B&S 13.5 HP — Internal Hoses — Rear Service Access — 73″ Dig Depth — 123″ Reach

A refined 1-ton compact excavator with two specific upgrades over the AX-12B: internal hydraulic hoses for reduced damage risk, and a rear-opening maintenance compartment for fast access to critical components. With 2,586 lbf of digging force, 73″ of maximum dig depth, and 123″ of ground reach — slightly more reach and depth than the AX-12B — on the same proven B&S 13.5 HP platform.

Digging Force

2,586

lbf (11.5 kN)

Powerful excavation force from a 13.5 HP B&S engine with superior heat dissipation.

Internal Hoses

Safer

Reduced Damage Risk

Internal hydraulic hose routing protects lines from job site debris and impact.

Max Dig Depth

73″

1,855 mm / 6.1 ft

More depth than the AX-12B (68.9″) — better reach for foundations and utility work.

Max Reach

123″

3,130 mm / 10.3 ft

More ground reach than the AX-12B (120″) for fewer machine repositioning stops.

Key Features

Internal Hydraulic Hoses — Safer by Design

Hydraulic hoses routed internally — protected from job site debris, tool impacts, and abrasion that can damage externally routed lines over time. Reduces the risk of hose damage on active construction and landscaping sites where lines are vulnerable to contact with materials, rocks, and equipment.

Rear-Opening Maintenance Compartment

Rear-access compartment opens for fast, tool-efficient access to critical hydraulic and engine components. Routine checks and maintenance are quicker and easier — minimising downtime and keeping the machine at peak performance without having to work around the boom or tracks.

2,586 lbf Digging Force

Maximum bucket digging force of 2,586 lbf (11.5 kN) from a 13.5 HP B&S engine with 21 lb-ft torque and superior heat dissipation. Handles foundations, compact soil, and hard-ground trenching with precise and powerful performance throughout the working day.

73″ Dig Depth & 123″ Reach

1,855mm (73″) of maximum digging depth and 3,130mm (123.2″) of ground reach — both slightly more than the AX-12B. More depth handles deeper utility trenches and foundation cuts; more reach reduces repositioning frequency on larger excavation areas.

Enhanced Hydraulics — Attachment Ready

Enhanced hydraulic system supporting high-flow attachments including augers, rippers, and mulcher heads (not included). Ready for concrete cutting, tree mulching, and powered attachment work without additional hydraulic modifications.

Cut & Wear Resistant Rubber Tracks

Heavy-duty rubber tracks with 16.2 in. (410mm) ground clearance for operation on turf, paved surfaces, rocky terrain, and indoor flooring without surface damage. 48.5 in. (1,230mm) track length for a stable, balanced footprint under load.
