Mini Excavators

Compact 1-4 ton excavators with Kubota and Rato diesel engines. Perfect for landscaping, utility work, and small construction projects.

What is a mini excavator best for?

A mini excavator is best for digging trenches, foundations, and holes in tight spaces where larger equipment cannot access. They are ideal for landscaping, utility work, property maintenance, and small construction projects.

  • Dig depth: 5-12 feet depending on model
  • Width: 36-70 inches (fits through standard gates)
  • Weight: 2,400-8,800 lbs (towable with standard trailer)
  • Engine options: Kubota or Rato diesel
  • All models include hydraulic thumb

Mini excavators are compact, versatile machines designed for digging, trenching, and material handling in spaces where larger equipment can't reach. At AGT Equipment, we offer a range of mini excavators from 1 to 4 tons, powered by reliable Kubota and Rato diesel engines.

These machines excel at landscaping, utility trenching, foundation work, and property maintenance. With dig depths from 5 to 12 feet and widths as narrow as 36 inches, our mini excavators can access backyards, crawl through gates, and work indoors.

All AGT mini excavators include a 1-year warranty, free shipping within the continental US, and come with hydraulic thumb attachments standard on most models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size mini excavator do I need?

For backyard and residential work, a 1-2 ton excavator is usually sufficient. For construction, agricultural work, or deeper digging, consider a 3-4 ton model. The main factors are dig depth needed, access width, and the type of material you'll be excavating.

Do mini excavators come with a warranty?

Yes, all AGT mini excavators come with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use.

How are mini excavators delivered?

We offer free shipping within the continental US. Equipment ships from our warehouses in California or Illinois and typically arrives within 3-7 business days. You'll need a trailer or forklift for unloading.

What's the difference between Kubota and Rato engines?

Kubota is a Japanese brand known for reliability and resale value. Rato is a Chinese engine that offers excellent value for occasional use. Both are diesel engines suitable for heavy-duty work.

Do I need a hydraulic thumb?

A hydraulic thumb is essential for moving logs, rocks, and debris. Most AGT excavators include a thumb as standard equipment, adding significant versatility to your machine.

Can I tow a mini excavator with my truck?

1-2 ton excavators (2,400-3,000 lbs) can be towed with a half-ton truck and a 7,000 lb trailer. 3-4 ton models require a 3/4 ton truck and 10,000+ lb trailer capacity.
