JOHN DEERE 180G LC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The John Deere 180G LC is a mid-size crawler excavator engineered for versatile jobsite applications including stockpiling, basement excavation, truck loading, and pipe placement. Powered by a robust 4.5-liter diesel engine, this machine delivers 128 horsepower (95 kW) of reliable, fuel-efficient performance through John Deere's Powerwise Plus technology, which intelligently balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation across three productivity modes: High, Power, and Economy. The excavator features an impressive maximum digging depth of 23.2 feet and a maximum reach along ground level of 32.7 feet, providing substantial capability in a transportable midsize package. With an operating weight of 45,170 pounds, the machine maintains excellent mobility while delivering exceptional arm forces and dig forces for demanding tasks. The 180G LC incorporates a comfortable, spacious cab equipped with an automatic climate-control system, ergonomically designed pilot levers, and enhanced LCD monitoring for operator convenience. Key features include a fuel tank capacity of 75.3 gallons, swing speed of 12.8 rpm with 36,029 foot-pounds of torque, and a tail-swing radius of 8.37 feet, enabling efficient operation in confined spaces. Optional enhancements include adjustable rotary precleaner, high-flow auxiliary hydraulic packages, and various track widths and bucket configurations. The machine employs a hydraulic single-pedal propel system for straight-line tracking and includes standard pattern-control features. Auto-idle technology reduces engine speed to 900 rpm when hydraulics aren't in use, while auto-shutdown further conserves fuel.
