When you work next to objects, a compact excavator offers flexibility you don't get when using a traditional center-mount backhoe on a tractor.
With the independent boom swing of a compact excavator, you can dig offset. Access each side of buried utility line or dig square holes without repositioning the machine.
Helps you rotate the house with more confidence in tighter areas.
Compact excavators can continuously rotate 360 degrees for unlimited spoil placement. A backhoe, in contrast, has a maximum of 180 degrees of workgroup movement.
Compact excavators use less fuel and can be hauled with lighter, more fuel-efficient trucks, keeping your hourly costs down.
When you work next to objects, an excavator provides much more flexibility. On many job sites, a tractor loader backhoe is limited to only 45 degrees of workgroup movement. In similar situations, a compact excavator may have up to 180 degrees of movement—allowing you to place spoil where needed, or even load a truck behind the machine.
The hydraulic systems on compact excavators often outperform larger machines.
In a compact excavator, you sit offset relative to the boom for an unobstructed view of the attachment. On a tractor loader backhoe, you constantly have to lean around the boom to see the attachment.
