From Trenching to Demo: How the 50G Performs on Tight Job Sites
6/12/2025
California’s construction and agriculture industries are always changing, and the demand for compact, versatile equipment is now higher than ever. Whether you’re working in the heart of a vineyard, maintaining a rural property, or tackling urban construction, tight job sites are a daily challenge.
At Belkorp Ag, we understand these needs and proudly offer the John Deere 50G Compact Excavator, a machine built to handle everything from trenching to demolition, even in the most confined spaces.
Let’s take a closer look at the 50G Compact Excavator and how it can benefit your needs.
The John Deere 50G is a standout in the world of compact construction equipment. Its narrow frame and zero-tail swing design make it great for tight job sites, where space is often limited and extra maneuverability is necessary. Whether you’re digging trenches for irrigation on a farm or clearing debris on a construction site, the 50G’s compact size allows you to work efficiently without sacrificing power or performance.
One of the biggest advantages of the 50G is its ability to access areas that larger excavators simply can’t reach. This is important in California, where properties can often be crowded with crops, structures, or landscaping features. The 50G’s design allows operators to work close to buildings, fences, and other obstacles with confidence, reducing the risk of accidental damage and improving overall job safety.
Despite its compact size, the John Deere 50G packs a serious punch. Its powerful engine and hydraulic system deliver the torque and lifting capacity needed for a wide range of tasks. From trenching and excavating to backfilling and demo work, the 50G is built to handle it all! It has a max of 35.9 horsepower, plenty of power for large tasks. The 50G also has a lift capacity of around 5,000 pounds, and a max digging depth of 11 feet, 7 inches. The machine’s responsive controls and smooth operation make it easy for operators of all experience levels to get the job done right.
Versatility is another key feature of the 50G. At Belkorp Ag, we offer a variety of attachments compatible with the 50G, including buckets, hydraulic hammers, and augers. This means you can quickly switch from digging trenches to breaking up concrete or drilling post holes, all with the same machine. This flexibility is invaluable on job sites where time and space are few and far between.
