Why this machine?

The AM16's configuration was carefully selected by Affordable Machinery after trialling multiple setups personally and through customer feedback — we believe it's the best balance of quality, features and value in our line-up. Double hydraulic pump, water-cooled 3-cylinder Laidong KM385, deluxe seat, offset boom with internal hoses.

Why throw another $3,500 onto the price just to get a Japanese engine? The Laidong is a proven workhorse that's simple and inexpensive to repair — and with many parts stocked locally plus Australian aftersales support, the decision to buy locally has practically been made for you.

Frequently asked questions

What warranty comes with your machines?

Every machine includes a 12 month / 1,000 hour parts warranty, supplementary to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Can I pick up my machine, or do you deliver?

Both. Pickup is welcome from our Derwent Park (TAS) location, and we arrange machinery freight Australia-wide — freight is quoted per delivery address, so contact us for a quote.

Can I buy the machine without the attachment package?

Our mini excavators are currently sold as complete packages only — machine plus the full attachment kit. It's the configuration we've settled on after extensive trials and customer feedback, and it means your machine arrives ready to work.

Are spare parts available in Australia?

Yes — many common service and wear parts are stocked locally, with fast turnaround on anything that needs to come in from overseas, all backed by Australian-based aftersales support.
