Mini Excavator FAQ

Q: What attachments do I need for landscaping with a mini excavator?
A: For comprehensive landscaping, key attachments include a standard digging bucket for moving soil, a grading bucket or blade for leveling and shaping land, and a hydraulic thumb for grabbing rocks and roots. A trencher attachment is also excellent for installing irrigation or drainage lines.

Q: Can a mini excavator remove large tree stumps?
A: Yes, a capable Mini Excavator like the Shengkundada SKD-850 can effectively remove stumps. The process involves digging around the stump to expose and cut the main roots using the bucket or a root cutter attachment, then using the machine's leverage to pry and lift the stump out of the ground.

Q: Is a mini excavator easy to operate for a beginner?
A: Modern Mini Excavators are designed with user-friendly controls. While practice is needed for precision, the twin-lever joystick controls are intuitive. Shengkundada machines focus on smooth hydraulics and clear operational layouts, making the learning curve manageable. Always refer to the operator's manual and consider basic safety training.
