John Deere 60 Quick Coupler System
Benefits of John Deere 60 Quick Coupler Systems
Every John Deere 60 comes standard with a manual, wear-compensating quick coupler. This crucial feature utilizes a wedge design on the locking bar, which actively tightens the coupler joint to compensate for wear over time, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. This mechanical quick coupler simplifies attachment changes, often requiring just one bolt and two pins, saving valuable time on the job site.
Buckets are essential for any excavator, and the John Deere 60 offers a wide selection in various sizes and styles, including ditch cleaning and heavy-duty options. The quick coupler system facilitates rapid bucket changes, allowing you to adapt to different excavation needs efficiently. Furthermore, the addition of a clamp, or thumb, expands the excavator’s capabilities. Used in conjunction with buckets, the clamp assists in handling bulky or irregularly shaped materials that may not fit entirely within the bucket alone.
Augers designed for the John Deere 60 feature a self-plumbing bit and reversible rotation. This thoughtful design allows for easy withdrawal of the auger if it encounters an obstruction, minimizing downtime and frustration. For even greater versatility, hydraulic hammers can be easily integrated. With a simple adaptor plate, these hammers become compatible with John Deere skid steers, making them a multi-functional attachment across your fleet. John Deere augers are compatible with a variety of bits, including rock, heavy-duty, standard, and tree/shrub bits, catering to diverse drilling requirements.
Hydraulic hammers are ideal attachments for demanding tasks such as quarry work, trenching, and concrete demolition. They excel at breaking rock, concrete flatwork, and walls, even around rebar or along precut lines, providing precise and powerful demolition capabilities.

Expanding Versatility with Pin-Grabber and Hydraulic Wedge Lock Couplers
John Deere compact excavators, including the 60, are designed to utilize common buckets and attachments. This standardization can be a significant advantage for customers who already own other John Deere compact machines, allowing for equipment sharing across their fleet.
Pin-grabber couplers further enhance versatility, particularly for underground and landscape applications where frequent attachment changes are the norm throughout the workday. These couplers offer a unique benefit: the operator can hook up to the bucket in reverse. This feature is invaluable when excavating under obstructions such as sidewalks and utilities, providing access to confined spaces. A comprehensive range of additional buckets, thumbs, and attachment mounting plates are available for use with pin-grabber couplers, further expanding the John Deere 60’s adaptability.
