Capable of working around congested job sites in efficient fashion, the updated John Deere 75G and 85G excavators boast new customer-inspired features, including hand-controlled proportional auxiliary hydraulics and the ability to be equipped with a hydraulic coupler that allows the machines to use backhoe buckets.
The 75G and 85G boast a 57-hp Final Tier 4 diesel engine outfitted with a diesel particulate filter that cleans automatically without impacting the machines’ productivity.
Like all G-Series excavators, the 75G and 85G include an operation environment with spacious, comfortable cabs and easy-to-use enhanced LCD monitors. The wide expanse of front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, large tinted overhead hatch and numerous mirrors provide all-around visibility.
