John Deere introduces 35G compact excavator

John Deere introduced the customer-inspired 35G Compact Excavator. A smaller, nimbler cousin to John Deere’s G-Series excavators.

“We paid special attention to cab adjustments and emissions regulations when designing the 35G,” said Mark Wall, product marketing manager for excavators, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The operator’s station is now wider and longer than the previous D-Series model, providing improved operator comfort and productivity. In addition, the machine provides increased visibility to work in close quarters comfortably and safely.”

The 35G incorporates a 23 hp (17.4 kW) Final Tier 4 diesel engine to power through any job. The 35G features auto-idle that slows engine speed when the pilot-control levers are momentarily released – for reduced fuel consumption and noise.

John Deere designed a new door for improved entry and visibility to the left hand side of the machine. The door design also widens the size of the opening for entering the cab. Within the operator station, a new multifunction monitor provides a coolant temperature and fuel gauge, clock, two trip meters, regeneration inhibit, auto shut down control and machine hours.

With a focus on improving uptime, a third service door was added to provide improved access to the cooling core for cleaning purposes. The cores were also positioned side by side rather than being stacked inline to permit easier access.

The excavator can be equipped with an optional, hydraulic, adjustable-angle backfill blade that features 25 degrees of adjustment to both the left and right for more efficient trench backfilling. In addition, a standard coupler accommodates a wide variety of available attachments such as hydraulic breakers and augers. Rubber tracks, steel tracks and steel tracks with rubber pads are all available.
