Versatile Mini Excavator for Property Projects

After 15 hours of use, this excavator has proven highly capable on a ten-acre property. It cleared roughly 500 square feet of brush with the rake and removed a 3-foot-high, 12-foot-long dirt berm, opening access for a vehicle and trailer. It is far more efficient than manual digging, and owning it is likely cheaper than renting for multiple projects. The hydraulic thumb and quick-change fitting are recommended for easier attachment changes and handling of rocks, logs, and brush. Changing hydraulic fluid and engine oil before first use is advised.

Pros
  • + hydraulic thumb makes handling rocks, logs, and brush easier
  • + quick-change fitting simplifies attachment changes
  • + cost-effective versus renting for multiple projects
  • + allows flexible, unhurried work sessions
Cons
  • − requires changing hydraulic fluid and engine oil before use

Good power, but thumb clamp cylinder missing

After several hours of use, this excavator performs well and has good power. It did not include the hydraulic cylinder or hoses for the thumb clamp, which was disappointing, but the seller agreed to send them and a tracking number was provided. The stationary thumb clamp makes picking up logs more difficult, requiring the blade and bucket to push them. It has been used to clean up large trees that were cut down.

Pros
  • + good power
  • + generally satisfactory after several hours of use
Cons
  • − missing hydraulic cylinder and hoses for thumb clamp
  • − stationary thumb clamp makes log pickup difficult

Good for Home Use, Not Commercial Work

The 1.5-ton unit arrives boxed with oil and fuel and can be driven off the pallet. It includes a small toolbox with a grease gun, though small grease tubes must be purchased separately to lubricate the boom joints. The controls are easy to learn and operate, even for someone who has never used a mini excavator. The Briggs and Stratton engine provides ample power. It suits around-the-house and lighter tasks, but is not intended for commercial or construction use.

Pros
  • + arrives ready to drive off the pallet
  • + includes toolbox and grease gun
  • + easy controls to learn and operate
  • + engine has ample power
Cons
  • − grease tubes must be purchased separately
