T770 and the most high-flow oil. The T770 carries a bigger fuel tank, and the Cat 259D3 is the lightest to haul. See all machines on the equipment specs page.
