John Deere 17, 26 P Tier Excavators

P Tier excavators have been redesigned.
Oct. 9, 2025

Redesigned 17 P Tier and 26 P Tier John Deere excavators dig to 7 feet 2 inches and 8 feet 7 inches, respectively. Operating weights with canopy are 3,920 pounds and 5,508 pounds.

Single or dual auxiliary options enable the use of various attachments. A thumb-ready bracket comes standard, and both models can be equipped from the factory with a new mechanical fixed pin coupler. Wedge style adapters are available for use with previous Deere compact excavators.

Standard and easily accessible battery disconnects prolong battery life, and a 500-hour maintenance tracker—accessible in the monitor—alerts the operator when the machine is within 10-hours of a required service.
