E400-II John Deere Construction excavator specs & Dimensions (2022 - 2026)

Add to your bucket list

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 your particular application.

E360 Heavy-Duty Machine Lift Capacities

Boldface type indicates stability-limited capacity; lightface type indicates hydraulically limited capacities, in kg. Lifting capacity at the arm end without bucket; machine equipped with 6.45-m HD boom, 3.2-m HD arm, no bucket, 600-mm triple-grouser shoes, standard carriage, and 7540-kg counterweight; and situated on firm, uniform supporting surface. Total load includes weight of cables, hook, etc. Figures do not exceed 87 percent of hydraulic capacities or 75 percent of weight needed to tip machine. All capacities are based on ISO 10567.

Winning combination

Highly dependable John Deere PowerTech Plus engine with variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT) delivers outstanding fuel efficiency, so you can move more material on less fuel. Full integration with Deere’s Intelligent Hydraulic (JD-IHC) system combines impressive performance with smooth, low-effort control.

Keep free from debris

Highly efficient hydraulic-driven fan runs only as needed, reducing noise and fuel consumption. Standard hydraulically controlled reversing fan can be set to designated intervals or activated manually as needed to back-blow cooler cores for cleaning.

Cost saver

Auto-idle automatically reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren’t in use, saving precious fuel. Automatic turbo cool-down extends idle time before shutdown, conserving additional fuel while maximizing component life.

Durable diesels

Reliable John Deere PowerTech Plus diesel engines feature replaceable wet-sleeve cylinder liners that resist wear and dissipate heat more evenly, for longer life.

Every moment matters

Uptime is everything when numerous people, machines, and budgets depend on your excavator. That’s why the E300 LC, E330 LC, E360, E380 LC, and E400 LC are built tough to deliver excellent uptime, with heavy-duty booms and arms, a robust electrical system, optimized hydraulic routing, and other customer-inspired features.

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.

Serious productivity

Big tasks demand serious equipment. Combining substantial power with smooth, low-effort control, John Deere E300 LC, E330 LC, E360, E380 LC, and E400 LC Excavators provide the exceptional performance and fast work cycles you need 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.

Go with the flow

Need more hydraulic flow to power a hammer or other attachment? Auxiliary hydraulic system smoothly optimizes flow control and multifunction capabilities. On the E300 LC, E330 LC, E360, E380 LC, and E400 LC, an Auxiliary Merge option provides increased hydraulic flow for operating larger hammers.

Match the machine to the work

Four power modes (Low, Economy, Standard, and High) equalize productivity and fuel economy to the workload. Three work modes — Lift, Dig, and Hammer/Bidirectional Auxiliary — let an operator choose the proper hydraulic response for specific applications and attachments.

Smooth control

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.

Solid footing

Sealed and lubricated undercarriage and heavy-duty welded X-frame provide a solid, stable platform. Sloped track frame resists material buildup to decrease cleaning time. Full-length track guides and double-grouser track shoes are optional, for rocky terrain.

Durability in every detail

Steel ribs protect the arm when curling a loaded bucket, and steel collars guard grease points in tough environments. Extra side bumper on two sides of the upper frame on heavy-duty models protects the machine from damage on crowded jobsites.

Undercarriage

Includes lubricated rollers, idlers, track adjusters (with shock-absorbing spring), and greased and sealed track chain with triple-grouser shoes.

Stay on schedule

Generous flow, arm force, and swing torque help keep things moving. 90/180-degree function (not available on the E300 LC) speeds repetitive boom-and-swing motion for faster truck loading.

Hydraulics

Designed for high digging capacity, productivity, and operating precision, and excellent fuel economy; summation system, boom and swing priority, and boom and arm regeneration provide optimum performance.

Daylong comfort

Boasting new eye-catching automotive-quality styling, the quiet, spacious operator station is designed with convenience in mind. New seven-inch touch-screen monitor provides quick access to machine features and functions. Ergonomically placed controls, automatic temperature control (ATC) system, and ample storage also help operators stay comfortable and productive all day.

Work in style

New automotive-quality styling is as appealing as it is ergonomic, putting efficient productivity within easy reach. Foot pedals, travel levers, and joysticks have been optimally repositioned for simple, intuitive operation.

Ample storage

Large storage area allows the operator to comfortably recline the seat and still have a place for a cooler or other personal items.

Touch and go

Easy-to-read touch-screen monitor provides quick access to a wealth of machine data and functions. Simply tap the screen to activate keyless start, select work mode, change machine settings, access operating info, or check advanced onboard diagnostics. And go to work.

Seeing is believing

Two-piece front windshield provides clear visibility to the work at hand and can be opened to improve airflow.

Settle in

Mechanical-suspension seat with wide, padded armrests is fully adjustable to accommodate a variety of operators. Air-suspension seat is optional.

Clean and clear

Isolated side-by-side cooler cores maximize cooling efficiency and enable easy cleaning. Optional trash screen that blocks dust, leaves, and other debris from entering the system is also simple to maintain. Air-conditioner condenser swings out for wide-open access to coolers.

E300 LC Bucket Selection Guide

General-Purpose Buckets (GP): General-Purpose buckets are provided as standard equipment and engineered to meet or exceed customer expectations in light-duty applications. These buckets are designed to dig and excavate soft to medium materials such as earth loam, sand, and fine gravel. Heavy-Duty Buckets (HD): Heavy-Duty buckets are provided as optional equipment and engineered to meet or exceed customer expectations in moderate-duty or mixed applications. These buckets are designed to dig and excavate in dry or wet clay, compacted soils, and well-blasted rock applications.

Severe-Duty Buckets (SD)

Severe-Duty buckets are provided as optional equipment and engineered to meet or exceed customer expectations in severe applications. These buckets are designed to dig and excavate in shot rocks, prying and tearing, caliche, and highly compacted materials. They feature additional abrasion-resistance protection.
