John Deere unveils redesigned 17 P-Tier and 26 P-Tier compact excavators
John Deere has introduced redesigned versions of its 17 P-Tier and 26 P-Tier compact excavators, developed from customer feedback and field testing to improve jobsite versatility, performance and operator experience.
Both models feature stronger dig forces, faster cycle times, and expanded attachment capability for contractors working in underground construction, utilities, and landscaping. The machines include single or dual auxiliary hydraulic lines, a standard thumb-ready bracket, and an optional fixed-pin mechanical coupler for faster attachment changes. A new long-arm option provides added reach and dig depth while maintaining lift capacity and breakout force.
The 26 P-Tier introduces an upgraded cab with heat, air conditioning, Bluetooth radio, and a sealed switch module for simplified operation. Both excavators include a standard battery disconnect and a 500-hour maintenance tracker that alerts operators as service intervals approach.
Factory-installed JDLink™ telematics connects the equipment to the John Deere Operations Center™, giving fleet managers access to machine health, location, and utilization data.
Designed for productivity in confined environments, the new P-Tier models are built for use on jobsites requiring compact, reliable machines that can handle multiple attachments and variable terrain. All compact excavators in the P-Tier lineup carry a two-year or 2,000-hour warranty, with optional extended coverage available through John Deere dealers.
