The possibilities are nearly endless.
Compact, yet highly capable, the 17G Compact Excavator do-it-all stands tall on a wide range of jobsites. In fact, it may well be the difference maker you need to put more opportunities within reach, and more profit in your pocket. Its retractable undercarriage and foldable blade narrow to just 0.98 m (3 ft. 3 in.), letting you take hydraulic muscle to places that might otherwise require manual labor. Noticeably quiet EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV diesel engine meets rigid emission standards, so you can put it to work almost any place, any time.

KEY FEATURES
- Meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV engine standards without an aftertreatment system, delivering a seamless operator experience with no machine-performance interruptions.
- New low-effort pilot-control levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip operation.
- Variable-width undercarriage, reduced-tail-swing design, and independent swing boom allow the 17G to navigate narrow openings and work in tight quarters with ease.
- New service door enables easy access to the side-by-side cooler cores, coolant overflow reservoir, and battery.
- Equipped with standard backfill blade, pattern changer, auxiliary hydraulics, and mechanical quick-coupler, the 17G is extremely versatile, allowing you to get the job done more efficiently and improving your bottom line.
ENGINE
- High-torque fuel-efficient diesels meet EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV emission standards without after treatment devices — reducing maintenance and expense.
- Heavy-duty side-by-side coolers enhance efficiency in high-ambient or -altitude working conditions.
- New display shows engine hours and fuel level.
CAB COMFORT
- The ergonomically designed operator station won’t cramp your legs, or your style. Seat and controls are optimally positioned to accommodate even larger operators.
- Nearly unobstructed visibility provides a commanding view of the surrounding jobsite.
EASE OF CONTROL
- Go from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just a twist of your wrist. Control pattern selector valve is conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat and includes a sight glass that displays the selected pattern.
- Low-effort pilot controls deliver exceptionally smooth, combined-function performance. So even unfamiliar operators become proficient more quickly.
EASE OF SERVICE
- Side-by-side coolers resist trash buildup and allow easier core cleanout. Access is quick and convenient.
- No tools are needed to access daily or periodic checkpoints. Hinged steel doors swing open wide, for quick and easy service.
- Hydraulic-fluid sight gauge and see-through engine-coolant reservoir allow quick checks at a glance.
- Spin-on filters make fluid changes quicker and cleaner. 2,000-hour hydraulic-oil and 250-hour engine-oil intervals increase uptime and decrease expense.
- A simple grease gun and a wrench are all it takes to quickly maintain proper track tension.
STRUCTURES AND UNDERCARRIAGE
- Variable-width undercarriage and foldable blade can be hydraulically retracted to navigate narrow pathways and tight quarters, then easily repositioned for solid stability.
- Rubber tracks’ unique steel cores resist cracking. Large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers further increase undercarriage durability.
- Steel hydraulic lines are clamped securely; Cordura® covering on rubber hoses provides extra durability.
- Box-constructed X-frame and track frames provide a rock-solid and stable platform that resists material and dirt buildup.
- Backfill blade adds versatility, enabling the it to ably grade and fill. Provides extra stability with attachments or when working on uneven terrain, too.
ATTACHMENTS
- Available hydraulic-activated thumb helps retain material in the bucket and is a valuable addition for hardscape tasks such as setting stones.
- Worksite Pro augers can be equipped with numerous sizes of rock, heavy-duty, standard, and tree/shrub bits.
- Bust through blacktop, concrete, or other hard surfaces with a Worksite Pro breaker. Optional window screens help guard the cab and operator from flying debris.
- Manual wedge-style quick-coupler speeds switchover, changing from buckets to other attachments in just minutes.
- Return-flow selector valve and boom-mounted auxiliary hydraulic lines accommodate both one- and two-way hydraulic-driven attachments
