There's something satisfying about a machine that sits right in the sweet spot — big enough to move real earth, nimble enough to work where full-sized equipment can't fit. This 3.5-ton mini excavator from MachPRO, powered by a Kubota V1505 diesel engine putting out 25 horsepower, is built for exactly that balance.
Its side swing cab is the standout feature here — letting the boom pivot alongside the machine instead of straight out front, so you can dig right up against walls, foundations, and fences without repositioning every few minutes. That kind of flexibility turns tight, awkward job sites into places you can actually get real work done.
With a maximum dig depth between 9'1" and 10', this excavator has the reach for serious trenching and foundation work, not just surface-level tasks. And since it's a brand-new 2026 model with zero hours, you're getting a machine at the very start of its working life — no wear, no surprises, just a clean slate ready to prove itself.
Kubota engines have built a reputation for reliability that contractors trust job after job, and pairing that heart with a compact, maneuverable frame makes this excavator a genuinely versatile choice — equally at home on landscaping projects, small construction sites, or municipal work that demands precision in tight quarters.
For anyone who needs power without giving up agility, this is a strong contender.
