New D-Series Skid Steers and CTLs
The introduction of John Deere's new D-Series skid steer loaders and compact track loaders (CTLs) is the culmination of years of careful research and a partnership with skid steer owners and operators from around the world – all to ensure D-Series operators have the comfort, features and performance needed to do their best work. "We've listened to what customers told us they wanted in skid steer and compact track loaders, and we've responded with nine new models that incorporate their suggestions," said Gregg Zupancic, Deere's product marketing manager for skid steers and compact track loaders.
New Features -
Productivity
PowerTech™ E diesel engines meet interim Tier-4 regulations. Exclusive electronic injection delivers significant torque rise and more usable power. Saves fuel, reduces noise, and improves cold starting, too.
Universal self-cleaning power Quik-Tatch™ lets you quickly change from bucket to whatever. With more than 100 Worksite Pro™ attachments, we've got what you need to expand versatility.
Comfort
Noticeably larger entryway and all-glass curved door provide wide-open access. Getting in and out of our skid steers has never been easier.
All-new pressurized cab is 50% quieter. More spacious, too. We added 6" of headroom without compromising overhead clearance
Uptime/Serviceability
Industry-exclusive design separates coolers in an innovative V-shape configuration that's more efficient. Large hydraulic cooler and radiator provide the necessary capacity for high-ambient temperature operation.
Servicing is simple and quick. There's no need to raise the boom for daily service or most periodic maintenance. Fluid-fill locations and checkpoints are grouped and color-coded. And a conveniently displayed maintenance chart helps ensure that nothing gets overlooked.
To help conserve fuel and prolong engine life, standard auto-idle reduces engine speed after the operator has vacated the seat. Full auto-idle (available with EH controls) slows the engine after five seconds of inactivity, and resumes preset engine speed with any movement of the joysticks.
