NEW TKMACH TK12 1.2 t mini excavator, joystick control, swing boom, thumb, 3 buckets, Lapua

NEW mini excavator for garden work, ditches and small construction jobs. The machine is only 940 mm wide, so it fits through narrow access points and into tight spaces where larger machines cannot go. The swing boom helps you dig alongside walls and fences. It comes with three buckets, a pre-installed quick coupler, mechanical thumb and dozer blade, so you can start work immediately without additional purchases. The machine has only been test-run indoors and moved from the port to our warehouse; otherwise it is new. The machine is already in Finland, so the buyer will not incur customs duties or other import costs.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BIDDING

Cosmetic transport damage: the machine is new, but it arrived in a shipping container. During long transport, machines can unfortunately suffer cosmetic damage such as scratches, chipped paint and minor dents. Some machines have less damage, others more. The machine has been test-run indoors and works. The damage is cosmetic only and does not affect operation. The paintwork can be repaired by touching up and repainting.

The damage images in the listing are general examples showing the kinds of marks that can occur during transport. They may not be from this specific machine. Please take this into account before bidding, even though the machine is new.
