2026 John Deere Landscaping & Grounds Care 85 P-Tier

When we designed the 85 P-Tier, we started with a larger, brand-new cab to keep operators comfortable. Then we combined the agility and adaptability of our smaller compact models with the productive performance and versatile capabilities of the largest excavators in our wide-ranging lineup. And we amped up engine horsepower by 17 percent compared to the previous model, added a turbocharger for improved performance at elevated altitudes, increased dig forces and hydraulic pressure, and optimized machine stability by 10 percent.
