Buying an excavator or backhoe for a small jobsite starts with one question: how much machine do you really need, and what is your budget? These four new mini excavators cover a wide spectrum of size, capability, and price. Your choice comes down to the digging depth your jobs require, the space you work in, and how much you are ready to spend. The sections below break down the price spread, key specs, and the best use for each model so you can match the right machine to the project.
Quick Take
One model in this group stands out as the most powerful and most expensive, while another is the smallest and least expensive. Two additional models fill the middle of the range, and all four are new, so you are comparing features and machine class rather than used-machine wear.

Product Notes
6 Ton Excavator 51 HP Yanmar Engine w/ 6 Attachments AC Cab Hydraulic USA SALE
At USD 44,899.00, this is the most expensive machine in the group, and it earns that position with the 51-60 HP Yanmar engine, over-26-foot max digging depth, and 13,001-14,000 lb operating weight. The six attachments and AC cab are part of the package, so you get a work-ready machine. The limitation is the price: it is the highest of the four, which may push it out of a small-budget project. If your jobs need deep, powerful digging and operator comfort, this is the machine that covers that ground.
1 Ton Mini Excavator Pilot Control B&S Gasoline w/ Attachments US for Sale
The 1-ton model is priced at USD 4,749.05, close to the entry-level unit but with a Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine and pilot controls. The max digging depth is 61.54 inches, and the machine working weight is 2,000 lb, making it a compact option for tight sites. Bucket capacity is 0.014 m³, and gradeability is 30 percent. The limitation is the 1-ton class: it cannot match the digging reach of the larger units. If you want pilot-control precision in a small machine, this is the one to compare.
0.8Ton Mini Excavator For Sale With Free Attachments 13.5hp Gasonline Engine
At USD 4,083.10, this is the least expensive mini excavator in the group. The 0.8-ton size and less-than-5-foot max digging depth suit small, light jobs, and free attachments are included with the machine. It is a 2025 model with zero hours, offering a low-cost entry to new equipment. The limitation is the small digging envelope: under 5 feet is the shallowest here, so it will not handle deep trenches. For a budget-conscious buyer, this is the lowest-priced starting point.
2026 NEW 1.4 Ton Digger 13.5hp Gas Tracked Crawler B&S EPA Engine Mini Excavator
The 1.4-ton tracked crawler is priced at USD 7,392.23, positioned between the compact units and the most powerful model. It is a 2026 model with a 13.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine, EPA certification, and a max dig depth between 5 and 6 feet. The 0.025cbm bucket capacity gives it a bit more digging bite than the 0.014 m³ on the 1-ton model. The limitation is that, like the smaller units, it is still compact, so it will not deliver the reach or power of the largest model. For a newer machine with a mid-range price, this is the balanced option.
Final Recommendation
Match the machine to your jobsite: choose the most powerful unit for heavy digging, the least expensive model when budget is the main concern, the mid-priced newer machine for a balanced mix, and the pilot-control model for compact work where precise control matters. The price comparison above makes the cost trade-off clear.
