John Deere’s small excavators are designed to make working easy. The main purpose behind every piece of equipment John Deere creates is to boost your productivity, and it isn’t any different with these excavators. There was a need for machines that could excavate in tight spaces and in areas where you didn’t want to disturb all the ground around the machine, and that’s when these machines were born. Need to lay some plumbing but don’t want the added hassle of fixing the landscaping once the pipes are laid? Use a compact excavator they are designed to trend on top of the ground without rutting the soil underneath. With small excavators, you can go in, do the job, and get out without causing any extra ground disturbance.
There are a variety of attachments available for John Deere’s compact excavators. Thanks to the mechanical quick-coupler and the auxiliary hydraulics, you can easily switch between attachments.

Not often are the words comfortable and compact included in the same sentence but they are for this machine. These machines have spacious cabs that you can bask in while working the day away. They are so comfortable you might even be tempted to take a nap… okay, maybe not quite that comfortable but pretty close. They are equipped with comfortable seats and easy-to-use controls. You can easily switch between excavator and backhoe mode with the control pattern selector valve.
