Rated output within it ranges from 40.3 to 118.6 kW; the 180CW sits in the upper part of that range with 90.2 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the 75C below it with 40.3 kW and the 210CW above it with 110.4 kW. Unladen weight within it ranges from 18,800 to 22,629 kg; here the 180CW sits at the bottom of that range with 18,800 kg. 2622 John Deere models across 140 series are on record.

John Deere wheeled excavators 75C to 220DW – fitted with Isuzu engines: C and D as generations, W for the wheeled drive, Isuzu four- to six-cylinders, 40 to 119 kW, operating weights above 22 t

John Deere's wheeled excavators represent the group's European and Asian construction-equipment arm, whose wheeled machines, unlike the North American crawler excavators, are not fitted with Deere's own engines but with Isuzu diesels: the smaller models with the four-cylinder CC-4JG1, the mid-range with the 4HK1X and 4BG1XABFA, the largest model with the six-cylinder 6BG1T. The type logic orders size roughly in ascending order through the number – from the small 75C to the large 220DW – the letters C and D mark successive series generations, and W stands for the wheeled version as against the crawler one. The wheeled excavator drives on the road between sites instead of needing to be transported, and works with outrigger pads in inner-city civil engineering.

The register lists 5 versions with engines of 3,064 to 6,489 cm³, 4 to 6 cylinders, outputs of 40.3 to 118.6 kW and operating weights of 18,800 to 22,629 kg at 2,000 to 2,200 rpm.

Wheeled excavators fill the niche between compact excavators and heavy crawler excavators in sewer, utility and road construction, where road travel saves time and the outriggers provide the same stability as tracks.

On used machines, operating hours, the condition of the oscillating axle and tyres, leak-free hydraulic cylinders and swivel joint, play in boom and stick bearings, and parts supply count, which for the Isuzu engines runs through independent workshops and for excavator parts through Deere.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
