Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size mini excavator do I need?

Match your excavator size to your dig depth needs: 1-ton for 3-4ft trenches, 2-ton for 5-6ft trenches, 4-ton for 8-12ft trenches. Also consider transport: 1-ton fits in a pickup bed, while a 4-ton requires a heavy-duty trailer.

Q: What engines do AGT excavators use?

AGT excavators use Kubota or Rato diesel engines. Kubota engines (D1103, V2403-CR) offer more power and longer life for daily commercial use. Rato engines (186F) are more affordable and reliable for occasional use under 500 hours/year.

Q: What is the difference between H15R and DM12X?

The H15R ($11,999) uses a Rato 186F 13.5 HP engine with 5'9" dig depth. The DM12X ($14,999) uses a Kubota D1103 24.8 HP engine with 6'7" dig depth. Choose DM12X for more power and deeper digging.

Q: What attachments work with AGT equipment?

AGT mini excavators accept standard pin-on buckets (12-24"), hydraulic thumbs, augers, and hammers. Skid steers use universal quick-attach mounting compatible with 100+ attachments from most major brands.

Q: Do AGT machines have cabs or canopies?

Most AGT excavators offer both canopy (open) and cabin (enclosed) options. The CFG-40UF 4-ton excavator includes a climate-controlled cabin with A/C standard. Canopy models are more affordable and better for fair weather.
