Compact Excavators

The Deere 17G was developed with insight gathered from numerous owners and operators. That means it was designed and built with the operator in mind. Every element — from the larger cab to its wider entryway — was developed to make using it as comfortable and natural as possible.
Among the many features included in the 17G are a variable-width undercarriage and a design that provides reduced tail swing to help it fit into smaller areas. It also includes fuel-saving auto-idle and auto-shutdown modes, as well as two power modes to meet your requirements.
Even though it’s nimble and agile, the 17G excavator offers the durability and strength that made the John Deere company famous. Its box-constructed X-frame and track frames create a rock-solid foundation and resist dirt buildup. Side shields made of heavy-duty materials protect vital components from damage and contamination.
- This unit’s reduced-tail-swing design means it is exceptionally maneuverable and capable — even when you’re working in close quarters.
- Its compact size and relatively light weight make it easy to move between jobsites when you have “dig-and-go” work to do.
- Your operators will be able to focus on their jobs thanks to the comfortable layout and virtually unrestricted sightlines of the operator station.
- The variable-width undercarriage and foldable blade make this machine easier to navigate through narrow pathways. Once you’ve made it through, you can quickly reposition the blade to provide better stability.
