John Deere 313, 315 Skid Steer Loaders

Like their bigger 300-Series siblings, John Deere's 313 and 315 skid steers are lightweight and agile, yet powerful, according to John Deere. At 5 feet wide, 60/40 weight distribution, and low center of gravity, the 315 can easily maneuver within confined areas. The 315 has a rated capacity of 1,500 pounds, tipping load of 3,000 pounds, and is driven by a 45-horsepower turbocharged, four-cylinder Deere diesel engine, which is Tier-4 certified. A radial boom design extends reach through the work zone and facilitates pickup truck and hopper loading.
