This 2015 Deere 85G is a crawler excavator — commonly called a digger — a tracked digging machine used across construction, utility, demolition, and earthmoving work. John Deere is one of the world's most widely recognised equipment manufacturers, producing a broad range of construction and agricultural machinery trusted across North America and globally.
This used example has accumulated 3,670 hours and is described as ready to work. It is equipped with a Wain-Roy coupler, a well-regarded quick-attach system that allows for fast bucket and attachment changes on the job site. A hydraulic thumb is fitted, which works in conjunction with the bucket to grip and handle irregularly shaped material such as rocks, debris, and pipe — a practical addition for demolition and utility applications.
The machine features boom swing capability, allowing the boom to pivot laterally independent of the undercarriage, which is particularly useful when working in confined spaces or tight trenches. The undercarriage is reported to be in great condition, which is a significant factor in the long-term serviceability of any crawler excavator given the cost of undercarriage components. Street pads are installed, protecting both the machine's tracks and paved or finished surfaces during road and urban job site work.
A hydraulic hammer is also available, making this machine a capable candidate for breaking concrete, rock, or hardpan. The excavator is located in New York, USA, and is listed at $54,500.
