JOHN DEERE 135G CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The John Deere 135G is a mid-sized excavator designed for versatile construction and utility applications, offering an operating weight of approximately 30,617 lbs (13,900 kg). It is powered by a 97 hp (72 kW) diesel engine that meets Tier 4/Stage IV emissions standards, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations. The machine features a maximum digging depth of 19.7 to 20 feet (about 6 meters), allowing it to perform deep excavation tasks efficiently. The 135G excavator is equipped with advanced hydraulic systems, including the Powerwise™ III hydraulic management system, which optimizes engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation and fuel efficiency. It provides high bucket breakout forces of approximately 104 kN (23,380 lbf) and arm digging forces near 65-70 kN, supporting heavy-duty material handling and digging cycles. Its swing mechanism delivers a swing speed of about 13.3 rpm with 34,000 Nm (25,000 lb-ft) torque, ensuring smooth and powerful movement. The excavator’s chassis includes 600 mm steel track shoes with a gauge width of about 1.99 m (6 ft 6 in) and 410 mm ground clearance optimized for rugged terrain. Travel speeds range from 3.4 to 5.5 km/h (2.1 to 3.4 mph), while the machine offers a tractive force of about 110 kN (24,700 lbf). Operator comfort is enhanced through features such as low-effort pilot hydraulic controls, a multi-language LCD monitor, air-suspension high-back seat, and automatic climate control. The reduced-tail-swing design enables work in confined spaces without compromised control or visibility, making the John Deere 135G an efficient, reliable choice for demanding excavation projects.
