When you choose to rent the 2026 John Deere 135P from Riverside Equipment Rentals, you’re getting a purpose-built mid-size excavator arriving fully loaded — hydraulic blade, quick-coupler, thumb, two buckets, AFL aux kit, pattern changer, swap valve, stump pan, and full cab guarding all included. At 33,920 LB with a 9’11” long stick, 29’2″ of reach, and 20 feet of dig depth, the 135P is the right machine when you need serious capability without moving up to a larger class. Here are the key features that make the John Deere 135P the ideal choice for your project:
Fully Equipped — Everything Included: Unit arrives with a hydraulic work blade (8’10”), wedge-style Q/C coupler, hydraulic thumb, 30″ digging bucket, 54″ clean-up bucket, AFL auxiliary hydraulic flow attachment kit, HD undercarriage, stump pan, swap valve, CAT/Deere pattern changer, combo plumbing with ball valve on stick, 2 extra cab-mounted LED lights, fire extinguisher, and front screen and roof cab guarding — one of the most complete attachment packages available on any rental unit in the region.
101 HP Isuzu 3.0L Tier 4 Final Engine: The proven Isuzu 3.0L Final Tier 4 diesel delivers 101 HP of reliable, clean-burning power. With a 220L fuel tank and 12L DEF tank, the 135P is built for long-duration shifts on remote or high-production project sites across the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and the Lower Mainland without frequent fuel stops.
9’11” Long Stick — 29’2″ Reach & 20’0″ Dig Depth: The extended 9’11” long stick gives the 135P exceptional reach and dig depth for its class — ideal for deep utility trenching, pond and drainage construction, foundation work, slope grading, and pipeline corridor excavation where maximizing production per machine position is critical.
Three Welded Bulkhead Boom Design: The three welded bulkhead boom construction delivers superior structural rigidity under heavy torsional and side loads. This proven design extends structural service life on high-cycle, high-force applications including rock breaking, heavy material handling, and demanding demolition-adjacent site work.
HD Undercarriage with 28″ Triple Semi-Grouser Steel Pads: The heavy-duty undercarriage combined with 28″ wide triple semigrouser steel pads provides the track grip, flotation, and durability needed for demanding BC terrain — from wet riverside conditions to compacted gravel and rocky hillside work — while protecting undercarriage longevity over an extended rental lifecycle.
AFL Aux Hydraulic Kit — CAT/Deere Pattern Changer — Swap Valve: The AFL (Auxiliary Flow) attachment kit, combined with the CAT/Deere pattern changer and swap valve, means the 135P is immediately compatible with virtually any hydraulic attachment on your site — hammers, compactors, augers, tilting couplers, mulching heads — without re-plumbing or adapters. The ball valve on stick adds further flow control flexibility.
Hydraulic Steel Work Blade (8’10”): The front-mounted hydraulic work blade makes the 135P self-sufficient for backfilling, leveling spoil material, fine grading approaches, and stabilizing the machine on steep terrain — reducing the need for a separate grading machine and maximizing productivity per mobilization on your project.
Short-Throw Pilot Levers with Power / Economy Modes: Short-throw pilot controls minimize operator input effort and fatigue during continuous operation. Power mode delivers maximum output for high-production digging and breaking; Economy mode reduces fuel consumption during lighter-duty work such as grading, backfilling, and material handling.
Full Deluxe Cab with Multi-Language LCD Monitor & Rear Camera: The full-size deluxe cab features heat and A/C, radio, multilanguage LCD in-cab monitor with rear-view camera, LED lighting, and front screen and roof cab guarding — providing operators with the visibility, comfort, and protection needed for long shifts in BC’s variable project conditions.
Anti-Theft Monitor with Operator Codes & Battery Disconnect: The anti-theft monitor with multiple operator access codes and battery disconnect / night switch provides strong machine security on unsupervised or multi-crew project sites — protecting your rental investment and reducing unauthorized use risk throughout the rental period.
