Two more models of Yanmar Compact Equipment's compact excavator line have now been upgraded. The company says the ViO17-1E and ViO25-6B have been redesigned for improved operator comfort and ease of use.
Both mini excavator models are best suited for residential work, landscaping and small general construction projects. Yanmar says the ViO25-6B brings additional power and size for building maintenance projects, irrigation, plumbing pipeline and more.
鈥淥perators will appreciate the upgraded features in these new-generation models,鈥� said Jeff Pate, director of sales at Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. 鈥淔rom improved operator comfort and lighting to enhanced attachment coupling, the improvements make long days in the cab a little easier.鈥�
Both models feature a light footprint for minimized damage to soft, delicate surfaces in landscaping, residential and sculpting applications. The ViO17-1E offers a 4,023-pound operating weight and 14.5-horsepower engine, while the ViO25-6B features a 5,908-pound operating weight and 20.4-horsepower engine. Despite their small size, the models feature dig depths of 7 feet 7 inches for the ViO17-1E, and 10 feet for the ViO25-6B.
The two excavators are designed with zero tail swing to help protect the structure the excavator is working next to and the machine itself when in tight spaces.
The ViO17-1E has a retractable undercarriage that allows operators to hydraulically extend and retract the track width, allowing the machine to access narrow jobsites more easily.
Yanmar Compact Equipment will showcase the ViO17-1E at the Equip Exposition on October 18-21 in Louisville, Kentucky.
