John Deere is displaying the updated 85 P-Tier excavator at The Utility Expo 2023. Compared to the 85 G-Tier model, the new 85 P-Tier offers 18 percent more engine horsepower and the addition of a turbo for high-altitude performance. Hydraulic performance improvements include increased pump torque and improved dig forces.
The larger, redesigned cab is equipped with an eight-inch monitor. Bluetooth and a 270-degree camera system are integrated into the main monitor for optimal operator comfort. John Deere says that the 85 P-Tier excavator also has improved service access and is available with optional features such as the angle blade with float and continuous flow auxiliary hydraulics.
