The John Deere 135D is a compact hydraulic excavator in the Deere D-Series lineup, designed for general excavation, utility work, site preparation, and material handling. It is commonly used in construction, landscaping, municipal, and rental applications where maneuverability and digging performance are required in a smaller machine size. The 135D features a conventional tail swing design, a diesel engine, hydraulic boom and arm controls, and an operator cab or canopy configuration depending on specification. Typical attachments include buckets, thumbs, and hydraulic tools. The model is recognized for its balance of digging depth, transportability, and versatility in confined jobsite conditions.
