How it scores

The rating comes from 5 measured or published factors, each scored 0-100 against fixed reference points for its size. How we rank explains each one.

For budget buyers who want a 1 ton machine delivered with a thumb. The listing leaves out digging depth, so ask before ordering.

$4,599

For owners who want a known engine brand and a spec table they can check. It costs far more than look-alike 1 ton diggers.

$9,799

For small trenching and garden jobs on a tight budget. Check the warranty with the seller, since the listing gives none.
