Streetwise.
Work has never been easier than with the 230G W Wheeled Excavator. It's the perfect "Swiss Army knife" for a variety of work, whether it's clearing ditches, repairing sewers or potholes, loading trucks, or moving Jersey barriers. Rubber tires and faster transport speed mean you don't need to load it on a trailer to travel to a nearby job or across pavement. Rugged EPA Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/EU Stage IIIB diesel meets rigid emission regulations, enabling you to work, wherever there's work - even in nonattainment areas. Plenty of street smarts, too, with the Powerwise III™ engine/hydraulic-management system, three productivity modes, and Power Dig and Auto Power Lift functions. Add any of the many available options to tackle a wide variety of on- and off-road work.

Features
KEY FEATURES
- Highly efficient, heavy-duty cooling system keeps things cool, even in tough environments or high altitudes.
- Industry-exclusive double-seal swing bearing and three welded boom bulkheads deliver rock-solid durability.
- Power-boost feature helps pull you through when the digging or lifting gets difficult. Rigid, reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component protection.
- Short wheelbase enables maneuverability in tight spaces - unlike unwieldy truck-mounted excavators. For work close-up, opt for the two-piece boom.
- Spacious and comfortable cab comes equipped with easy-to-navigate enhanced LCD monitor that lets an operator easily dial-in a wealth of machine info and functionality.
ENGINE
- The EPA Interim Tier 4/EU Stage IIIB technology utilized in our diesel engine is simple, fuel efficient, fully integrated, and fully supported. Seamless solutions that require no operator input or loss of productivity include field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter.
- Highly efficient, heavy-duty cooling system keeps things cool, even in the toughest environments.
- Auto-idle automatically reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren’t in use. Auto-shutdown further preserves precious fuel.
PRODUCTIVITY
- Rubber tires allow you to drive quickly from job to job instead of loading up a trailer — plus they’re much friendlier to paved surfaces. Standard solid-rubber spacer between the heavy-duty dual tires puts pressure on the sidewalls to help keep the machine more stable. It also keeps mud and debris out, for longer tire life.
- Large chassis beams, swing bearings, and boom-foot areas deliver rock-solid durability.
- The G-Series’ short wheelbase makes them very adept in close quarters — unlike unwieldy truck-mounted excavators. For work close-up, opt for the two-piece boom.
- Heavy-duty covers on the oversize outriggers help prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
- Refined parallelogram blade better handles backfill and cleanup duties, while serving as a third stabilizer during digging.
HYDRAULICS
- Need a little extra lift when craning? Auto Power Lift automatically engages when the boom is raised. When the digging gets tough, press the Power Dig button for the extra hydraulic power you need to muscle through.
- Powerwise III perfectly balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for predictable operation. Three productivity modes allow you to choose the digging style that fits the job. High productivity delivers more power and faster hydraulic response to move more material. Power delivers smooth and balanced metering for normal operation. Economy reduces top speed and helps save fuel.
- Generous hydraulic flow and smooth, predictable metering ensure powerful digging force, precise low-effort control, and superb multifunction operation. Quick, responsive pump activation eliminates any delay in functions.
CAB AND MONITOR
- Multi-language LCD monitor and rotary dial provide intuitive access to a wealth of information and functions. Just turn and tap to select work mode, access operating info, cab temperature, and tune the radio. Plus much more.
- You can now see more, the standard rear view camera displays the action behind on the monitor.
- Automatic, high-velocity bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers helps keep the glass clear and the cab comfortable.
EASE OF CONTROL
- The F-N-R directional switch is now conveniently located on the left-hand pilot lever, making it is easier to control the blade and stabilizer functions.
- Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip control with less movement or effort.
- Pushbuttons in the right lever allow fingertip control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments. Select engine speed, auto-idle, power mode, power boost, lighting, and window wiper settings all on the right-hand console.
- Each outrigger is independently controlled, enabling optimum placement to help complete the job safely and surely.
EASE OF SERVICE
- Easy-to-read LCD monitor tracks scheduled maintenance intervals and issues reminders. Should a problem arise, it provides diagnostic information to help decrease downtime.
- Swing open the side panels on either side of the machine to provide even more wide-open access to components.
- Fuel coolers and A/C condensers swing out, simplifying clean out. Side-by-side coolers provide easy access.
- Vertical spin-on engine oil filters and fuel/water separators are conveniently grouped in the right rear compartment, for easy ground level servicing.
- Ground-level fresh-air cab filter is quickly serviced from outside the cab where it’s more likely to get done.
ARM AND BOOM
- Mono boom delivers the reach and lift capacity you need for long-distance work. Or opt for a two-piece boom for added versatility.
- A John Deere exclusive, three welded bulkheads within the boom resist torsional stress for unsurpassed durability. Booms, arms, and mainframes are so tough; they’re warranted for three years or 10,000 hours.
- Reinforced resin thrust plates, grooved bushings, and thermal-coated bucket joints increase arm and boom lube intervals to 500 hours
- Tungsten-carbide coating creates an extremely wear-resistant surface to protect the all-important bucket-to-arm joint. Oil-impregnated bushings enhance durability and extend grease intervals to 500 hours for the arm-and-boom joint and 100 hours for the bucket joint.
