In addition to these new model updates, the company says it will offer a first look at its all-new future generation excavators.

Both types of updates are described as examples of how John Deere can leverage technology from across the enterprise to extend advanced features and smart solutions to its full line-up of excavators.

“We are beyond excited about the future of our excavator line-up, including the new models available to our customers today and the machines being strategically designed and built for tomorrow,” said Aaron Klauer, global product manager for mid- and large-size excavators.

“We are constantly listening to the needs of the industry, and our future generation excavator models uses John of global excavator experience to bring the most innovative and game-changing machines to market.”

Compared to the 85 G-Tier model, the new 85 P-Tier boasts an 18% engine horsepower increase and the addition of a turbo for high altitude performance, while hydraulic performance improvements include increased pump torque and improved dig forces.
