        • Take the 35D Mini Exc and add more breakout force and more horsepower

          I love my machine but I get into a lot of jobs that are perfect for the size of the 35D but require just that little extra from it. Another 3-5 horsepower and extra breakout force and this machine couldn't be beat!

            • pivot point in bucket

              If the bucket could rotate right and left it could be used to cut grades in the scoop possition or used to roll material to either side in the dump possition.

                • excavators with dozer blade put float position on blade control

                  I have a 2004 Hitachi 135 with leveling blade. It would be great if you could install a float position for the blade

                    • Add some extra heat insulation to the JD35D

                      The heat that generates off the engine can make an operator in a EROPS unit over heated on a warm day. They need to add extra insulation along the controls and under the seat/cab. Also two more air/heat ducts on the left side of the cab or on the side of the seat under the arm rest.

                      • Blade Mounted Hydraulic Motor on Mini Excavator

                        Give the Mini Ex the capability to use boring stems and other horizonal attachments without having to change boom attachments. This saves time on most types of underground installation.
