South Africa, 25 June 2025 — John Deere Africa Middle East is proud to announce the introduction of the 325G Tracked Skid Steer, the first tracked skid steer of its kind introduced to the African market.
Compact in size but heavy on performance, the 325G is built to excel in tough environments while delivering powerful breakout forces and exceptional stability on soft or uneven terrain. Equipped with rubber tracks and advanced hydraulic capabilities, the machine has already proven its value globally in construction, mining, agriculture, landscaping, and municipal work—and is now set to do the same on African soil.
Engineered for African Applications
"Bringing the 325G to Africa is a strategic step," says Griffiths Makgate, C&F Sales Manager Africa and Middle East. "From municipal zones to mines operating in harsh conditions and farms in rural regions, this machine is a versatile solution ready to work wherever our customers do."
The 325G boasts a 71-horsepower (net) engine, superior pushing power, and a compact frame ideal for restricted or high-traffic workspaces. Its low ground pressure allows it to glide over sandy, muddy, or wet terrain without causing surface damage
An Attachment Powerhouse
With over 100 attachments offered in the John Deere portfolio you can make the most out of your skid steer by equipping it with a number of popular attachments.
- Increased auxiliary hydraulic flows and power over previous models enable greater performance while running attachments and optional high-flow hydraulics lets operators add things like rotary cutters or brooms.
- Optional electrically actuated Quik-Tatch™ enables some attachment connecting to take place within the cab reducing the need for exiting and re-entering the cab to manually connect attachments.
- Creep control (offered within the Joystick Performance Package) allows operators to perform precise tasks that require full hydraulic flow and power while running at lower travel speeds
This makes the 325G a valuable multi-purpose investment for enterprises seeking efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Remote Control System: Safety Meets Innovation
The 325G is also available with an optional Remote Control System, enabling operators to run the machine from a safe distance. This feature enhances operational safety in hazardous environments, such as unstable ground conditions, demolition zones, or waste facilities.
Key benefits of the remote system include:
- Enhanced operator safety by removing personnel from danger zones
- Greater precision in blind spots or tight working conditions
- Ease of training and assistance in field operations
Backed by John Deere
In addition to cutting-edge technology and rugged performance, the 325G comes with the backing of John Deere's expanding dealer network across Africa, ensuring consistent access to parts, service, and support. Operations will also benefit from JDLink™ telematics, allowing for real-time diagnostics, fleet management, and productivity monitoring from virtually anywhere, at anytime at no cost.
