Who uses it
A very compact machine for groundworkers and landscapers working in domestic gardens, narrow access sites and occasionally indoors. The small footprint is the whole selling point over a 2 to 3 tonne machine, and it is what decides whether the job is possible at all.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the 8018 CTS is the Kubota KX019-4.
Looking for one?
Most companies carry several makes and advertise none of them. Find the firms covering your area and ask what is on the yard.
