From tee to green,  
walk with the best.  
For the undulating greens on your  
course, the 18-inch walker, the 180C.  
Like the 220C and 260C, the 180C  
features a dual-traction rear drum  
powered by an external differential drive.  
This delivers even power distribution to  
both sides for the straightest possible  
tracking. It also makes for easy turning  
and excellent maneuverability. A 2.0 mm  
ultra-low-cut bedknife for cuts down  
to 5/64-inch is standard equipment on  
the 180C, and a 2.5 mm tournament  
bedknife is available as an option.

part in stock, in most cases you can order it by 5 p.m., and have it the  
next day. Or even order parts online at www.JDParts.JohnDeere.com.  
Tires  
Transport wheels feature quick-release wheel latches and cast-iron  
hubs ensure quick removal and installation with precision fit.

A solid all-around  
performer, the 220C.  
After getting feedback from customers, the  
220C features a redesigned rear drum for  
less maintenance, reduced sound levels,  
an ergonomically improved handlebar, an  
easier height-of-cut adjustment, and better  
serviceability. A smaller pitched chain and  
new chain adjuster help dampen sound.  
A decreased distance between safety bail  
and handlebar makes for easier handling.  
And a forward-mounted pivot point aids in  
machine tracking.
