1. Compact Size, Big Power

The 325G packs a 53kW engine into a compact frame, offering exceptional pushing power in tight or high-traffic worksites. Its rubber tracks deliver stability and low ground pressure, letting it operate on sandy, muddy, or uneven terrain without damaging the surface.

The machine, equipped with rubber tracks and a protective operator cabin, is positioned in front of a white wooden fence with a grassy area and trees in the background.

2. Designed for African Conditions

From municipal work zones to remote farms and mining operations, the 325G is built to thrive in Africa’s most demanding environments. “This machine is a versatile solution that is ready to work wherever our customers do,” says Griffiths Makgate, C&F Sales Manager for Africa and the Middle East.

3. Over 100 Attachments Available

John Deere’s wide range of attachments transforms the 325G into a multi-tool for your operation. Features like optional high-flow hydraulics, electrically actuated Quik-Tatch™ for in-cab attachment changes, and creep control for precise low-speed work give operators flexibility and efficiency.

4. Remote Control for Safer Operations

The optional remote-control system allows the 325G to be operated from a safe distance, which is perfect for hazardous sites like unstable ground, demolition areas, or waste facilities. This enhances safety, improves precision in tight spaces, and helps with operator training.
