JOHN DEERE 130G CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The John Deere 130G is a mid-size excavator powered by a 4.5L PowerTech™ diesel engine that delivers 73 kW (98 hp) of net power, meeting EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4) and EU Stage IV emissions standards. This compact tracked machine features an operating weight of approximately 31,604 lbs, making it suitable for confined job sites while maintaining impressive digging capabilities. The excavator achieves a maximum digging depth of 19 ft. 9 in. and a maximum reach along the ground of 28 ft. 9 in., enabling operators to access challenging excavation tasks with precision. The machine is equipped with John Deere's Powerwise™ III hydraulic management system, offering three productivity modes—High Productivity, Power, and Economy—to optimize fuel efficiency based on operational requirements. The 130G generates a maximum bucket digging force of 96 kN (21,480 lbf) and arm digging force of 60 kN (13,521 lbf), providing substantial breakout power for demanding applications. Its compact design includes overall undercarriage dimensions of 11 ft. 9 in. in length and 8 ft. 10 in. in width, with a tailswing radius of 7 ft. 2 in., facilitating operation in tight spaces. The cab offers excellent visibility and ergonomic controls with short-throw pilot levers, while the sculpted mechanical-suspension seat reduces operator fatigue during extended work sessions. Standard features include a thick-plate single-sheet mainframe and double-seal swing bearing for enhanced durability. The 130G excels in site development, earthmoving, landscaping, utility work, and demolition applications.
