EXCAVATORS
C-Series
Whether you’re adding an agile, niche machine that’s just the right size or building your
business by graduating from a backhoe to your first excavator, John Deere’s 12-metric-
ton 120C and 16-metric-ton 160C LC Excavators deserve a real close look. They’re small
machines with big machine feel and productivity.
These dynamos come with the same goodies as machines at the heavier end of the new
C-Series line, like rugged and reliable John Deere PowerTech
TM
engines, heavy-duty cooling
systems, reinforced booms, and operator stations that verge on self-indulgent.
Every day your customers expect big things from you in the way of productivity and
versatility. The only way to deliver for them is to work with machines that will do the
same for you. Call your John Deere dealer today for a demo.

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).

PERFORMANCE
The 120C is rated at 89 SAE net hp
and the 160C LC at 109 net hp.
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.
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.
Deere’s exclusive Powerwize

II engine/hydraulic
management system balances hydraulic pressure
and flow, maximizing engine output, saving fuel,
and enabling smooth multi-function operation.

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.

ENGINE & SYSTEMS
Wide fin spacing in the cooling system
allows trash to pass through the cores,
while a removable trash screen helps
eliminate plugging.
The top and bottom tanks of the heavyduty cooling system are heavy wall
extrusions that are TIG welded to the
core for maximum durability.
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.
Remember the old adage, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen”? Well, these
excavators will stay in the kitchen longer than a chef at a four-star restaurant. That’s due
largely to the heavy-duty cooling system.
It features an aluminum bar-plate design with high-temp liquid-braze process for
superior strength. There’s also the hybrid steel-and-plastic fan with an airfoil-blade design
that results in more cooling performance while using less horsepower. Plus the fan runs
much quieter, which may help you think about your next big project.
The John Deere 4.5-liter PowerTech turbocharged and charge-air-cooled engine provides
steady power and meets the EPA and CARB emission non-road regulations. It’s just one more
confidence-building feature that will help you cook up more business and higher profits.
