John Deere offers its 85D mid-sized excavator, which features a swing boom that allows it to dig parallel to walls and foundations. Increased swing torque and drawbar pull make the 85D feel like a bigger machine. Other features include a comfort-designed cab, advanced LCD monitor, a high-efficiency cooling system, a Tier-3 diesel engine and improved serviceability. Rubber tracks are optional.
