John Deere announced on Feb. 25 that it will be adding three new Final Tier 4-emission certified excavators to its G-Series lineup – the 130G, 160G LC and 180G LC. These construction-class machines are equipped with varying horsepower and features to tackle a wide range of jobs.
"With powerful digging force, swing torque, and lift capacities that make the most of every gallon of fuel, the 130G, 160G LC and 180G LC are an exceptional addition to any fleet," said Mark Wall, excavator product marketing manager of John Deere Construction & Forestry. "In addition to the emissions update, we used this as an opportunity to add a few customer inspired features like a programmable thumb attachment, rear view camera and light packages."
The 130G (98 hp), 160G LC (121 hp) and 180G LC (128 hp) can work up to 15,000 hours before needing ash removal. All three machines have optimal total fuel economy, and the fuel tank comes with a spill guard for easy servicing.
Additionally, the John Deere excavators have a ninepin diagnostic connector in the cab to reduce diagnostic testing time for technicians. A rear view camera provides more visibility to the rear of the cab, and an updated hood design allows for maximum visibility during operation.
