Buy or hire the CX25D if...
A compact mini excavator sized for tight gardens, drainage runs and small groundworks jobs rather than large site cuts. Its sub-3-tonne operating weight lets it travel on a plant trailer behind a car-derived van, which is why small tool and plant hire firms keep one alongside larger diggers.
