meet rigid emission regulations, enabling you to work, wherever there’s work — even in
nonattainment areas. And of course, you’ll enjoy typical John Deere smoothness, control, and
operating ease. Why settle for anything less?

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. It employs field-proven
cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel
enables your dealer to read diagnostic codes, record performance data,
and even update software without a trip to the jobsite. It’s the most
comprehensive, easy-to-use suite of technology available for increasing
uptime and productivity while lowering operating costs. And it’s only
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. So you can get in, get done, and get on to the next job.
Powerwise III perfectly balances engine
performance and hydraulic flow for predictable
operation. Three productivity modes allow
you to choose the digging style that fits the
job. High productivity delivers more power
and faster hydraulic response to move more
material. Power delivers smooth and balanced
metering for normal operation. Economy
reduces top speed and helps save fuel.
Choose from a variety of track widths, arm
lengths, buckets, high-flow auxiliary hydraulic
packages, and other options.
Machine Information Center (MIC) captures
and stores vital machine performance and
utilization data to help improve productivity,
uptime, and profit.
1. For work that requires extra finesse,
the G-Series’ short-throw low-effort
controls, unmatched metering, and
smooth multi-function operation
give the precision you need.
2. Generous flow, arm force, and swing
torque help speed cycles. So you can
do your best to stay on schedule
or ahead of the weather.
3. When the digging gets tough,
simply press the power-boost
button on the right-hand
control and muscle through.

Operating ease takes a turn
for the better.
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. As always, unsurpassed all-round visibility,
low-effort joysticks, a highly efficient HVAC system, and numerous other amenities provide everything
your operators need to do their best work.
Page 7
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. For even more support and comfort,
opt for the air-suspension heated seat.
Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot
levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip
control with less movement or effort. Push
buttons in the right lever allow fingertip
control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for
operating attachments.
No shortage of storage in here. There’s a
place for a cooler, cup holders, and even a
hot/cold box that keeps beverages at just
the right temperature.

Standard boom/frame lights and cab/
boom-mounted options provide illumination
to extend your workday beyond normal
daylight hours.
1. Multi-language LCD monitor and rotary
dial provide intuitive access to a wealth of
information and functions. Just turn and
tap to select work mode, access operating
info, check maintenance intervals, source
diagnostic codes, adjust cab temperature,
and tune the radio. Plus much more.
2. Wide expanse of front and side glass,
narrow front cab posts, large overhead
glass, and numerous mirrors provide
virtually unobstructed all-around visibility.
If you need to see more, choose the
optional camera that displays the action
behind on the monitor.
3. Automatic, high-velocity bi-level climatecontrol system with automotive-style
adjustable louvers helps keep the glass
clear and the cab comfortable.

1. With large idlers, rollers, and strutted links,
is built like one.
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. Other traditional

A John Deere exclusive, three
welded bulkheads within the
boom resist torsional stress for
unsurpassed durability. Booms,
arms, and mainframes are so tough,
Tungsten-carbide coating creates
an extremely wear-resistant
surface to protect the allimportant bucket-to-arm joint.

for maximum strength and impact absorption.
Hammer-free installation and removal
simplifies changes, minimizes downtime.

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. Remote-
mounted vertical oil and fuel filters and extended
engine and hydraulic oil-change intervals minimize
maintenance, too. Plus the Machine Information
Center (MIC), state-of-the-art LCD color monitor,
and fluid-sample ports help you make timely
decisions about machine upkeep — and enable
you to manage uptime and costs.
scheduled maintenance intervals
and issues reminders. Should a
problem arise, it provides diagnostic
information to help decrease
downtime.
2. Fluid-sample and remote diagnostic
ports help speed preventative
maintenance and troubleshooting.
3. Vertical spin-on fuel and engine oil
filters are conveniently located in the
right rear compartment for simplified
ground-level servicing.
4. Fresh-air cab filter is quickly serviced
from outside the cab where it’s more
likely to get done.
5. Easy-to-reach dipstick and nearby
coolant reservoir make daily checks
and/or additions quick and easy.
6. Perforations in the side shields act as
a “first filter.” Anything that passes
through will also clear the 10-finper-inch cooler cores.

Contact your John Deere dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include
optional equipment such as thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and
volume loading applications such as mass-excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.
