What to Check Before Buying

  • Site access: measure gates, paths and restricted work areas at their narrowest point.
  • Transport: confirm the machine, trailer and attachments are suitable for your towing or transport setup.
  • Digging requirements: compare maximum digging depth and reach with the trenches, foundations or drainage work you expect to complete.
  • Attachments: tell us if you need buckets, an auger, ripper, grab, quick hitch or other hydraulic tools.
  • Support: consider parts access, maintenance guidance and who you can call when you need help after delivery.
