60G LC/180G LC 16–18 metric ton
Seeking big productivity in a mid-size package? 2 3 The enhanced 160G LC and all-new 180G LC will exceed your expectations. With impressive arm force, dig force, and lift capacity, they pack plenty of ability into easy-to-transport mid-size packages. Their more spacious and comfortable cabs come equipped with easy-tonavigate enhanced LCD monitors that let operators easily dial-in a wealth of machine info and functionality.
A longtime favorite because of its “load-and-go” versatility, the G-Series version of our popular 160 is even more capable. For those of you who said you’d like an even larger mid-size, there’s the all-new 180G LC. Weighing nearly 2100 kg (4,632 lb.) more than its smaller sibling, it also offers more reach, digging depth, lift capacity, and arm and bucket dig forces. The EPA IT4/EU Stage IIIB technology in our excavators is simple, fuel efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported.
Mid-size, no compromise. Whether you’re stockpiling overburden, excavating basements, loading trucks, or placing pipe, the G-Series provide the muscle and finesse you need. Their no-compromise Powerwise™ III hydraulic management systems yield the pinpoint metering and smooth-as-silk low-effort control that have become trademarks of our excavators. Plus, they’re highly maneuverable — easily transported to the site, and navigating easily through a project’s worth of tasks.

Operating ease takes a turn for the better. 6 7 Now it’s easier than ever for your operators to “dial things up.” The G-Series’ refined monitor employs a rotary control that makes it quick and easy to tap into an abundance of performance and convenience functions and features. Operators will also appreciate the comfortable fabric-covered high-back seat and increased legroom in the spacious, well-appointed cab.
With large self-cleaning steps and wide entryways, getting in and out of our excavators has never been easier. Spacious cab is comfortable and noticeably quiet. Silicone-filled mounts effectively isolate operators from noise and vibration. We’ve got your back with a sculpted mechanical-suspension high-back seat. Seat has 318 mm (12½ in.) of travel, sliding together or independent of the joystick console. So it won’t cramp an operator’s style.
Nothing runs like a Deere, because nothing is built like one. 8 9 1. With large idlers, rollers, and strutted links, the sealed and lubricated undercarriage delivers long and reliable performance. Unlike some excavators that scream for attention, our G-Series’ hydraulically driven on-demand fans run only as fast or often as needed. For reduced noise and fuel consumption. Their highly efficient cooling systems keep things running cool, even in high-trash environments and high altitudes.
A John Deere exclusive, three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress for unsurpassed durability. Booms, arms, and mainframes are so tough, they’re warranted for three years or 10,000 hours. Thick-plate single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames, and industry-exclusive double-seal swing bearing deliver rock-solid durability. Wet-sleeve cylinder liners, monosteel pistons, and large-diameter connecting rods ensure long-term engine durability.
Uncover all the ways we keep costs down. Like all John Deere machines, the G-Series are loaded with features that make them hassle-free to service and low cost to maintain. Large, easy-toopen service doors and easy-access service points make quick work of the daily routine. Remotemounted vertical oil and fuel filters and extended engine and hydraulic oil-change intervals minimize maintenance, too.
Seamless diesel particulate filter (© PF) cleaning happens automatically without impacting machine productivity. The © PF is easily removed through the top of the engine compartment. Minimum service interval is 4,500 hours and can be done by your John © eere dealer. Fluid-level sight gauges are conveniently located and can be checked at a glance. Optional reversing fan back-blows cooler cores to reduce debris buildup. It’s a welcome addition that helps increase uptime.
