Description
Huayee HY16C — Kubota Diesel Mini Excavator (1.5-Ton Class)
The Huayee HY16C packs contractor-grade capability into a compact footprint that fits tight residential spaces, trails, and job sites with limited access.
Powered by the Kubota D722, 3-cyl 14 HP diesel, the HY16C delivers the smooth, fuel-efficient torque this engine is known for, easy cold starts, low noise, and simple parts support.
Built for productivity, the HY16C arrives equipped with pilot controls, swing boom, hydraulic thumb, hydraulic quick coupler, and front auxiliary hydraulics.
That means you can dig, grab, trench, and swap attachments in seconds without leaving the operator’s station.
