DIG THIS BIG "SMALL" IDEA

Armed to handle a wide range of underground, building, landscape, and site-development tasks, the 17 P-Tier is also ideal for most rental fleets. Try it on for size.

  • Get back to it Standard backfill blade enables the 17 P-Tier to grade and fill, boosting machine versatility and stability when using attachments or working on uneven terrain.
  • Work, run, repeat Reduced-tail-swing design maximizes maneuverability and performance in cramped places and tight spaces. Compact stature permits easy transport between jobsites, perfect for “dig-and-go” projects.
  • Movable muscle Variable-width undercarriage and foldable blade can be hydraulically retracted to navigate narrow pathways and close quarters, then easily repositioned for sure-footed agility, to operate where
    handwork used to be required.
  • Comfortable and in command Spacious operator station has a wide entryway and backhoe- to excavatorstyle controls. Pilot-control levers enable operator control of functions including boom, bucket, arm, and swing. Optional four-season cab features front glass that delivers expansive visibility.
  • As tough as they come Heavy-duty side shields deflect material and impacts, protecting propel motors and boom/blade cylinders. Securely clamped steel hydraulic lines and CORDURA® covering on rubber hoses provide extra durability. Box-constructed X-frame and track frames are rock solid and rugged.
  • Put your connections to work Wedge-style coupler enables quick changes and accepts a wide variety of buckets and attachments, such as hydraulic hammers, plate compactors, and augers.
  • Handle the load Track speeds automatically slow to low whenever a heavier load is encountered, then return to high when the load normalizes.
  • See what you can do Conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat, control pattern selector valve includes a sight glass that displays the selected pattern.
  • Maintenance matters Hinged door provides wide-open access to the side-by-side oil cooler and radiator. Cooler system is designed to resist trash buildup and allow quick and easy core cleanout. Extended service intervals let the machine work longer before maintenance is needed.
  • Underneath it all Track-sag adjuster conveniently located in the center of each track frame makes it easy to maintain proper track tension and maximize undercarriage wear life using only a standard high-pressure grease gun.
  • Make the most of your investment Already own some John Deere attachments? Many models including buckets, hydraulic hammers, and augers also work on other compact machines so you can redefine fleet utilization — and your bottom line.
  • Connected machines John Deere construction equipment comes with in-base connectivity — free from subscriptions or annual renewals. Analyze critical machine data, track utilization, review diagnostic alerts, and more from the John Deere Operations Center™. The Operations Center also enables John Deere Connected Support™, which uses data from thousands of connected machines to proactively address issues before they arise. Your dealer can also remotely monitor machine health, diagnose problems, and even update machine software without a trip to the jobsite.
