JOHN DEERE 290G LC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The John Deere 290G LC is a mid-size hydraulic excavator engineered for demanding construction applications requiring extended reach and superior digging capability. Powered by a turbocharged PowerTech PVX 6.8L six-cylinder engine producing 188 horsepower at 2,100 rpm, this machine delivers 140 kW of net rated power with a displacement of 415 cubic inches. The excavator operates with a 2-speed propel system featuring automatic transmission, achieving maximum travel speeds of 2.1 mph in low gear and 3.4 mph in high gear, generating a drawbar pull of 55,336 pounds. The 290G LC accommodates two boom configurations: Option 1 provides a maximum cutting height of 33.7 feet and vertical wall digging depth of 21.3 feet, while Option 2 extends capabilities with a maximum reach along ground of 36.5 feet and vertical digging depth of 23.2 feet. Equipped with buckets ranging from 1.0 to 2.1 cubic yards with a reference capacity of 1.4 cubic yards, the machine delivers arm digging force between 121.3 and 127.0 kN. Operating at an even 30,090 kilograms (66,338 pounds), the excavator maintains a ground pressure of 6.1 psi with 32-inch triple semi-grouser shoes. The hydraulic system operates at 565.7 psi with a 9 gallon-per-minute pump flow capacity and 63.5-gallon fluid capacity. Featuring a 12.6 rpm swing mechanism producing 77,140 Newton-meters of torque, sealed and lubricated track components, and a 100-amp alternator on 24-volt electrical architecture, the 290G LC represents a robust platform for professional excavation work.
