NEW 1.2-tonne mini excavator for yard, excavation and small construction work. At just 850 mm wide, the machine fits through narrow gates and into tight spaces inaccessible to larger machines. The swing boom helps you dig alongside walls and fences without moving the machine, while the folding canopy makes movement easier in confined areas. The package includes three buckets, a semi-automatic quick coupler, mechanical thumb, dozer blade and toolbox, so you can start work immediately. The machine is already in Finland, so the buyer incurs no customs duties or other import costs.
