John Deere

Ideal for in heavily populated centers, the updated John Deere 190G W excavator provides customers with a “Swiss army knife” for clearing ditches, repairing sewers or potholes, loading trucks or moving Jersey barriers. The excavator features Final Tier 4 emission technology and a 173-horsepower (129-kW) diesel engine. A lightweight, split-type hood provides access to the engine from the front, and same-side filters and water separator at ground level simplify maintenance. The wheeled model boasts an operating weight between 43,431 and 45,300 pounds (19,700-20,500 kg). The 190G W has a short wheelbase to slip into close quarters with ease. For close-up work, customers can opt for a two-piece boom. The excavator can travel at a top speed of 21.7 mph (35 km/h), and rubber tires won’t tear up concrete or asphalt. www.johndeere.com
