Combined with its low center of gravity and generous ground clearance, the CT315 is productively agile.

Would a smaller track loader squeeze more productivity out of a jobsite? Choose a John Deere CT315, the new small compact track loader (CTL) that delivers big-time performance.

Lightweight and agile, yet surprisingly powerful, this highly capable compact is the perfect size for work in confined spaces. Unlike comparable-sized CTLs, the 315's heavy duty planetary reduction final drive provides plenty of pushing power. It's also easy to trailer and easy on turf.

Like the larger Deere 300-Series CTLs, the CT315 delivers best-in-class stability, breakout force, and visibility. There's also a ton of features that make it easy to maintain. Check out the easy-to-fill large capacity fuel tank, the wide-open service access, and the self-cleaning Quik-Tatch™ unit with Never-Grease™ pins.

Little loader, big world
Don't let its small size fool you. The CT315 is ready, willing, and able to take on your world. Small? Sure. Its compact size allows it to slip easily through narrow openings and into tight spaces. So whether you're tiptoeing around zero lot lines or laboring in close quarters, you won't have any trouble fitting in more work.

But it's not the size of the loader in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the loader. Optimal 60/40-weight distribution gives it ample stability to handle heavy loads, while best-in-class pushing power and rated operating capacities deliver plenty of productive punch.

Visibility is best in class, so your operator will be more confident and productive -- especially in close quarters. Clear sightlines to the bucket or attachment, above and below the lift arms, and the jobsite behind are all reasons why people are less stressed after a long day on the CT315.

Simply remove two nuts and tilt the ROPS for wide open access to major components in less than two minutes.

Supersized comfort
Just because the CT315 can slip into tight spaces doesn't mean your operator should have to. Wide open entryways, slip-resistant steps, and convenient grab bars make it easy to settle into the adjustable high-back sculpted seat. For even more comfort, add a cab with highly efficient heater and defroster.

Smooth, responsive steering controls deliver precise low-effort control that won't overreact to a bump in the road or a first-time operator's unfamiliar touch. Decreased lever efforts and ergonomically correct, adjustable armrests also help reduce fatigue.

And like all John Deere machines, safety features abound. Triple-interlock operator-presence system automatically applies the brakes when the seat belt is unlatched, the operator leaves the seat, or the engine is shut down. The in-cab activated boom lock lets the operator secure the loader arms in an upright position before leaving the seat.   

Nothing lasts like this Deere
Many of the durability features found on larger Deere CTLs are employed on the CT315-- including sealed electrical connectors, O-ring face-seal hydraulic fittings, large cooler, and extended service intervals. The long-life undercarriage design incorporates many of the same components. Plus, a standard automatic shutdown system prevents overheating or low fluids from ruining your machine -- and your day.

Tight spaces aren't the only place this highly capable compact excels. It's tightfisted with your dollars, too. Everything about it has been designed to keep maintenance simple and daily operating costs low.

A swing-out rear door provides wide-open, ground-level access to cooling system components and daily service checkpoints. Refueling and other fluid additions are convenient and quick. Track tension adjusts quickly, and the easy-clean undercarriage is just that. And because no maintenance beats low maintenance, the engine's serpentine belt and hydraulic valve lifters never require adjustment.

Call your dealer today to put these versatile little track stars to work for you.
