Do you really know what kind of small excavator is suitable for your orchard? Small excavators are very popular in orchards. Digging trenches for fertilization, digging pits for planting trees, turning soil and weeding can save customers a lot of labor costs, but not all small excavators are suitable for you.
When choosing a small orchard excavator, you can choose from several aspects:
1. Walking width
This width refers to the gap between the fruit trees on both sides. It is a width that does not delay normal driving, so you need to inquire carefully before buying.
2. Digging depth
The orchard needs deep digging and fertilization every year. This is really important for fruit trees. This can basically be satisfied, and generally can reach a depth of 1.5 meters.
3. Continuous working time
This depends on your own situation. How many acres of orchard you have, how long you need to work every day, whether there are steep slopes, etc., and the work intensity is equal to choosing a few cylinders of diesel engines. Working for a long time and overloading will cause the machine to stop running, so you need to communicate well.
4. Ditch width
It is mainly reflected in the width of the bucket. There is no need to worry too much about this. The size of the bucket can be customized by the manufacturer.
5. Load bearing of the big arm
It depends on how much weight the excavator can lift. If you usually need to lift heavy objects, you need to choose a model with sufficient horsepower.
Consider the above five points when using in the orchard
I probably have a clear idea to define my own excavator. Generally, 0.8-1.5 tons of machines can be selected.
The price is generally between 26,000 and 80,000. According to the size of the orchard and investment decision, most friends choose a 1-ton excavator, and the price is around 30,000.
