MechMaxx MEC10 Mini Excavator with B&S Vanguard Engine

Clean the carb as soon as you get them and they work great. Wish they came with motor guards but for the price these are great little machines. If you do have issues customer support actually gets back and assists you also. Very pleased.

Great machine. I was pleasantly surprised. The main grief is getting it to the house. I rented a car trailer and had them load it at the depot. Its a very large box. Once home broke open the case enough to get her started and drove it off the trailer. Its worked perfectly so far. Time will tell but the quality seems good for the money. Would strongly recomend. The little Kubota motor is quiet and I suspect a lot more so than the air cooled gas options.

We've used it for streetlight base digging and underground cable runs with good results.

I work utility jobs in older neighborhoods, and the MEC12 is perfect for narrow alleys and tight access points.

Digging for fiber and electrical conduit has been smooth and precise with the pilot-operated controls.

Fuel efficiency has been better than expected for a machine this capable.

This MEC12 excavator fully meets my expectations; it is rugged, durable, efficient, and fuel-efficient. One minor note: for heavy daily utility work, I recommend checking hydraulic connections regularly—standard practice anyway.

Cleanup is faster thanks to the hydraulic thumb when backfilling and clearing debris. I narrowed them down to get through my narrow side alley and then widened them for stability once I started digging. Perfect for tight backyard projects!

One small thing: I wish the standard bucket came in one more width option, but that’s minor.

I appreciate the lower noise levels. My neighbors didn't even complain while I was doing my backyard. Overall, this is a solid 4.8-star machine for light-to-medium utility work.

This mini excavator is perfect for private land maintenance. The Kubota D722 engine is incredibly reliable with impressive power! Its frame excels in tight spaces, and the digging depth-to-weight ratio is spot on. It handles heavy tasks easily and is a breeze to transport. Exceptional value for the money!

I mainly do residential work, and this machine feels perfectly sized for it—not too big, not underpowered.

I use the MEC12 on my ranch mainly for irrigation ditch maintenance and general cleanup work. It works very efficiently, exceeding my expectations!

I’ve been using this little beast for a month now. That Kubota D722 is a gem—it sips fuel and just keeps purring. For a 2700 lb machine, it’s surprisingly stable even when digging at full depth. Best investment I’ve made for my landscaping business.

The high-back seat makes longer jobs much more comfortable. Love the Kubota power plant in this. It’s reliable, fuel-efficient, and easy to maintain. Five stars all day.

I’ve also used it for small retaining wall foundations around the property.

Removing sod and leveling ground for small driveways is much easier now. Saves a ton of labor.

The Kubota D722 engine runs quietly, which is important when working in residential neighborhoods.

Digging for small ponds and backyard water features has been smooth. The pilot controls give good precision around finished landscaping.

I run a small landscaping business and use the MEC12 almost daily for backyard renovations. Digging tree holes and shaping flower beds is easy and very controlled.

I run a small construction business, and this has become one of my go-to machines for light excavation. It's easy to transport, low maintenance, and customers love how little space it takes up on-site. This thing is a workhorse and pays for itself quickly.

Hydraulic system is surprisingly responsive for a compact machine.

Hydraulics are responsive, and the build quality is solid.

I bought this as my first piece of heavy equipment and I'm glad I did. The learning curve was minimal, and the machine feels safe and stable.

Starts instantly every time. A reliable workhorse for any homeowner or contractor.

As a landscaper, tight spaces are common. This machine fits through narrow gates and around obstacles easily, yet still gives me the digging power I need. My crew loves it.

Saved me thousands and worked flawlessly the entire project.

I run it almost daily for light construction jobs. It's easy to trailer, quick to set up, and has excellent digging depth for its class. Very durable machine-definitely built to last.

I used this machine to redo my entire backyard-new garden beds, drainage, and a walkway. The precision of the controls made the work so much easier than using hand tools. Couldn't be happier with the results.

This little excavator packs a punch! I've used it to dig out stubborn bushes and trench for irrigation.
