With a 14.5 horsepower engine, this machine is particularly beneficial in scenarios where the workspace could accommodate a larger excavator but is limited by access points, such as narrow gates.
The 17 P-Tier model features a variable-width undercarriage design and foldable blades that can be retracted to navigate narrow pathways and close quarters.
The spacious operator station has a wide entryway and backhoe-to-excavator style controls, making for more comfortable operation. Also, pilot-control levers enable operator control of functions including boom, bucket, arm, and swing making for simplified movements.
The optional four-season cab, available on the 17 P-Tier model, features front glass that delivers expansive visibility, making for a safer and more efficient jobsite. In addition, the compact size, manageable weight, and adaptability in trailering and towing of the 17 P-Tier makes it appealing to rental centers and their customers. Heavy-duty side shields, which deflect material and impacts, protect the propel motors and boom/blade cylinders.
The wedge-style coupler enables quick changes and accepts a wide variety of buckets and attachments, such as hydraulic hammers, plate compactors, and augers, helping maximize versatility on the job. Lastly, the hinged door provides wide-open access to the side-by-side oil cooler and radiator, and the cooler system is designed to resist trash buildup and allow quick and easy core cleanout.
