Unbelievable value for a real commercial diesel machine

Took delivery of the AGT H12R 1-Ton Mini Excavator with Hydraulic Thumb last month for clearing 14 acres of cedar and grading water drainage swales. Machine arrived in a fully enclosed steel transit frame with 0.0 operating hours. The diesel engine has tremendous torque and the hydraulic thumb makes picking up boulders and 12-inch logs effortless. Paid for itself on the first clearing project alone.

Liftgate delivery arrived directly to our ranch gate

Carrier called the day before to confirm our gravel access road. Driver was professional, lowered the pallet right to ground level with the hydraulic liftgate, and helped roll it into the shop. Pre-inspection was immaculate—all hydraulic fittings were tight, fluid levels were topped up, and EPA certification paperwork was in the manual pouch.

Smooth pilot joystick controls and powerful breakout force

I operated full-size Cat equipment for 20 years before retiring. For a compact machine, the hydraulics are dialed in smoothly without the jerky twitchiness you see on cheaper machines. Dug a 150-ft trench for 4-inch septic pipe through rocky clay in under 4 hours. Cabin AC blows ice cold.

Included attachments and hydraulic thumb work great

The quick-hitch design makes swapping from the digging bucket to the grading bucket take less than two minutes. The hydraulic thumb is robust steel with solid pin engagement. Zero leaks after 45 hours of hard digging.
