Item Description

The John Deere 270D is a robust 28-ton D-Series crawler excavator introduced in 2009, designed for heavy earthmoving, site development, and utility work. It features a powerful 188 hp 6-cyl turbo engine paired with a high-flow hydraulic system for excellent digging, lifting, and swing performance. With optional long-arm reach configurations, operators can tackle deeper excavations and extended reach tasks. The factory-installed hydraulic thumb enhances material handling, demolition, and log/gravel loading efficiency.
