2011 John Deere 35D mini excavator. The 35D is widely considered an industry favorite in the 3.5-ton compact class, renowned for its bulletproof Yanmar diesel engine, exceptionally smooth hydraulic controls, and true zero-tail-swing setup that lets you rotate safely alongside fences, structures, and trees. Track drives pull hard, auxiliary hydraulic plumbing allows you to easily run hydraulic thumbs, augers, or breakers, and the front backfill dozer blade provides great stability while backfilling trenches quickly. Operator station is clean, controls are tight, house swing is smooth, and undercarriage rubber tracks are in solid shape with good life remaining.
