130 P-Tier

The John Deere 130 P‑Tier Excavator delivers agile mid‑size performance, enhanced durability, and built‑in jobsite visibility, making it a versatile solution for utility work, site prep, and general construction applications where precision and uptime matter most

Key Features:
  • Net Power: 73 kW (98 hp)
  • Maximum Digging Depth: 6.03 m (19 ft. 9 in.)
  • Operating Weight: 13,407 kg (29,531 lb.)
  • Quickly Change Attachments with Integrated Coupler Ready Option
Compact Power With Proven P‑Tier Durability

The 130 P‑Tier builds on proven G‑Series architecture with improved front‑joint durability, including strengthened bushings, better sealing, and centralized greasing at the arm tip. These updates help extend component life, reduce wear in abrasive conditions, and maximize uptime for crews working in utilities and light‑to‑medium excavation.

Fast Attachment Changes and Versatile Jobsite Capability
Wide view of a dusty quarry or construction site with piles of gravel and rocks, where a large yellow excavator and a rock-crushing machine operate along a dirt path, kicking up dust under a clear blue sky

A hydraulic coupler‑ready option with factory‑installed plumbing allows operators to switch attachments quickly from the cab, keeping work moving as jobsite demands change. This flexibility makes the excavators well suited for trenching, backfilling, material handling, and cleanup without adding extra machines to the fleet.

Work Confidently via Standard Cameras and Lighting

The integrated right rear and left camera system, along with powerful LED surround lighting, enhances the operator's 270-degree visibility around the machine, even in low light conditions, all displayed on the main monitor. Additionally, LED front work lights and rear camera remain standard equipment.
