John Deere adds the small frame CT315 to its compact track loader line. The 45-hp unit already meets interim Tier 4 emissions standards and becomes Deere’s first radial lift compact track loader, as well as its smallest, with a 12.6- in.-wide track and a narrow overall machine width of just over 60 in. While the CT315 is compact, it provides a 1,500-lb rated operating capacity.

The CT315 offers a 360° view that is uninterrupted to the sides, both above and below the lift arms. John Deere’s 60/40 weight distribution from the back to the front of the machine gives operators stability, power and maneuverability under load. Under the hood, the Deere PowerTech™ 4024T 4- cylinder 2.4-L engine provides superior engine lugging capability while working heavy loads.

Twin bucket cylinders mounted on each side of the lift arms provide wide opening to make it easy to enter and exit the operator station. Standard features include high-back ergonomic and adjustable seating and adjustable armrests.
