Homeowners shopping a first excavator often arrive at used yards, then leave when nothing in the 1–2 ton class is clean, warranted, and in stock.
A new Proskid mini excavator fills that gap without forcing you to compete with premium brands on the same contractor accounts. Territory protection keeps the street price stable.
Start with R10, R13, and R15. Those three models cover most property jobs and share engines, attachments, and service training.
