Choosing Your Mini Digger Amongst the Best Brands
Mini diggers are becoming one of the most widely used pieces of equipment around. These small, versatile bits of machinery can be used for anything from digging large holes for landscaping, to ripping through concrete for construction projects. What makes them especially desirable is that their smaller size makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces, especially urban areas where you would not want to disrupt traffic, and space can be very limited. However, when choosing your mini digger, it may be difficult to decide. This short guide will describe some of the best brands available, and hopefully make your selection a little bit easier.
Volvo has been a trusted brand of cars, trucks and construction equipment since 1927, so it is no surprise that they are one of the top makers of mini digger equipment. They have twelve different models available, all ranging in weight from 18,700, to 3,262 pounds; and 59 to 16 horsepower. Their smallest model has a digging depth of 8 feet and a maximum reach of 12 feet, 11 inches; while their largest model has a digging depth of 15 feet, and a reach of 23 feet and 9 inches. Volvo mini diggers are also considered to be safe for the environment, and the company provides technical support.
Yanmar has an extensive range of mini diggers available. Their "VIO" series carries seven models ranging from 3,704 to 17,530 pounds, and touts a capability of turning within the radius of the machine, while still maintaining perfect stability. The "B" series is also said to be capable of a fantastic turning range, and it is also excellent for tightly built urban areas. The "SV" model is widely considered to be one of the best Yanmar mini diggers available, as its adjustable tracks make it ideal for compact areas; it has a smooth turning radius, and has foldable ROPS for the protection of the operator.
Bobcat mini diggers are very highly thought of; the amount of models available is smaller, but provides a more focused and thorough piece of equipment. Their performance includes features such as auto-idle and shift control; reduced noise levels, and integrated slew brakes; and removable side panels and swing-open tailgate for easy maintenance access. You can also include additional items to meet your needs such as steel tracks, keyless start, GlobalTRACS and three different arm configurations.
Komatsu and Kubota are two of the leading producers of mini diggers in Japan. The Komatsu is a smaller machine than the Kubota mini digger; however, despite its size, it promises to be very powerful, and easy to maneuver in small areas. On the other hand, the Kubota mini digger offers protected hoses, a travel speed selector, and variable width tracks.
Finding the right mini digger can be very difficult, but whether you are looking for the reliability of a well known brand, or a well rounded machine; something high tech, or something that is totally customizable to your needs, any of these high quality brands is a great option.
