John Deere Compact Track Loaders
The D Series Represents Five Next Generation Models
A close relative of the
skid steer loader, compact
track loaders are versatile,
powerful machines in a
small package. With rubber
tracks instead of wheels,
compact track loaders are
better suited to softer terrain
and have a lower
impact on the ground.
Compact track loaders are
relative newcomers to the
compact category. John
Deere started offering these
dedicated track loaders in
2005 with two models.
Over the years, the company
has expanded its offering
to include five models
and numerous options and
attachments.
John Deere’s D Series
represents the next generation
of Deere’s compact
track loaders, combining
proven technology and enhanced
undercarriage long
life design. These units also
offer numerous customerrecommended
enhancements that help contractors increase
productivity and uptime and keep daily operating costs low.
These include a larger operator station, a quiet pressurized cab
with best-in-class visibility and a curved-glass, swing-out door.
The John Deere compact track loader line also features an
innovative cooling system and optional hydraulically-driven,
variable-speed fan that reverses to clear debris buildup, keeping
the machines running smoothly longer. Each model’s jobproven
steel-reinforced tracks provide sure-footed traction
and superior longevity, says Deere. Additional options include
an electro-hydraulic joystick, variable boom and bucket
speed settings and more than 100 attachments.
All-steel rollers, idlers and sprockets, as well as steel-imbedded
rubber tracks, make the D Series undercarriage more robust
and durable for longer life and more uptime, says the
company. John Deere’s compact track loaders also utilize dozer
roller seal and bearing technology, providing superior performance
without leaks under tough conditions. The all-steel
rollers are also easier to clean after work in muddy conditions.

The double flange rollers and idlers offer a smooth ride,
increasing operator comfort and productivity. They are
also larger than competitive models, which helps increase
rubber track life by reducing heat buildup with the largest
bending radii of the track. The final drive planetary reduction
gearbox’s bearings are 100 percent larger than those
of the competition and will last significantly longer, says
Deere. This size also offers increased pushing power, notes
the company.
Advice to Buyers
“Compact track loaders come in several sizes and power
levels,” says Gregg Zupancic, John Deere product marketing
manager for skid steers and compact track loaders. “Buyers
should keep their current and future needs in mind when
purchasing a compact track loader. Considerations like power,
boom height and available attachments will all affect how
useful a compact track loader is on the jobsite. Operator comfort
and visibility are also key factors, as they affect overall
productivity and jobsite safety.”
