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

NEW mini excavator for yard work, drainage ditches and small construction jobs. The machine is only 940 mm wide, so it fits through narrow accessways and into tight spaces where larger machines cannot reach. The swing boom helps you dig alongside walls and fences. Three buckets, a pre-installed quick hitch, a mechanical thumb and a dozer blade are included, so you can start work immediately without further purchases. The machine has only been test-run in the warehouse and moved from the port to our storage facility; 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 sea container. During long transport, machines may 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 in the warehouse and works. The damage is cosmetic only and does not affect operation. The paintwork can be repaired by touching up and repainting.

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