John Deere mid-size diggers more than mere muscle

 

The series of John Deere mid-size excavators has been designed for heavy-duty earthmoving, excavation, and construction projects. But there’s much more to them than just their exceptional digging forces, swing torques, and lift capacities.


The E300LC, E380LC and E400LC excavators provide generous muscle for mass excavation. But even with their extra ability, these excavators don’t compromise the smooth control and multifunction capability that have become the trademarks of John Deere excavators.

Field-proven Deere PowerTech Plus engines deliver superb fuel efficiency and is fully integrated with the company’s Intelligent Hydraulic (JD-IHC) system to deliver fast, smooth response.

The redesigned cabs boast new ergonomic automotive-quality styling, new touch-screen monitors, and intuitive controls. As well, expanded bucket options and additional auxiliary hydraulic lines allow operators to power a wide array of attachments.

Powerful and productive, yet efficient and easy to run, these large excavators can help operations achieve their full potential.

Every moment matters

Uptime is everything when numerous people, machines, and budgets depend on your excavator.

That’s why the E300LC, E380LC and E400LC are built tough to deliver excellent uptime, with heavy-duty booms and arms, a robust electrical system, optimised hydraulic routing, and other customer-inspired features.

  • Solid footing: Sealed and lubricated undercarriages and heavy-duty welded X-frames provide a solid, stable platform, while sloped track frames resist material buildup to decrease cleaning time.
  • Full-length track guides and double-grouser (E380LC and E400LC) track shoes are optional for rocky terrain.
  • Efficient cooling: Heavy-duty cooling systems keep the engines and hydraulic systems running efficiently, even in tough environments.
  • For the long haul: Heavy-duty arms and booms are durably built, for long life even in severe applications.
  • Durability in every detail: Steel ribs protect the arms when curling a loaded bucket, and steel collars guard grease points in tough environments. Extra side bumpers on two sides of the upper frames on the E380LC and the E400LC protect the machine from damage on crowded jobsites.
  • Reliable electrical and hydraulic systems: Solid-state electronics and uncomplicated system architecture mean fewer wires, mechanical relays, and electrical connectors are needed. Hydraulic hoses are O-ring-face sealed and routed where they’re protected and easy to repair.

A force to be reckoned with

Big tasks demand serious equipment. Combining substantial power with smooth, low-effort control, John Deere E300LC, E330LC, and E400LC excavators provide the exceptional performance and fast work cycles needed to get the job done.

Four power modes and three work modes deliver the right power and response for the work at hand, for maximum productivity and strong digging force.

Auto pressure-boost provides extra hydraulic power when needed, while additional auxiliary hydraulic capability and expanded bucket options offer the best tool for the task.

Getting attached

For optimal bucket-fill performance and material retention, choose the right tool for the job. A wide selection of custom-profile buckets with different taper angles, capacities, and widths can be tailored to particular applications.

Need more hydraulic flow to power other attachments? Auxiliary hydraulic systems smoothly optimise flow control and multifunction capabilities.

On the E300LC,  E380LC and E400LC, an Auxiliary Merge option provides increased hydraulic flow for operating larger hammers.

Highly dependable John Deere PowerTech Plus engines with variable geometry turbochargers (VGT) deliver outstanding fuel efficiency, so you can move more material on less fuel.

Full integration with Deere’s Intelligent Hydraulic (JD-IHC) system combine impressive performance with smooth, low-effort control.

Enjoy the ride

Boasting new eye-catching automotive-quality styling, the quiet, spacious operator station is designed with convenience in mind.

A new seven-inch touch-screen monitor provides quick access to machine features and functions. Ergonomically placed controls, automatic temperature control (ATC) systems, and ample storage also help operators stay comfortable and productive all day.

Short-throw low-effort pilot levers are smooth and predictable, delivering precise, quick response when grading or leveling. Smooth multifunction operation helps improve productivity with minimal exertion while loading trucks.

The Industry exclusive Sealed Switch Module (SSM) keeps out dust, moisture, and debris. Eliminating traditional rocker switches means no unsealed connections and moving parts, for more resilience.

JDLink telematics provide realtime utilisation data and alerts to help maximise productivity and efficiency while minimising downtime. Remote diagnostics enable dealers to monitor machine health and react quickly to alerts, often before you even know there is a problem.
