2026-09-29

John Deere is expanding its compact excavator lineup with the introduction of the new 40 P-Tier compact excavator, designed for utility work, landscaping, rental fleets, and general construction applications.

The approximately 4-ton compact excavator is scheduled to make its debut at Equip Expo 2026, taking place from October 20 to 23. Its compact size makes it suitable for jobsites where maneuverability, transportability, and efficient operation are essential.

With demand for compact construction equipment continuing across a range of applications, the new model adds another option for contractors and equipment rental companies looking for versatile excavators for everyday operations.

Compact excavators remain an important segment of the construction equipment market, particularly in urban construction, utility installation, landscaping, and other projects with limited working space.
