1700 kg would be car sized, way too light. Even a tank is more like 10-20 times that. Putting your dV in the 1-2 m/sec range, not going to do much of anything to an orbit.

Hint: 34,000 / 1700 = 20, a nice round number, and a good upper bound for the delta-V imparted. You shouldn't assume I am stupid.
