Better quality mini excavator in this price range

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.

Great Machine

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.

Almost Perfect

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.
