Key Features

Perkins Diesel — Industrial Engine Pedigree

25 HP Perkins diesel — the engine brand trusted by Caterpillar, JCB, Massey Ferguson, and major construction OEMs globally. Perkins engines are specified for their exceptional reliability, low emissions, long service life, and global parts network. The AY-25J is the only AHM model with a Perkins engine — a genuine step up in engine pedigree over B&S gasoline and Kubota diesel alternatives.

Load-Sensing Hydraulic System

Advanced load-sensing system automatically adjusts hydraulic power output to match the current task — delivering more power when the machine works hard and reducing output during lighter work. The result: faster task completion, better fuel efficiency, and lower operational costs compared to fixed-output hydraulic systems.

9 ft Maximum Digging Depth

2,752mm (9 ft / 108.3 in) of maximum digging depth — the deepest in the AHM range, significantly more than the 88.9 in of the AX-17 series. Handles deep utility corridors, drainage channels, and foundation cuts that smaller machines simply cannot reach. 4,387mm (173 in / 14’5″) of ground reach for working at distance.

2-Speed Travel — 2.8 mph / 1.6 mph

Two selectable travel speeds: 2.8 mph for fast movement between dig positions across large sites, and 1.6 mph for precise, controlled maneuvering on slopes, in confined spaces, and during detailed positioning. The AX-17 series has single-speed travel; the AY-25J adds genuine flexibility.

992 lb Load Capacity

450 kg (992 lb) rated load capacity — the highest in the AHM range, nearly double the AX-17J’s 551 lb. Safely handles heavy pipe sections, large rocks, timber, and construction materials that exceed the safe lifting capacity of lighter machines in the range.

Enclosed Cab + Fan & Swing Boom

Fully enclosed operator cab with integrated fan for comfortable all-weather operation during extended shifts. Asymmetric swing boom (45° left / 55° right) for tight-access work alongside walls and obstacles. Pilot-operated hydraulic controls, hydraulic oil cooler, and safety lock complete a fully professional operator environment.
