JOHN DEERE 80 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The John Deere 80 is a compact, mid-size hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile earthmoving applications on confined jobsites. Powered by a Yanmar 4TNE98-JCF naturally aspirated diesel engine, this four-cylinder machine delivers 55 net horsepower at 2,200 rpm with maximum torque of 165 lb-ft at 1,300 rpm from a 202 cubic inch displacement. The excavator weighs 15,706 lbs operating weight and features a streamlined profile with shipping dimensions of 20.1 feet in length, 9.5 feet in height, and 7.8 feet in track width, making it highly transportable between job sites. The hydraulic system utilizes a three variable-displacement axial-piston pump configuration with 4.5 gallons per minute flow capacity and operates at 2,000 psi system relief pressure. Total hydraulic fluid capacity is 16 gallons, supported by comprehensive filtration including a 10-micron full-flow return filter. The machine features a 10 rpm swing mechanism with smooth rotational control and accommodates a 24-volt electrical system with dual 12-volt batteries providing 180-minute reserve capacity. Operating specifications include a 35.7-gallon fuel tank, 2.3-gallon engine oil capacity, and 1.6-gallon cooling system fluid capacity, enabling extended operational periods with minimal refueling interruptions. The excavator maintains a 70% off-level operating capacity, allowing stable performance on moderately sloped terrain. This combination of compact dimensions, efficient hydraulic architecture, and reliable diesel power positions the John Deere 80 as an ideal solution for residential construction, utilities work, and landscaping applications where maneuverability and access are critical operational requirements.
