ABOUT
John Deere Excavator (21T)
The John Deere Excavator (21T) redefines mid‑size excavator performance with the perfect blend of power, precision and efficiency. At its heart sits the proven PowerTech™ 4045 engine, delivering a net 117 kW at 2 000 rpm to tackle even the most demanding tasks with fuel‑smart efficiency. Coupled with the Intelligent Hydraulic (JD‑IHC) system and auto pressure‑boost, this machine provides consistent digging force and rapid cycle times, helping you load trucks, trench footings or grade surfaces faster and smoother than ever before.
Underfoot, a sealed and lubricated undercarriage with an X‑frame center section ensures stability and longevity in harsh environments. With an operating weight around 21,300 kg and a standard 1.0 m³ general‑purpose bucket, the John Deere Excavator (21T) strikes the ideal balance between digging power and transportability. Its heavy‑duty cooling system and robust sheet‑steel shields protect key components, while remote‑mounted filters and a swing‑out condenser simplify daily maintenance.
Reach new depths and heights with up to 6.73 m of digging depth and 10.04 m of reach at ground level. Whether working in tight urban sites or open quarries, the compact tail‑swing radius of just over 3 042 mm lets you maneuver with confidence around obstacles. Generous bucket and arm forces—150 kN and 111 kN respectively—ensure clean breaks in tough soils and consistent fill performance, so you can keep crews moving.
Versatility comes standard. Multiple auxiliary hydraulic circuits support a full range of attachments—from hydraulic hammers and grapples to mulchers and compactors—without compromise. Expanded bucket options, including heavy‑duty and severe‑duty choices, let you tailor capacity and wear protection to your job requirements. Quick‑coupler compatibility further reduces downtime, so swapping tools between tasks is fast and foolproof.
Step inside the quiet, spacious cab and you’ll find fatigue‑fighting comforts engineered for productivity. A seven‑inch touchscreen monitor puts diagnostics, work modes and camera feeds at your fingertips, while auto climate control and an air‑suspension seat with adjustable armrests keep operators focused through long shifts. Ergonomic short‑throw pilot levers and sealed‑switch modules deliver fingertip control without the noise or clutter of conventional switches.
Downtime is costly, so routine service on the John Deere Excavator (21T) is quick and straightforward. Ground‑level access and clustered greasing and filter points simplify daily checks, and extended intervals—500 hours for engine oil, 4 000 hours for hydraulic oil—mean fewer stops for maintenance. The electronically controlled, variable‑speed cooling fan only runs as needed, reducing noise and conserving fuel, while a fully enclosed cooling package resists debris buildup for reliable operation in dusty conditions.
Supporting your investment is the global JDLink™ telematics network and RAM’s national dealer infrastructure. JDLink provides real‑time machine health alerts and utilisation data, so you can make proactive decisions about service and scheduling. Backed by 24/7 parts distribution and factory‑trained technicians, the John Deere Excavator (21T) gives you the confidence to tackle any earthmoving challenge—because when it matters, you can rely on RAM.
