I really like almost everything about this machine. I checked out other mini excavators in this size range, and it’s clear that AHM put extra thought into fixing some reliability issues that other brands tend to have. Plus, the digging depth is 7 inches more than most others in this category.
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.
Alright, I'll give it to ya straight. This excavator is a beast for its size. Love how it handles, and man, does it save on gas! Only reason it's not getting 5 stars is 'cause the seat could use a bit more cushion for us bigger guys. But hey, maybe that's just my behind talkin'. Still, solid machine overall.
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.
I ordered this in hopes of being able to complete several tasks around our small farm and this thing has been perfect!. I couldn't be more pleased and would definitely suggest this to anyone who is tired of shoveling, borrowing or renting.
