Choosing among compact excavators backhoes usually means juggling reach, weight, and the amount of cash you can put into a machine. These four new mini excavators cover a wide price window, from a 1,000 kg digger to a 2-ton machine with a Kubota diesel engine. The useful first step is to decide what you're digging and how deep you need to go.
Quick take
If up-front price is the deciding factor, the 1 Ton ATTACHXPRO DM100 is the lowest-priced unit in this group. If digging depth matters most, the 2 Ton TERROR XVIII lists an 8'1'' - 9' max dig depth, the deepest of the four. The 1 Ton RL unit pairs a gas B&S EPA engine with four accessories in the title. The 1.4 Ton tracked crawler from SY-auto- parts is the highest-priced option in this set.

Product notes
2 Ton TERROR XVIII with Kubota D902 Diesel Engine
This listing is the only 2-ton machine here, and the title points to the Kubota D902 diesel engine. The description mentions a fully enclosed AC/Heater cabin, pilot controls, a hydraulic thumb clip, and a BEIFANG main valve hydraulic system. With a max dig depth of 8'1'' - 9' and a working weight of 2 tons, it is positioned toward heavier digging rather than ultra-tight access. The trade-off is that you are paying for more machine than the 1-ton units, and the larger working weight may be more than you need for small landscaping chores.
1.4 Ton SY-auto- parts Tracked Crawler
The title calls it a 2026 NEW 1.4 Ton Digger with a 13.5hp gas engine, and the attributes list a 5' - 6' max dig depth and 10 - 20 net horsepower. The description mentions a 380mm-wide bucket, 380mm platform ground clearance, and tasks like digging, grabbing, drilling, bulldozing, ditch-cleaning, and rock-breaking. Because it is the highest-priced listing, the case for choosing it comes down to the 1.4-ton class, the tracked crawler layout, and the simpler engine design described for easier maintenance.
1 Ton ATTACHXPRO DM100 Rato EPA Digger
This listing is the least expensive in the group, with an EPA-certified full-rotation design, a Rato 8.2 kW engine, and a 930mm-wide body for tight access. The attributes list a digging radius of 2781mm, an excavation depth of 1625mm, an excavation height of 2407mm, and an unloading height of 1758mm. The description highlights an integrated hydraulic system and a reinforced digging structure. The limitation is that the listed engine power is lower than the two gas units, so the smaller power figure may become the bottleneck if you move into heavier trenching.
1 Ton RL Digger with +4 Accessories
This 1-ton RL mini excavator sits above the least expensive listing and below the most expensive one. The title specifies a B&S EPA gas engine, and the attributes list a 5' - 6' max dig depth. The title also includes '+4 accessories,' while the description centers on confined-space work such as interior decoration, municipal landscaping, agricultural greenhouses, and demolition tasks. The practical constraint is the 5' - 6' dig depth: it won't go as deep as the 2-ton TERROR XVIII, and it is more expensive than the 1-ton ATTACHXPRO DM100.
Final recommendation by use case
For a tight budget and relatively light digging, the 1 Ton ATTACHXPRO DM100 is the direct pick. For the deepest dig in this set, the 2 Ton TERROR XVIII is the deepest-digging unit here with a diesel engine. If you want a gas-powered 1-ton, the 1 Ton RL unit is the one to choose. And if you're set on a tracked crawler, the SY-auto- parts listing is the one to fit into your equipment budget.
