JOHN DEERE 160G EXCAVATOR
19 TON EXCAVATOR
The John Deere 160G LC is a premium, 18-ton class hydraulic crawler excavator specifically designed to bring big-machine production, rapid cycle speeds, and heavy-duty lift capacity into a highly transportable, mid-size footprint. Powered by a fuel-efficient John Deere PowerTech™ 4.5L engine, it meets strict Tier 4 Final emissions without compromising on high-torque recovery when digging through packed soil, rock, or clay.
An essential asset for general contractors and rental fleets, it is equipped with a long undercarriage (LC) structure that delivers optimal ground-bearing stability and exceptional over-side lifting capacities. Operators can choose between three distinct work modes (High-Productivity, Power, and Economy) to precisely align performance with fuel burn targets. For maximum versatility, the machine features low-effort short-throw pilot joysticks with standard auxiliary hydraulics to power attachments like hammers, thumbs, or compactors, alongside an automatic "Power Boost" function that supplies an instant surge of hydraulic muscle to clear tough subterranean obstructions.
