Except for the fact that John Deere doesn't make any excavators!! They buy them from Hitachi and other companies then re-market them. I used to haul them for Warren transport.I bought two 2014 John Deere 27d machines July 2015. I replaced two Bobcat 425 minis. The 27d is a great machine. I owned a 27zts years ago. We have a 26G on demo now. It is a dog. They dropped the hp from 26 in the 27d to 20 hp in this 26G. My customers are disappointed. They are only digging 3-4 ft deep. I can't imagine trying to dig the full 8ft 6 inches that they claim. Love Deere excavators but the 26g is not for me. Your mileage may vary.
