EXCAVATORS

ZERO TAIL SWING

Don’t bust your tail.

Get a Deere ZTS Excavator instead. Their state-

of-the-art design allows these nimble compacts

to rotate fully without banging their tails into

something. Combined with independent-swing

boom and 360-degree rotation, they slip into

close quarters comfortably. And work with ease

around critical structures and other obstacles.

It’s not just their shape and small stature that

make these excavators such valuable assets.

Standard equipped with quick-coupler and

auxiliary hydraulics, plus any of the many

optional Worksite Pro™ attachments, the

ZTS Excavators are highly capable compacts.

And perfect for a wide variety of work.

These compacts won’t cramp your style. Wide control spacing

and adjustable seats provide daylong comfort for any operator.

Optional suspension seat available.

Independent-swing boom and 360-degree rotation enable

you to position yourself to do more work.

Rubber tracks traverse virtually any terrain and are especially

welcome on paved surfaces. Steel tracks and rubber crawler

pads are also available.

1. Control pattern selector valve easily

accommodates operator preferences. Go from

backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just

a turn of a dial.

2. Easy-to-read and conveniently located, the

systems monitor keeps you advised of vital

operating information.

3. You won’t bust your tail maintaining a

ZTS Excavator, either. All doors open wide,

providing easy access to daily service points,

cooling system, fuel filters, and battery.

4. Ergonomically correct, low-effort

pilot controls direct an open-center variable-

displacement hydraulic system for smooth,

combined-function performance. So even

unfamiliar operators become proficient quickly.

5. Perhaps best of all, the ZTS Excavators

are backed by Deere’s 12-month warranty,

extensive preventive maintenance programs,

and nationwide dealer network.
