🚜 1-2 Ton Class
⚙️ Kubota D902 / Briggs / Honda
📞 +1 213-214-2203

We specialize in 1-2 Ton mini excavators only. This class is perfect for residential work, landscaping, small demolition, trenching, farm work, and utility jobs where big machines can't fit. Easy to transport on a standard trailer.

We offer three proven options: Kubota D902 (diesel, most popular for torque and longevity), Briggs & Stratton gasoline, and Honda gasoline. Kubota D902 is water-cooled, 3-cylinder, fuel-efficient and EPA compliant. Gas engines are lighter and easy to start.

Need help choosing? Tell us your job type and climate - we will recommend D902 diesel for daily heavy use, gas for occasional homeowner use.

Our 1-2 Ton models typically offer 5 to 8.5 feet digging depth and 9 to 12 feet max reach depending on boom and arm setup. Enough for footings, trenching for water lines, septic, and landscaping. If you tell us your required depth, we will match you to the right arm.
