2026 Brandt 160P

Whether you’re moving up from a backhoe to an excavator as you build your business or adding an agile niche machine that’s the next big thing for your fleet, the reimagined 130 P-Tier Excavator can meet your needs and exceed your expectations. This versatile machine can take care of any task, whether that’s digging footings, loading trucks, or installing utilities — you name it. With customer-inspired standards like a control pattern-change valve that eases operation, a fuel-shutoff lever for conserving critical resources, or an optional deluxe LED lighting package to illuminate your surroundings, this precision performer can fit in more work on a wide variety of jobsites.

Features may include:

Powerful technology.

• John Deere Powerwise Plus™ technology delivers on-demand power, while metered pilot control delivers precise pump flow for reliable and fuel-efficient performance.

In your comfort zone.

• Its quiet and spacious cab features a standard rear-view camera for enhanced awareness. A sculpted high-back seat with mechanical-suspension slides with or without the joystick console, keeping operators comfortably supported.

Know as you go.

• The multi-language LCD monitor and rotary dial provide intuitive access to a wealth of information and functions. Just turn and tap to select work mode, access operating info, check maintenance intervals, source diagnostic codes, adjust cab temperature, tune the radio, and much more.

Effortless control.

• The short-throw pilot sticks are ergonomically optimized, enabling smooth and predictable fingertip control with minimal movement or effort. Push buttons in the right lever allow predictable control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments. Plus, an optional sliding switch features provides proportional speed control.

See it like never before.

• Integrated into the main monitor, an optional rear left camera system with additional LED surround lighting work together to supplement 270-degree visibility of the area around the machine, even in low-light conditions.

Keep moving forward.

• The hydraulic, single-pedal propel system is a factory-installed option that enables straight-line machine tracking without operator articulation of both hand levers and foot pedals.

The choice is yours.

• Choose from a variety of track widths, arm lengths, buckets, high-flow auxiliary hydraulic packages, and other options to suit the application.

Boost your leverage.

• When the digging gets tough, simply press the standard power-boost button on the right-hand control and muscle through.

Tough enough.
Some features that make this excavator tougher than the average bear include:

• Large idlers, rollers, and strutted links that enable the undercarriage to withstand and command.
• Single-sheet mainframes with thick plates, box-section track frames, and industry-exclusive swing bearings with double seals that deliver rock-solid durability.
• Three welded bulkheads within the boom that resist torsional stress.

Light things up.

• Standard LED work lights with optional deluxe LED lights positioned on the boom, toolbox, and cab front and rear shine when your workday extends beyond the daylight. These lights use less power, output more light, and last longer than halogens. They are also easy to replace when necessary.

You’ll be a fan.

• The heavy-duty cooling system is highly efficient, keeping things cool even in tough environments or high altitudes. The suction-type fan with a cool-on-demand feature helps reduce material buildup and maintenance.
