Two new additions to the John Deere Skid Steer family – the 313 and 315 – have rated operating capacities of 1,300 and 1,500 pounds, respectively. They feature 45-hp engines that are certified to EPA Interim Tier 4 emissions levels, as well as electronic controls for better idle stability, cold start performance and transient response.
Standard machine width is 59 inches but that can be reduced to just 56 inches with 7 by 15 inch tires.
A key feature of the 313 and 315 is the radial lift boom, a design that is preferred by customers who work in enclosed areas for super compactness. The bucket rests close to the machine when in the down position and swings forward for great reach in the “work zone” four- to five-foot range. Cushioned bucket and lift cylinders provide smooth deceleration at the end of the boom lower position, also cushioning the bucket when curling and dumping a load. This feature provides less noise and reduced material spillage in any operation. Uninterrupted views to the sides, both above and below the lift arms, lets the operator see the tires and ground around the machine with the boom is in the rest position. These machines are equipped with a John Deere PowerTech 4024T four-cylinder 2.4-litre engine rated at 2,400 rpm for smooth operation, low noise and maximum fuel efficiency. The engine provides massive torque and torque-rise performance for superior engine-lugging capability while working heavy loads. Automatic shut-down control is standard equipment on these models to prevent overheating or running low on fluids. Also standard are auto-preheat, job clock and low fuel warning features.
The optional power Quik-Tatch system provides effortless attachment engagement-disengagement from the operator’s seat at the push of a button. An integral, in-seat boom lock – a Deere exclusive – is engaged and disengaged from within the safety of the operator station and can never be lost or misplaced. A triple interlock park brake system ensures the operator is in the seated position with the seat belt engaged prior to machine movement. Spring-applied, hydraulically released wet disk brakes automatically engage anytime the seat belt is unfastened, the operator leaves the seated position, the engine is shut down or the park brake is engaged. Deere says that their patented Quik-Tatch hitch is the industry’s easiest to engage and disengage for the life of the machine. Its rotating pawl mechanism requires no greasing and cleans itself every time its used. A quick-pivoting operator station provides wide-open access to major components – simply remove two nuts and raise the operator station in two minutes or less.
