JOHN DEERE 600C LC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The John Deere 600C LC is a heavy-duty crawler excavator engineered for demanding earthmoving and excavation applications. Powered by a turbocharged Isuzu BB-6WG1X engine, this machine delivers 396 SAE net horsepower and 1,140 lb-ft of maximum torque, providing robust performance across varied jobsite conditions. The excavator features a hydraulic system with 117 gallons-per-minute flow capacity and 4,480 psi relief valve pressure, enabling efficient bucket and attachment operation. With an operating weight of 131,700 pounds, the 600C LC accommodates multiple boom and arm configurations to optimize reach and digging depth. Maximum capabilities include cutting heights up to 40.4 feet, digging depths reaching 32.9 feet, and ground reach extending 46.8 feet, depending on configuration selection. The machine's swing mechanism delivers 9.8 rpm rotational speed with 133,245 lb-ft swing torque, facilitating productive material handling. The undercarriage utilizes 36-inch shoes with nine track rollers per side, generating a modest 9.3 psi ground pressure ideal for sensitive terrain work. Maximum drawbar pull reaches 92,170 pounds, enabling efficient transport and obstacle navigation at speeds up to 3.1 mph. Bucket capacities range from 2.3 to 6.4 cubic yards, accommodating various material handling requirements. The excavator's compact tail swing radius of 12.5 feet and minimal ground clearance enhance operational flexibility in confined spaces. Fuel capacity of 196 gallons supports extended operational periods, while comprehensive fluid systems—including 81 gallons hydraulic capacity and 17.5 gallons cooling system capacity—ensure reliable performance and thermal management throughout demanding applications.
