Have been using it for several weeks now for digging trenches, and added a thumb attachment. I like it and it does good job. The included grease gun and baggie of grease was mostly useless. I bought a real one and a flexible hose to reach difficult spots. Needed to use included grease needle to get rest of joints lubed, as they were squeaking, but once properly lubed, no more squeaks. About time now to lube the swivel.

Great little excavator thank you again
The excavator came on time it was in good shape when it got here. We had a little trouble getting it off the truck but we managed the only question I have now is how long will it be before I get my thumb?

Good deal.
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.

38" Hydraulic Root Grapple Attachment For Mini Skid Steer Loader
Brett Meyers
Nice machine
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.
AX-16 | 23 HP 1.3 Ton B&S Engine Mini Excavator
Robertson Beasley
GREAT value well made
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.

made well
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.
Hydraulic Thumb Clip Attachment for 0-2T Mini Excavator Digger with Hydraulic Hoses

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.

Perfect for My Small Farm
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!

Great
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.
