Features
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
