The 60-hp (44.7 kW) RT55 is designed for the toughest, tightest landscapes. Compact, powerful, and equipped with a low-noise Deutz engine, the RT55 works efficiently and inconspicuously even in the most sensitive urban settings. And with its multiple attachments, the RT55 is as versatile as you want it to be.
Integrated front cast weight reduces the need for extended weight racks, no matter which attachment is used.
Quiet, emissions-compliant Deutz engine is built for maximum power and minimal maintenance.

The 74-hp (55.2 kW) RT75 has the compact size and muscle you need for tight residential or commercial jobsites. And you can throw that muscle around in a variety of ways with an assortment of trenchers plus saw, backhoe, vibratory plow, reel carrier, and combination trencher/plow attachments.
Solid backfill blade lift arms and cast blade pivot increase structural strength of the backfill components.
Planetary axles with locking differentials make maximum use of torque at the wheel and offer high ground clearance.
Four-point tie-downs (at each corner of the machine) provide increased hauling security.

The HT115 sports a turbocharged, 115-hp (85.8 kW) John Deere engine and a dependable hydrostatic transmission to keep it running strong all day long. The HT115 features AutoTrack, an easy-to-use track drive system, and a choice of rubber tracks for urban jobs or steel tracks for off-road applications. You get plenty of choices with the HT115 and one common denominator: power.
Massive one-piece rigid frame design helps increase capacity and endurance.
Large selection of hydrostatic attachments—as well as a choice of two front-mount utility backhoes and a reel carrier—helps increase jobsite productivity.
