2026 John Deere 60P

The John Deere 60P Compact Excavator is a 6.1-metric ton reduced-tail-swing mini excavator powered by a Yanmar 4TNV98C-WHB diesel engine producing 53 net rated horsepower at 2,000 rpm with 203 cubic inches displacement. The reduced-tail-swing design with 4 feet 3 inches tail swing radius using standard counterweight maximizes maneuverability in tight spaces. Equipped with a 9 feet 9 inch boom and 4 feet 11 inch standard arm, the machine delivers 20 feet 5 inches maximum digging reach, 12 feet 4 inches maximum digging depth, 19 feet 7 inches maximum cutting height, and 13 feet 8 inches maximum dumping height. An optional 6 feet 1 inch long arm increases digging depth to 13 feet 6 inches and reach to 21 feet 6 inches. Digging forces include 9,240 pounds bucket breakout and 6,990 pounds arm force with standard arm. Lift capacity reaches 8,550 pounds over the front at ground level at 9 feet 10 inches radius with blade down, cab, and standard counterweight. The standard 6 feet 7 inch backfill blade adjusts 18 inches above or 15 inches below ground, with optional hydraulic angle blade available. The closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system features one variable-displacement pump with 38.0 gpm maximum rated flow and 24.2 gpm auxiliary maximum rated flow at the boom end via standard quick-couplers. Independent swing boom provides 80 degrees left and 60 degrees right offset. Standard auxiliary return-flow selector valve accommodates one-way or two-way hydraulic attachments. Hydraulic pilot-operated controls with excavator-to-backhoe pattern selector provide precise operation. Auto-idle, auto shutdown, and power/economy modes optimize fuel efficiency. The spacious operator station features wide entryway, standard cloth suspension seat, foldable travel pedals, and comprehensive instrumentation. Standard ROPS/TOPS/FOPS cab includes air conditioning and heating, with optional canopy available. Rubber cab mounts and noise-reducing aftertreatment device minimize vibration and sound. Two-speed propel motors with automatic shifting provide 1.8 mph slow and 3.0 mph fast range. Standard 16-inch rubber tracks deliver 5.1 psi ground pressure with cab and standard counterweight, with optional steel tracks or rubber crawler pads available. The mechanical quick-coupler accepts buckets, hammers, augers, clamps, and compactors. Heavy-duty side shields protect components, while single-pin swing-post increases boom rigidity and reinforced D-channel side frames extend wear life. Hinged doors provide wide-open cooler access, and operator station tilts forward 50 degrees for major service access. Standard 1,642-pound counterweight with optional 595-pound additional counterweight available for long arm configuration or enhanced lifting.
