ET65 Tracked Conventional Excavator: the most powerful in its class

The ET65 is an excavator that users want. A high-performance machine that surprises with its compact design and maneuverability. The strong excavation performance thanks to high digging forces and the powerful engine are additional plus points that make the excavator an all-rounder on the construction site.

Features May Include:

Powerful drive system with LUDV

• The powerful drive system combines with a load-sensing hydraulic system (LUDV) to deliver quick working cycles, greater application flexibility, and easier control for comfortable and fatigue-free operation of the excavator. No matter what the load to be moved, the control movements on the joystick stay the same. Along with increased operating comfort, this results in a performance plus, while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption.

3-point kinematics

• With 3-point kinematics, the conventional bucket linkage has been taken to a new level. This "3-bolt" design extends the bucket's angle of rotation to 200 degrees - 10% more than conventional bucket linkage. This increases the vertical dig depth as well as the digging forces. This eliminates the need to reposition the excavator as often, significantly increasing efficiency.

More cab comfort

• The ergonomically optimized operator's cab ensures maximum operating comfort. In addition, an offset arm position, various windshield positions, a sunshade and a large skylight provide optimal visibility. Numerous other equipment options, such as heated seats, automatic air conditioning, a rearview camera with 7-inch display and an air-cushioned operator's seat help to make the workplace even more comfortable.

Powerful automatic climate control

• The automatic climate control system provides consistent cooling. The air-conditioning system and fan operate until the set temperature is reached.  The system then switches off and starts up again, as soon as the interior sensors measure the deviation from the set temperature.

Long dipper stick

• A long dipper stick increases the digging depth, reach and dumping height of the excavator.

8 large tie-downs

• Six large tie-downs on the vehicle chassis and two on the dozer blade make loading and transport easy and safe.
• The eyelets are perfectly placed for secure attachment of the machine and they are also suitable for large hooks.

Jog dial

• The jog dial system, familiar from the automotive area, including a clear display, allows intuitive selection of the right operating settings via a press-push button as well as various settings via a keypad. ECO mode is the standard mode for efficient and fuel-saving work; HI mode stands for maximum pump performance and fast, powerful work and LOW mode for extremely precise, sensitive work.

2 operating modes, ECO/POWER

• The two preset operating modes ECO and POWER differ from each other in engine speed and pump power. They allow easy adjustment of the excavator to the activity to be performed in order to work in the optimal fuel consumption range. In ECO mode, the focus is on economy, while in POWER mode, the focus is on work performance.
