Excavator in truck loading application
Looking for a versatile, strong and efficient excavator, that can be both involved in civil works and at the same time support the gravel or sand quarry operations? Meet our E260LC – one of most universal Deere excavators. It is built to be strong and productive around John Deere Intelligent Hydraulic Control (JD-IHC) system, that ensures efficient synergy of Deere 6068 engine and progressive hydraulic pumps to deliver fast response and advanced precision of controls. The integration through common software infrastructure delivers superb hydraulic tuning, for faster digging cycle even trough hard or packed material.
E260LC
is a 20-tonn class machine, that for some applications can be equally efficient to 30-tonn one.
- Field-proven Deere 6068 engine delivers confident power levels at 143 kWt Net. One of the highest arm digging forces in the size class – 134 kN – combined with solid bucket force - 176 kN – allows the machine to be a high performer in any earthmoving, general construction or even quarry applications.
- Ability to offer the 1.5 m3 heavy duty (HD) bucket for materials with density at 1800 kg\m3 allows to utilize the E260LC even on sand or rock quarries for efficient truck loading.
- An extra bottom roller (ten in total vs. nine on competitor machines) better distributes the weight and improves the stability and ride across uneven terrains.
- The pressure boost feature is now automatic, creating a seamless experience for the operator. It activates for 8 seconds, when extra impulse is required to overcome the heavy soil layer or move heavy load.
- Improved controllability and machine cycle times achieved by utilization of new pumps with bigger displacement and newly designed main control valve for advanced precision and controllability.
- Wide selection of buckets and ability to choose between general duty (GD) and heavy duty (HD) booms and arms, allows you to tailor the machine to specific application.
- Four Power Modes (Low, Economy, Standard, and High) easily adapt machine behavior to changing job demands, so you can find the right balance of productivity and fuel economy. Three work modes — Lift, Dig, and Hammer/Bidirectional Auxiliary — allows an operator to choose the proper hydraulic response for specific applications and attachments.
- Variety of hydraulic auxiliary line options expands the versatility and capabilities of the machines. Two-way hydraulic lines, low flow and merge flow options combined with specifically designed payloads make the Deere machine a perfect carrier for various types of attachments.
