The 120 hp 180G LC excavator from John Deere incorporates a rugged EPA Interim Tier 4/EU Stage IIIB John Deere PowerTech diesel engine and a Powerwise III engine hydraulic management system that balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation with three productivity modes. For improved operator comfort, it has a sculpted mechanical-suspension high-back seat. A wide expanse of front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, large overhead glass and numerous mirrors provide virtually unobstructed all-around visibility. During operation, the operator has easy control with the help of short-throw low-effort controls, ideal metering and smooth multifunction operation. It comes with JDLink Ultimate, so the operator has 24/7-anywhere computer access to equipment location, utilization, tonnage totals, monitor alerts, fuel-consumption diagnostics and hours. 800/503-3373; www.deere.com.
