John Deere 325 P-Tier Compact Track Loader vs. John Deere 331 P-Tier Compact Track Loader
A straight, spec-by-spec look for compact construction buyers across Ohio and Indiana. The numbers are only half the decision.
Is the John Deere 325 P-Tier Compact Track Loader right for you?
If you're looking at the 325 P-Tier, you're probably weighing it against the 331 P-Tier, and the honest answer is that both are good machines built for different jobs. The 331 is the bigger of the two on nearly every line. It has 98 hp against the 325's 74 hp, a rated operating capacity of 3,150 lb. against 2,590 lb., and breakout force of 11,000 lb. against 8,750 lb. Its standard flow is 25 gpm versus 21 gpm, which gives it 50.3 hydraulic horsepower to the 325's 41.7. It also carries 29.5 gal. of fuel to the 325's 21 gal., and it rides on 15.8 in. tracks instead of 12.6 in.
So who fits where? The 331 suits the Customer moving heavier material all day, running demanding attachments, or stretching long shifts between fill-ups. The 325 suits the Customer who wants a capable loader without paying for capacity they won't use. It still lifts 2,590 lb., reaches a 126.1 in. hinge pin height and a 102.1 in. dump height, and travels at 8.2 mph, close to the 331's 8.5 mph. That makes it a strong match for landscaping, small construction, and property work where a tighter, lighter machine is a plus.
Either way, you get the same Koenig service network across Ohio and Indiana, genuine parts, and strong resale. Talk with your local Koenig team about your attachments and typical workday, and we'll help you pick the right size.
