Mini excavators (1-5 tonnes) suit residential trenching, landscaping, and tight access work. Mid-size (8-15 tonnes) handle commercial excavation, drainage, and demolition. Large excavators (20-50+ tonnes) are for bulk earthmoving, quarries, and mining. Match the tonnage to your dig depth, reach, and bucket requirements.

Key inspection points: engine hours (expect 6,000-10,000 for a mid-life machine), undercarriage wear (tracks, rollers, idlers, sprockets), hydraulic performance (check for leaks, cylinder seals, pump pressure), boom and stick pin wear, bucket teeth condition, and cabin electrics. Always request full service records.
