2026 Wacker Neuson EZ17 Mini Excavator With 18.5HP Yanmar

The 2026 WACKER NEUSON EZ17 mini excavator delivers reliable power with an 18.5HP Yanmar diesel engine optimized for efficiency in confined spaces. Equipped with a long stick configuration, this machine offers increased vertical and horizontal reach compared to standard models, reducing the need for frequent machine shifts during trenching or loading operations. Precision control is managed through intuitive joystick controls that streamline operation cycles. Stability varies with project needs via expandable tracks that widen the footprint for grade confidence or narrow to facilitate transport. A standard dozer blade assists with surface preparation and cleanup duties between excavation tasks. Operators can switch between two travel speeds to match transit requirements across smooth pavement or rough terrain. The package includes essential implements ready for immediate deployment: a digging bucket integrated with a hydraulic thumb for handling irregular loads. Auxiliary hydraulics ports open compatibility for additional breaker or auger setups found on most job sites. Its slim 39-inch width allows access through standard residential gates while weighing 3800 pounds to maintain traction.
