2026 John Deere Landscaping & Grounds Care 870 P-Tier

When the task demands serious muscle to get things done, get a John Deere 870 P-Tier Excavator. The highly productive hydraulic flow matched with its EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV diesel speeds work cycles to move more material on a gallon of fuel than previous models. And a standard camera array with LED-surround lighting lets you see your work in a whole new way. These are just a few of the customer-inspired ways this mighty machine goes big and beyond for your operation.

Features May Include:

Final Tier 4 Isuzu® Engine

Our final tier 4 Isuzu engine reduces NOx by injecting diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream where then decomposes into ammonia. Operators will no longer have to rely on regenerations, or a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Efficient combustion allows Isuzu engines to burn particulate matter in cylinder during combustion.

• Cooled exhaust gas recirculation reduces Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Emissions and minimizes fuel consumption.
• Variable Geometry Turbocharger. 
• Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) which reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. 
• A DEF level gauge that changes colors to indicate DEF level added to monitor. 

Operator’s station

Now it’s easier than ever for your operators to “dial things up.” No longer will they have to adjust to the cramped and frustrating area of their cab. Operators are sure to appreciate the quiet and spacious cab, unsurpassed all-around visibility, and numerous other amenities that provide what they need to do their best work.

• Sculpted and heated air-suspension high-back seat with 317.5-mm (12.5-in.) of travel slides with or independent of the joystick console.
• Multi-language liquid-crystal display (LCD) monitor, and rotary dial provide intuitive access to a wealth of information and functions.
• Wide expanse of front, side, and overhead glass and mirrors, visibility to the sides and rear is virtually unobstructed.
• Automatic, high-velocity, bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers helps keep the glass clear and the cab comfortable.
