CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT E X C A V AT O R S MODEL NO.
The 120C is rated at 89 SAE net hp and the 160C LC at 109 net hp. EXCAVATORS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE Small excavators with big enough reach: The 120C has a maximum digging depth of 17 feet, 10 inches (8-foot, 3-inch arm), while the 160C LC has a digging depth of 20 feet, 10 inches (10-foot, 2-inch arm).
Like all C-Series excavators, the 120C and 160C LC feature welded bulkheads inside the boom and arm to resist torsion stress. They also have thickened plates — three in the boom and one in the arm — to add strength and durability. This way to profits. It’s easy to take the 120C and 160C LC from job to job; all you need is a dump truck and a tag-along trailer.
Bring on the Heat. These excavators are very smart. A diagnostic display unit gives technicians the ability to read diagnostic codes and engine operating parameters such as fuel pressure, coolant temperature, and manifold temperature.
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT EXCAVATORS ENGINE & SYSTEMS The John Deere PowerTech engine in the 120C and 160C LC is charge-air cooled to improve fuel economy and engine durability while reducing emissions. The top and bottom tanks of the heavyduty cooling system are heavy wall extrusions that are TIG welded to the core for maximum durability. Wide fin spacing in the cooling system allows trash to pass through the cores, while a removable trash screen helps eliminate plugging.
The operator station floats on six silicon fluidfilled elastic mounts that take the shock out of the cab and make for very smooth operators. Sit back and relax. With our new, adjustable lumbar support, you’ll think you’re cruising in a luxury car or SUV. There’s plenty of glass in the operator station, giving you outstanding sight lines. Adjustable vents are everywhere. That makes it even easier for the “blend air” climatecontrol system to keep your working environment constantly comfortable.
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT EXCAVATORS OPERATOR STATION Productivity Place. Smoke-tinted sunroof hatch helps you keep an eye on overhead obstructions. Comes with a retractable shade to reduce glare. We’ve thought of the little things, too: A 12-volt cellular phone jack, beverage cooler, and oversized cup holder are all standard equipment. Operators need to be comfortable to do their best work.
