John Deere continues to upgrade its G-Series excavator lineup with the introduction of the 17G and 26G compact excavators. These machines offer a Final Tier 4-compliant engine without the need for an after-treatment device, a spacious cab and smooth, responsive hydraulic controls.
The 17G and 26G incorporate a 14.5 hp (10.8 kW) and 20.0 hp (14.9 kW) Final Tier 4/ EU Stage IV diesel engine. The noticeably quiet engines allow contractors to work at any place, at any time. The 26G utilizes the same operator’s station as its 35G brethren (open station or cab with heat only). The hinge portion of the door design was simplified to provide better visibility. Additionally, the door width was increased by over 3 inches to allow for easier entry and exit from the cab. The new cab has a larger front window that is 2 inches wider and 6 inches taller. The 17G cab remains unchanged from the D Series model.
