Product highlights

• The swing boom, standard on the ZX85USB-3, enables easy and efficient ditching next to objects like walls or guardrails, making it ideal for excavation and utility work.
• Backfill blade shape is more productive and easier to see by the operator and provides additional machine stability.
• The cab design on the ZX85USB-3 is different from the other three ultrashort models to accommodate the path of the swing boom.
• Exceptional drawbar pull delivers plenty of power for backfilling trenches or transporting material around jobsites. 
• Pilot-control operated, box-constructed integral blade works well for backfilling and grading, making this highly versatile machine even more capable. 
• The spacious, well-appointed, isolation-mounted cab is quiet and provides excellent all-around visibility. 
• Optional ZXLink™ wireless communications system.
