Common questions

What is a mini excavator?

Usually under about 6 tonnes. Easy to transport on a trailer and popular with landscapers, groundworkers and farmers.

Do I need a licence to tow one?

Depends on the trailer weight and your driving licence. Many mini diggers go on a plant trailer behind a 4×4 — check the combined weight.

Should I buy or hire?

Buy if you use one most weeks. Hire for one-off jobs. Browse stock on Plant And Tractor Trader and compare.
