    Common questions

    How much does the John Deere 317G weigh?

    Operating weight: 8,423 lb (3,821 kg). Buckets, attachments and options add weight, so check the serial plate.

    How big is the John Deere 317G?

    Length with bucket 10 ft 8 in, width 5 ft 5 in, height to top of cab 6 ft 7 in.

    What trailer do I need to haul a John Deere 317G?

    One with a payload rating above 8,423 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments. At 6 ft 7 in tall it stays under 13 ft 6 in on a typical 60 in flatbed deck.

    Do I need a CDL to haul a John Deere 317G?

    Not necessarily. A Class A CDL is required for commercial driving when the combined GVWR is 26,001 lb or more and the trailer is rated over 10,000 lb. A 8,423 lb machine can often go on a trailer rated 10,000 lb or less, but check the trailer’s rating and your state’s rules.
