I'm looking at wheel loaders and trying to compare apples to apples.

What do the suffix letters mean in John Deere series machines?
For example, I've found a 544B, 544E and 544G. What would the differences be?

 I aint 100 % sure on this , but I think it has to do with year and series of machine , you can have a 544 G series and a 544 H series , the G beeing the  older versun but the same year of fabrication. the higher up in the alphabet the newer the loader .

Marcel is correct - the higher up in the aplhabet that the letter is, the newer the design/manufacture of the machine.
Peterson 10" WPF with 65' of track
Smith - Gallagher dedicated slabber
Tom's 3638D Baker band mill
and a mix of log handling heavy equipment.

Like Marcel said, the letters tell of model changes in each series. However it is not absolute they go in sequence from low to high. Sometimes they use a letter for particular features.

 The higher the letter the harder it will be to work on it yourself  ;D. Cause the engineers don't want anyone to be able it fix it.
