Great little escalator the transaction went so smooth. The delivery driver was so nice to deal with pulled up in front of my house.

Bolted right up and the hoses worked perfectly without the need for any special adapters. Great Value for a China Mini.

Went right on, took only a few minutes to swap out. Nice fit, will work well for trenching water lines.

The staff at AHM provided excellent communication. I received the excavator in a timely manner. Only had to add gas to drive it out of the crate. Good for small trees and hedges with a ripper. Great for ditches and laying pipe. I’m glad I chose AHM.

Haven’t hooked up it’s awesome pictures don’t do justice I should of bought more I messed up thank you so much amazing shipped to Michigan free shipping

I used this machine for about 45 minutes and had a issue with a hydraulic hose that had a small pinhole in it. It wasn't a defect from assembly but just a bad hose. I called and emailed ahm and they were outstanding on helping me get my machine back in action. Great customer service. As for the machine the engine is very smooth and plenty of power. The hydraulics are smooth also. I have no complaints of the machine except the hose which was a bizarre situation.

It's a grapple for a walk behind skid for a fairly low price compared to others on the market. Seems to be relatively heavy duty minus the very important tines. Has a pretty strong 'grip' although this is also dependent upon the machine it's on.

This thumb is made well. Had it on my AGT-QH12 excavator I bought at an auction last month to pick up large rocks and logs. Works just as I needed.

Used to have an AGT HT-12, thought that was the bee's knees. But this? Whole different ballgame. Yeah, it's a bit pricier, but you get what you pay for. AGT's after-sales service sucks, but AHM's quick response helped resolve the issue. Plus, I really love how this machine has many detailed upgrades.

The engine runs smoothly and is quieter than I expected. I used it to dig trenches for new irrigation lines, and it worked flawlessly. The various attachments are really handy too!

Specializing in AHM's remote-controlled lawn mowers was the smartest move I've made. The mower is powerful and cuts evenly. I highly recommend it.

I've used this excavator for a bunch of small jobs around my place, like clearing brush and digging holes for new fence posts. The engine is reliable, and the attachments provided work very well.

Though I haven't yet put it through all its paces, I am already convinced that getting the mini-excavator equipped with the Kubota diesel engine was worth the extra investment. I've operated many machines powered by single cyllinder air-cooled engines and the noise and vibration are fatiguing. I have none of that with this machine The diesel runs smooth and is relatively quiet. I can operate it without hearing protection and there's no post-session soreness from vibration.
When stored without the canopy attached, the entire machine fits neatly in a 4'x 8' space I've set aside for it in my garage.

The power is more than sufficient for most jobs, and the fuel efficiency helps our bottom line. The thoughtful design, like the accessible maintenance ports, shows AHM really understands operators' need.

Very happy with the excavator. So glad I upgraded to the Kubota engine. It's very quiet and smooth. Plenty of digging power! I would recommend this purchase to anyone considering it. 5 stars!
