18.4 HP Yanmar Diesel Engine
Efficient 3-Cylinder Diesel Power
The YNT18K is powered by a Yanmar 3-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine producing approximately 18.4 HP at 3,000 RPM.
- Fuel-efficient diesel operation
- Water-cooled engine design
- Smooth power delivery
- Lower operating noise than many small gas machines
- Designed for compact equipment applications
Compact but Substantial
At approximately 3,020 lb, the YNT18K offers more operating weight and stability than many entry-level one-ton excavators while remaining narrow enough for many residential access points.
43-Inch Width for Gates and Narrow Access
With an overall width of approximately 43.3 inches, the YNT18K can work in backyards, narrow property lanes, and areas where larger excavators are difficult to maneuver.
The side-swing boom adds flexibility when digging close to fences, structures, and property lines.
Hydraulics and Controls
Pilot joystick controls and dual auxiliary hydraulic lines give the YNT18K smoother operation and compatibility with a range of optional attachments.
Pilot Controls
Smoother and more intuitive joystick operation.
Dual Auxiliary
Two-way hydraulic output for compatible attachments.
28.5 L/min
Hydraulic Flow
