CT315
45 NET HORSEPOWER
Even less of a good thing.
Need a smaller track loader to deliver big-time performance? Choose a CT315. Lightweight and agile,
yet surprisingly powerful, this highly capable compact is the perfect size for work in confi ned areas. Easy to
transport between jobsites, too. Like its larger compact track loader siblings, it delivers best-in-class stability,
breakout force, visibility, and wide-open service access. So you can get more done, more reliably, for less.
Features such as direct-mounted planetary drives, easy-to-fi ll large-capacity fuel tank, and a self-cleaning,
never-grease Quik-Tatch™ ensure it’s as easy to maintain as it is to run. Plus, this little dynamo is highly versatile.

Equip it with any of many Worksite Pro™ attachments, and watch productivity take off.
John Deere 2.4L diesel engine runs smooth and effi ciently. Meets
interim Tier 4 interim emission standards, too.
Best-in-class visibility allows clear sightlines to the bucket or
attachment, edge of the tracks, and out back. For increased confi -
dence and close-quarters agility.
Boom design delivers excellent reach through the “work zone.”
Perfect for loading pickup trucks, placing pallets, or whatever.
CT315 is as inexpensive to own as it is to acquire. Daily and periodic
maintenance is quick, convenient, and minimal.
Long-life undercarriage incorporates many of the same components
as our larger CTLs. It’s simple, yet durable. Standard 12½-inch
track provides plenty of productivity-enhancing balance, traction,
and fl otation.
Available JDLInk Express™ delivers 24/7 anywhere access to your
CT315’s engine hours and location, as well as geofencing, curfew,
and maintenance-tracking capabilities.
CT315 specs:
45 net hp; 49 gross hp
4,412-lb. tipping load
1,500-lb. SAE rated operating capacity
( 35% of tipping load )
2,178-lb. bucket breakout force
2,700-lb. boom breakout force
8,000-lbf tractive effort
Lightweight agility,
heavyweight ability.
Whether you’re tiptoeing around zero lot lines or laboring in close quarters, this nimble
loader won’t have any trouble fi tting in. Its small stature enables the CT315 to slip comfortably
through narrow openings and into tight spaces. Makes it easy to trailer and easy on turf,
too. But this “lightweight” won’t get pushed around. Optimal 60/40-weight distribution
gives it the stability needed for handling heavy loads. Best-in-class pushing power and rated
operating capacities deliver plenty of productive punch. And its high-torque turbocharged
2.4L diesel won’t toss in the towel when the going gets tough, either.

Smooth-running turbocharged 2.4L John Deere diesel delivers power without
compromise. Packs plenty of torque reserve, too, for daylong stamina and
strength.
Unlike other comparable-size CTLs, the CT315’s heavy-duty planetary reduction
fi nal drive provides plenty of pushing power.

1. Forty-degree dump angle enables buckets to
empty completely, shedding even sticky material.
Exclusive cushioned bucket and lift cylinders
reduce spillage.
2. Boom design keeps the load close to the
machine, close to the ground. Thirty degrees
of bucket rollback helps ensure that the load
arrives at its intended destination.
3. Just over 60 inches wide, the small-but-mighty
CT315 excels at close-quarters work.
4. Optimal weight distribution and low center of
gravity provide superior stability on slopes.

Compact machine,
super-sized comfort.
Who says compacts can’t be comfortable? Slip-resistant steps, convenient grab bars, and wide-open entryway
make it easy to settle into the adjustable high-back sculpted seat. Low-effort controls are intuitive and
responsive. Overhead, the electronic monitor is easy to observe and operate. Industry-leading 360-degree
visibility provides a commanding view of the surroundings for confident operation. And numerous safety
features like the in-cab-activated boom lock help keep the operator out of harm’s way.
Comfortable high-back seat has a vinyl cover that sheds water. For year-round comfort add an
optional cab with highly effi cient heater and defroster.
Three-roller track frames and steel-imbedded tracks deliver solid stability and a comfortable
ride. Double-fl ange front idlers and fi rst rollers move in tandem for exceptional smoothness.
Triple-interlock operator-presence system automatically applies the brakes when the seat belt
is unlatched, the operator leaves the seat, or the engine is shut down.
Available digital-coded antitheft security system includes automatic end-of-day activation.
Steering controls are smooth, responsive, and deliver precise low-effort control that won’t
overreact to a bump in the road — or a fi rst-time operator’s unfamiliar touch.

Clear sightlines of the cutting edge and bucket corners, above and below the lift arms, and the
jobsite behind you add up to best-in-class visibility. It’s a commanding view you have to sit in
the seat to appreciate, so ask for a demo.
Convenient 12-volt port powers cell phones, iPod®, and other carryons. Interior dome light and
cup holder are also standard.
Overhead console houses an easy-to-read
diagnostic monitor. Large backlit gauges
and LED warning lights display vital
operating info at a glance. Glove-friendly
rocker switches operate numerous functions.
Busybody.
With its go-everywhere rubber track undercarriage, universal Quik-Tatch™, and auxiliary hydraulics, the CT315
is fully equipped to tackle a seemingly endless variety of tasks. So get to your John Deere skid steer dealer and
ask about his ever-expanding lineup of Worksite Pro™ attachments. From augers to vibratory rollers, he has the
attachments you need to handle nearly everybody’s business.

power needed to drive a wide variety of attachments.
Worksite Pro attachments are optimized to work on our 300-Series Compact
Track Loaders and Skid Steers, and are compatible with many competitive
models.
Nothing lasts like this Deere.
Don’t let its small size fool you. Incorporating many of the same durability features found in our larger CTLs,
the CT315 is as tough as any. Advantages such as sealed electrical connectors, O-ring face-seal hydraulic
fi ttings, large cooler, and extended service intervals keep uptime up. Plus, a standard automatic shutdown
system prevents overheating or low fl uids from ruining more than just your day. When you know how they’re
built, you’ll run a Deere.

Drive motors are heavy-duty, and hoses are shielded for extra protection.
Direct-mounted planetary fi nal drives utilize larger-than-usual bearings for
one-of-a-kind durability.
All-steel rollers, idlers, and sprockets are similar to those used on our larger
CTLs. Metal-face seals and journal bearings further increase their longevity.
O-ring face-seal hydraulic fi ttings virtually eliminate aggravating and costly oil leaks.
Wet-disc park brakes are fully enclosed and never require adjustment.
Precision-joint connecting rods and rolled fi llet crankshaft give the John Deere
PowerTech™ diesel plenty of stamina and strength.
Automatic shutdown system monitors engine oil pressure, coolant, and hydraulic
oil temperature. When limits are exceeded, the system issues an audible warning
and, if necessary, shuts down the machine to protect the drivetrain.
1. Durable steel-reinforced rubber
tracks last signifi cantly longer
than most. Wide-open under carriage design sheds debris and
resists packing for reduced track
wear and quicker clean-out.
2. Heavy-duty cross-section boom-
arm design delivers long-term
durability and strength.
3. Large coolers provide increased
heat rejection for superior performance
in severe, high-load conditions.
4. Rocker switches and electrical
connectors are sealed to keep out
moisture and dirt for increased
durability.

Simply remove two nuts and tilt. Wide-open service access to major components takes less than two minutes.
Industry-exclusive in-cab-activated boom lock lets the operator secure the
loader arms in an upright position before leaving the seat.
Because no maintenance beats low maintenance, the engine’s serpentine belt
and hydraulic valve lifters never require adjustment.
500-hour engine oil, 3-micron hydraulic, and 5-micron fuel fi lters provide extra
protection.

Swing open the rear door and tilt up the hood for convenient, ground-level
access to the engine, fi lters, starter, and maintenance-free battery.
Unlike other CTLs that require complicated daily adjustments with special tools,
track tension is checked weekly or every 50 hours. If adjustment is needed, all
that’s required is a grease gun and wrench.
Tightwad.
Tight spaces aren’t the only places this highly capable compact excels. It’s tightfi sted with your dollars,
too. Everything about it has been designed to keep maintenance simple and daily operating costs low.
A swing-out rear door provides wide-open, ground-level access to cooling system components and daily
service checkpoints. Refueling and other fl uid additions are convenient and quick. Track tension adjusts
simply, and the easy-to-clean undercarriage is just that. When necessary, the ROPS can be tilted in less
than two minutes, providing best-in-class, wide-open access to major components. Parts and service are
just as easily accessible at more than 1,200 John Deere locations coast to coast.
