Benefits

Uptime Advantage
Sideboom-ready pipelayer platform and mounting plates with pin-up/bolt-on design simplify installation and speed setup. PL models share common machine components with our proven dozer lineup, simplifying parts inventory, easing service, and boosting uptime when you have other Deere machines in your fleet.

Reliable Stability
Purpose-built track configurations provide a stable pipelaying platform. Fixed undercarriages enable wide machine stances for steady track-on-the-ground balance as you work the trenches.

Purpose-Built Pipelayer Controls
Pipelayer controls are seamlessly integrated into the low-effort electrohydraulic (EH) joysticks, with a thumb roller providing smooth, precise control and a quick-drop button for emergencies. A boom/load motor-speed switch allows the operator to select between low and high speeds while also controlling the boom and load winches at the same time.
