“The XT850’s dual-pivot excavator system gives you incredible offset digging capability,” says Product Manager Mike Lumbers. “You can dig against a footing or wall and dig a number of trenches from one spot without having to move the unit.”
Rubber tracks are standard. The diesel-powered XT850 offers optional aggressive rubber tracks. All of the XT850’s functions are controlled with two joysticks.
Only a 3/4-ton truck is necessary to transport the entire XT850 package – excavator tool-carrier, trailer, and attachments – which weighs less than 10,000 pounds GVWR.
“The XT850 can drive more than 70 attachments,” says Lumbers. “For certain construction companies and contractors, it could be the only piece of equipment they’ll ever need.
