KEY FEATURES
  • Meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV engine standards without an after treatment system, delivering a seamless operator experience with no machine-performance interruptions.
  • New cab offers a wider entryway, easing entrance to and exit from the more spacious operator station. Single-panel door and larger front windshield provide even better visibility.
  • Ergonomic short-throw pilot-control levers allow smooth, predictable, low-effort fingertip operation.
  • New service door enables easy access to the side-by-side cooler cores, coolant overflow reservoir, and battery.
  • Equipped with standard backfill blade, pattern changer, auxiliary hydraulics, and mechanical quick-coupler, the 26G is extremely versatile, allowing you to get the job done more efficiently and improving your bottom line.

ENGINE
  • High-torque fuel-efficient diesels meet EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV emission standards without after treatment devices — reducing maintenance and expense.
  • Heavy-duty side-by-side coolers enhance efficiency in high-ambient or -altitude working conditions.
  • New display shows engine hours and fuel level.

CAB COMFORT
  • The ergonomically designed operator station won’t cramp your legs, or your style. Seat and controls are optimally positioned to accommodate even larger operators.
  • Nearly unobstructed visibility provides a commanding view of the surrounding jobsite.

EASE OF CONTROL
  • Go from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just a twist of your wrist. Control pattern selector valve is conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat and includes a sight glass that displays the selected pattern.
  • Low-effort pilot controls deliver exceptionally smooth, combined-function performance. So even unfamiliar operators become proficient more quickly.
  • Swing boom and foldable travel pedals on the 26G are positioned to provide efficient operation while maximizing foot room.

EASE OF SERVICE
  • Side-by-side coolers resist trash buildup and allow easier core cleanout. Access is quick and convenient.
  • No tools are needed to access daily or periodic checkpoints. Hinged steel doors swing open wide, for quick and easy service.
  • Hydraulic-fluid sight gauge and see-through engine-coolant reservoir allow quick checks at a glance.
  • Spin-on filters make fluid changes quicker and cleaner. 2,000-hour hydraulic-oil and 250-hour engine-oil intervals increase uptime and decrease expense.
  • A simple grease gun and a wrench are all it takes to quickly maintain proper track tension.

STRUCTURES AND UNDERCARRIAGE
  • Variable-width undercarriage and foldable blade can be hydraulically retracted to navigate narrow pathways and tight quarters, then easily repositioned for solid stability.
  • Rubber tracks’ unique steel cores resist cracking. Large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers further increase undercarriage durability.
  • Steel hydraulic lines are clamped securely; Cordura® covering on rubber hoses provides extra durability.
  • Box-constructed X-frame and track frames provide a rock-solid and stable platform that resists material and dirt buildup.
  • Backfill blade adds versatility, enabling the it to ably grade and fill. Provides extra stability with attachments or when working on uneven terrain, too.

ATTACHMENTS
  • Available hydraulic-activated thumb helps retain material in the bucket and is a valuable addition for hardscape tasks such as setting stones.
  • Worksite Pro augers can be equipped with numerous sizes of rock, heavy-duty, standard, and tree/shrub bits.
  • Bust through blacktop, concrete, or other hard surfaces with a Worksite Pro breaker. Optional window screens help guard the cab and operator from flying debris.
  • Manual wedge-style quick-coupler speeds switchover, changing from buckets to other attachments in just minutes.
  • Return-flow selector valve and boom-mounted auxiliary hydraulic lines accommodate both one- and two-way hydraulic-driven attachments
