Compact Excavators
Working within close lot lines and tight deadlines, you need to get the most from your “mini” machine. Driven to deliver a compact excavator that provides big productivity and outsized versatility, we enhanced our capable 26 P-Tier to boast impressive lift capacity and bucket, arm, and breakout forces.

And we reimagined the proven standard and optional advantages you’ve come to expect from the John Deere P-Tier lineup.
DIG THIS BIG "SMALL" IDEA
Armed to handle a wide range of underground, building, landscape, and site-development tasks, the 26 P-Tier is also ideal for most rental fleets. Try it on for size.
- 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.
- 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.
- Get back to it Standard backfill blade enables the 26 P-Tier to grade and fill, boosting machine versatility and stability when using attachments or working on uneven terrain.
- Make yourself at home Spacious operator station has a wide entryway and backhoe- to excavator-style controls. Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned for efficient operation and comfortable foot room. Optional fourseason cab features front glass that delivers expansive visibility.
- 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.
- Quick-change artist Standard selector valve allows the connection of two attachments at the same time by changing the valve position to divert supply/return oil from one to the other. Wedge-style coupler enables quick changes and accepts a wide variety of buckets and attachments, such as hydraulic hammers, plate compactors, and augers.
- It hardly seems like work Track speeds automatically slow to low whenever a heavier load is encountered, then return to high when the load normalizes. No pedal or operator activation is required for high-speed travel.
- 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.
- Resource management Power/economy modes optimize power for digging applications, further improving fuel efficiency.
- Maintenance matters Hinged door provides wide-open access to the side-byside 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.
- 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
