2025 Wacker Neuson ET90

The 2025 Wacker Neuson ET90 is a 9-ton conventional tail excavator known for its "3-pin" bucket linkage system that provides high breakout forces and a 200-degree angle of rotation. Modern models (post-2020) sold in the USA are typically equipped with a Perkins engine, while older versions (pre-2020) often used Deutz powerplants.

Key Features and Details

• 3-Pin Bucket Linkage: This unique design increases the bucket's angle of rotation to 200 degrees, allowing for deeper vertical digs and better material retention.
• Compact Design: Features a low center of gravity and a compact tail swing radius of roughly 5.2 ft, making it suitable for confined jobsites.
• Hydraulic Versatility: Comes with up to four optional control circuits and an in-cab electronic control pattern changeover as standard.
• Operator Comfort: The enclosed cab includes a 3.5-inch color LCD display, air-ride seat, and air conditioning as standard or high-level options.
