What is a mini excavator good for?
A mini excavator rotates 360 degrees and is built for digging deep holes and trenches where space is tight. It is the wrong tool for moving material across a site.
- Foundation and footing excavation
- French drains and yard drainage lines
- Septic excavation and drain-field trenching
- Deep holes in tight spaces
- Moving material and grading: a skid steer, $99 per hour
- Narrow irrigation or utility lines: a trencher, $22.50 per hour
- Fence and deck post holes: an auger, $17.50 per hour
Skid loaders are faster for moving materials and grading, while mini excavators dig deeper and handle tight spaces better. Choose based on whether your project needs speed and maneuverability (skid loader) or precision digging and reach (mini excavator).
