John Deere announced on June 30 that it has updated the John Deere 135G and 245G LC reduced-tail swing excavators. The machines, which are a part of the John Deere G-Series, are now designed to provide more productivity and uptime with low daily operating costs for customers.
"The tail-swing radius of the 135G and 245G LC excavators helps contractors work through the challenges of tight operating spaces with the ability to work in and around obstacles," said Mark Wall, excavator product marketing manager and John Deere Construction & Forestry.
"Aside from the emissions update, we've used this opportunity to add a few features based on customer feedback, including a standard rearview camera, standard factory-installed auxiliary hydraulics with programmable attachment modes and upper structure handrails that provide multiple points of contact when accessing the engine compartment."
The John Deere 135G and 245G LC have Powerwise™ III hydraulic systems, which balance the engine’s performance with hydraulic flow for predictable operation. They also grouped service points and at-a-glance gauges, which make maintenance quick and easy.
On June 23, John Deere also announced upgrades to the John Deere 870G LC model, which is also a part of the G-Series excavator line. Similar to the 135G and 245G LC, the machine features the Powerwise III engine hydraulic management system.
