Mini Excavators from $3,209 to $6,174: Pick a Compact Digger for Tight Jobs

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

What to decide before you buy a mini excavator

The first choice is size. A 0.8-ton machine fits through tighter gaps, while a 1-ton unit gives you more digging force and depth. The next choice is attachments: do you need one bucket or a package that can rake, rip, bore, and hammer? The four listings below are all marked New, and their listed prices span from USD 3,209.00 to USD 6,174.05.

Quick take

If the lowest listed price is your starting point, the 1 Ton Mini Excavator 1000kg Rato Engine EPA Certified Full Rotation Farm Digger at USD 3,209.00 gives you a 1-ton, full-rotation machine with a Rato engine and a compact 930 mm width. For the widest attachment set, the Mini Excavator TYPHON TERROR ONE STORM is priced at USD 6,174.05 and includes 13 attachments plus a 13.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. The 0.8Ton Mini Excavator at USD 4,083.10 is the only sub-1-ton option here, while the Pilot Control B&S listing at USD 4,749.05 adds pilot controls to a 1-ton gasoline package.

Product notes

1 Ton Mini Excavator Pilot Control B&S Gasoline w/ Attachments US for Sale

1 Ton Mini Excavator Pilot Control B&S Gasoline w/ Attachments US for Sale

This listing is the one to compare if you want pilot controls on a 1-ton machine. It carries a Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine, a working weight of 2,000 lb, and a listed maximum digging depth of 61.54 inches. The air-cooled engine and 0.014 m³ bucket capacity round out the main specs, and the title positions it as a US-market unit. At USD 4,749.05, it is priced above the Rato 1-ton unit, so the added comfort of pilot control and the B&S engine are the reasons to choose it. If your priority is simply getting a 1-ton digger at the lowest listed price, the Rato unit gives you that same weight class for less.

1 Ton Mini Excavator 1000kg Rato Engine EPA Certified Full Rotation Farm Digger

1 Ton Mini Excavator 1000kg Rato Engine EPA Certified Full Rotation Farm Digger

This is the listing to start with when price matters. At USD 3,209.00, it is the lowest-priced machine in the group and still lands in the 1-ton class with full rotation. The Rato engine produces 8.2 kW, the overall width is 930 mm, and the listed reach numbers include a 2,781 mm digging radius and a 1,625 mm maximum excavation depth. It also carries an EPA-certified designation, which matters for buyers who need that confirmation up front. The trade-off is depth: the 1,625 mm figure is below the 5'-6' max dig depth listed on the TYPHON. For routine farm and utility work within that range, this listing covers the job at the lowest listed price.

Mini Excavator TYPHON TERROR ONE STORM 1 Ton 13.5 hp B&S engine 13 Attachments

Mini Excavator TYPHON TERROR ONE STORM 1 Ton 13.5 hp B&S engine 13 Attachments

The TYPHON is the most fully equipped listing here, priced at USD 6,174.05. Its Briggs & Stratton 13.5 hp engine and 13 attachments make it attractive when you expect to do more than plain digging. The title describes a normal trenching bucket, 200 mm narrow bucket, 500 mm plain bucket, rake, ripper, auger, grapple, screen bucket, tilting bucket, hydraulic hammer, and pallet fork. Model year is 2026, and the max dig depth is listed at 5'-6'. It is also the most expensive listing, with a price difference of USD 2,965.05 above the Rato 1-ton unit. Choose it when the attachment variety maps to actual jobs; skip it if you will only use one bucket.

0.8Ton Mini Excavator For Sale With Free Attachments 13.5hp Gasonline Engine

0.8Ton Mini Excavator For Sale With Free Attachments 13.5hp Gasonline Engine

If your site has narrow access or you simply do not need 1-ton capacity, this 0.8-ton listing is the compact choice at USD 4,083.10. The title includes free attachments and a 13.5 hp gasoline engine, while the attributes list the model as ms08, model year 2025, and max dig depth of less than 5 feet. It offers a smaller footprint than the 1-ton machines. The shorter dig depth is the key limitation; for trenches or footings that need more reach, the 1-ton Rato unit lists 1,625 mm of excavation depth and the TYPHON lists 5'-6'. Use this one when size and included attachments matter more than maximum dig depth.

Final recommendation by use case

  • Need the lowest listed price in a 1-ton machine? Choose the Rato-powered full rotation farm digger at USD 3,209.00.
  • Need the most attachments in one package? Choose the TYPHON TERROR ONE STORM at USD 6,174.05.
  • Need a sub-1-ton machine that includes attachments? Choose the 0.8-ton gasoline unit at USD 4,083.10.
  • Prefer pilot controls on a B&S gasoline 1-ton? Choose the Pilot Control B&S listing at USD 4,749.05.

Before you buy, compare the listed dig depth and attachment list against the jobs you actually run. That will tell you which listed price is the right one for your site.
