• Rated operating capacity: 2,590 lb, tipping load 7,400 lb
• Operating weight: 9,500 lb (4,313 kg)
• Displacement: 3.3 L (203 cu in)
• Fuel tank: 20.9 gallons
• Position: mid size G-Series, below the 333G

What Are the John Deere 325G Specs?

The 325G occupies the middle of John Deere's compact track loader range, above the smaller G-Series machines and below the 333G.

Specification	Figure
Engine	Yanmar 4TNV98CT turbocharged diesel
Gross power	74 hp (54.8 kW) at 2,500 rpm
Net power	70 hp (52.5 kW)
Displacement	3.3 L (203 cu in)
Rated operating capacity	2,590 lb (1,176 kg)
Tipping load	7,400 lb (3,360 kg)
Operating weight	9,500 lb (4,313 kg)
Max travel speed	up to 8.2 mph
Fuel tank	20.9 gallons
Height to hinge pin	10 ft 6 in (3,200 mm)
Overall height	6 ft 9 in (2,060 mm)
Width over tracks	6 ft 5 in (1,820 mm)

The gap between the 7,400 lb tipping load and the 2,590 lb rated operating capacity is wider than the simple half rule used on wheeled skid steers. Track loaders are rated more conservatively because the longer ground contact changes how load transfers, which is part of why they feel more stable at height.

What Engine Does the 325G Use?

A Yanmar 4TNV98CT, a turbocharged diesel displacing 3.3 litres or 203 cubic inches, producing 74 gross horsepower at 2,500 rpm and 70 horsepower net.

The difference between gross and net power is worth understanding when comparing machines. Gross is measured at the flywheel before accessories. Net accounts for the fan, alternator and other parasitic loads, and it is closer to what actually reaches the work.

Engine parts are ordered against the engine serial stamped on the block rather than the machine PIN. That matters on machines that have had an engine replaced or rebuilt.

How Much Can the 325G Lift?

Rated operating capacity is 2,590 lb with a standard bucket, against a 7,400 lb tipping load. Height to hinge pin is 10 feet 6 inches.

That hinge pin height is the figure to check when loading. It determines whether the machine clears the side of a truck body, and it is a more useful comparison between machines than rated capacity alone.

As with any track loader, ground conditions change practical capability more than the specification sheet suggests. The machine keeps working on soft or uneven ground where a wheeled machine of similar rating would already have lost traction.

How Does the 325G Compare to the 333G?

Both are G-Series compact track loaders and they share a great deal of architecture. The 333G sits above the 325G across every capacity measure.

	325G	333G
Gross power	74 hp	100 hp
Rated operating capacity	2,590 lb	3,700 lb
Operating weight	9,500 lb	12,100 lb
Tipping load	7,400 lb	10,570 lb
Engine	Yanmar 4TNV98CT	Yanmar 4TNV94FHT

The choice between them is usually decided by transport and by the heaviest thing the machine has to lift, not by horsepower. The 333G is 2,600 lb heavier, which affects trailer requirements and ground pressure on finished surfaces.

For parts, the shared G-Series architecture means cab components, glass, wiper hardware and many wear items carry across, while hydraulic and drivetrain components sized to the capacity difference do not. Full specifications for the larger machine are in our John Deere 333G specs and parts guide.

Where Is the Serial Number on a 325G?

The Product Identification Number plate on compact track loaders is generally located on the machine frame, commonly near the operator station or on the rear of the machine. The engine carries a separate serial stamped on the block.

Attachments carry their own serial numbers as well, and their parts cannot be looked up from the machine PIN. Record all three before ordering.

Plate locations and PIN structure for the wider range are covered in our guide to John Deere excavator and skid steer serial numbers.

Is the 325G High Flow, and What Will It Run?

Standard and high flow configurations both exist across the G-Series compact track loader range, and the configuration determines which attachments reach rated performance. Confirm which your machine has against its serial rather than assuming from the model, because hydraulic components differ between the two and the answer affects part numbers as well as attachment choice.

Flow governs how fast a hydraulic tool cycles. Pressure governs how much force it applies. An attachment specification lists both, and the machine has to meet both to deliver rated output.

Attachment type	Typical demand
Buckets, forks, grapples, blades	Little auxiliary flow, runs on any configuration
Augers, breakers, brush cutters	Generally standard flow, faster with more
Cold planers, mulching heads, large snow blowers	High flow to reach rated output

Two practical points catch people out. First, quick-tach coupler condition affects delivered performance as much as the machine specification does, because worn or contaminated couplers restrict flow and produce symptoms identical to an undersized machine. Check them before concluding the machine is the limitation. Second, an attachment that runs slowly is usually a flow mismatch rather than a fault, and replacing the tool will not fix it.

Confirm your machine configuration against its serial number before buying an attachment, not after.

What Are the Most Common 325G Parts to Replace?

Based on our catalog data, machines in this class return for four groups of parts.

Undercarriage components. Tracks, rollers, idlers and sprockets, which wear as a system and represent the largest ownership cost on any track loader.

Attachment mounting hardware. Quick-tach components take constant load and wear from repeated attachment changes. A Quick-Tach Kit replacing John Deere KV14000 and a Left Fast-Tach Arm replacing John Deere AT418734 are typical of what high hour machines need.

Cab glass. Front and door panes take damage in demolition and land clearing work, and are cut to a specific opening. A Front Center Glass for Late E and G Series replacing John Deere T344818 is an example of a pane scoped to particular series rather than shared across all machines.

Pins and bushings throughout the loader arms and attachment coupler, such as the Pin replacing John Deere T259403. Wear here shows up as play in the attachment well before anything fails outright.

How Do I Confirm a Part Fits My 325G?

Work from part numbers, and note the configuration details that change fitment on this machine.

1. Record the machine PIN and the engine serial
2. Note whether the machine is standard or high flow
3. Read the OEM number from the component being replaced
4. Check series scoping on glass, which is frequently listed by series range rather than by single model

Quality aftermarket parts are built to meet or exceed OEM specifications and are generally the more economical route for undercarriage, glass and wear hardware. Customers are responsible for verifying fitment. Send your PIN and flow configuration to sales@partsonline.com and our team will confirm before you order. Consult a certified mechanic for hydraulic and drivetrain work.
