JOHN DEERE 180C W CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The John Deere 180C W is a wheeled mobile excavator designed for robust digging, loading, and material handling tasks. It features two boom/stick options with maximum cutting heights of approximately 30.4 to 30.5 feet and maximum digging depths near 19 feet, providing an extensive operational reach of up to 30.7 feet along the ground. The machine achieves a maximum vertical wall dig depth of about 16.5 to 17.1 feet. Its shipping dimensions include a height of 11.6 feet and a length around 30.3 to 30.8 feet, optimizing transportation logistics. The excavator operates at an overall weight of about 41,447 lbs with a front and rear outriggers width extending from 8.4 feet to 12.2 feet when deployed, enhancing site stability. Powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (model 4BG1XABFA) with a displacement of 264 cubic inches, the unit delivers 121 hp (90 kW) and 330 lb-ft of torque, optimized for 2,200 rpm power output and 1,800 rpm torque peak. The hydraulic system uses a variable axial-piston pump with a flow capacity of 104 gpm and operates at a relief valve pressure of 4,980 psi, supporting precise and powerful boom, stick, and bucket movements. Fuel capacity is 74 gallons, and the operating voltage is 24 V. The excavator’s swing mechanism boasts a speed of 12.8 rpm and swing torque of 29,800 lb-ft, facilitating efficient maneuvering. The hydrostatic transmission provides two forward and two reverse gears with a maximum travel speed of 18.6 mph. Ground clearance measures 1.2 feet, with a tail swing radius of 8.1 feet and a wheelbase of 8.7 feet, combining mobility with stability for various construction environments. Overall, the 180C W balances power, reach, and nimbleness for mid-size excavation tasks.
