John Deere E Series Skid Steer Loader, Compact Track Laoader Sales Training Guide

Machine’s down, salesman is in the way, and nobody actually knows what this E Series skid steer is rated to lift or how it’s optioned. You waste 30–40 minutes guessing if it can handle that pallet or that attachment. This sales training guide stops that. It spells out model variants, lift paths, rated operating capacities, hydraulic flow options, and what each package really includes, so you stop arguing and start moving the right machine to the job.

Key Tasks Covered:

• Identify exact model from decals, cab layout, and boom style
• Match rated operating capacity to the load you’re about to lift
• Verify standard vs high‑flow hydraulics before hooking up an attachment
• Check tire/track and counterweight options that affect stability
• Compare vertical vs radial lift for the work you’re doing
• Confirm auxiliary electrical and coupler options from spec tables

Common Questions:

Q: “Can this thing safely lift that wet concrete pallet or not?”

A: Check the ROC in the guide for that model/config, then derate for attachment weight and boom position; if you’re over 75–80% of ROC, get a bigger unit.

Q: “Will this run a high‑flow planer without cooking the hydraulics?”

A: Guide shows GPM and pressure by package; if the attachment’s spec is higher, you’ll overheat oil and cavitate the pump.

Safety Note: Don’t “try it and see” with lift capacity—read the numbers before someone rides it over.
