So, what exactly can you take on with a mini excavator and a little bit of determination?

Digging out holes.

Sounds pretty obvious, right? There are a few different working conditions that make these mini excavators even more appealing. Because of their compact size and simple maneuverability, these workhorses are perfect for smaller construction and landscaping projects. Take them where a normal excavator can’t fit.

With great bucket, arm, and breakout forces comes great capabilities. Dirt, gravel, you name it- these compact machines don’t let much get in the way. Whether you are planning to dig out holes for trees, sign posts, or utility lines, you’ll find that these mini excavators will get the job done. 

Demolishing smaller structures.

While they can’t take on the same heavy-duty work that a regular excavator can, the minis still have the ability to take on certain demolition projects. Older sheds and run-down barns are ideal demolition work for these minis. 

Concrete patios and porches are also no challenge for the mini excavator. With the right attachment and a free afternoon, you’ll be able to pave the way for something new. 

Plowing snow

During the winter months, mini excavators come in handy. You’ll be able to clear snow off roads, driveways, and parking lots with minimal effort. Certain blades are available to attach, allowing you to safely and effectively plow. 

Clearing out land

Clearing land consists of a variety of different jobs, so it's a good thing there are a variety of different attachments available. By using a brush clearing attachment, you’ll be able to take care of overgrown grass and thick brush with no issues.

You can also find attachments to remove stubborn tree stumps from the ground. This allows you to clean your land up and potentially prep for something bigger than just overgrown weeds.

Installing drainage systems

To help prevent water from pooling up in your yard, you can easily install a drainage system using your mini excavator. Dig out a trench and follow the proper steps. All you really need is some landscape fabric, gravel, PVC pipe, something to catch the water, and a little bit of elbow grease. Don’t forget to call your city beforehand to ensure you won’t hit an unmarked utility line!
