CX17T 1.62 Ton Mini Excavator with Yanmar Engine

The ACE CX17T mini excavator is a 1.62-ton compact crawler excavator designed for landscaping, utility trenching, residential construction and general excavation in restricted working areas. Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV74 diesel engine rated at 11.2 kW, the machine combines compact dimensions with a maximum digging depth of 2,150 mm and a standard bucket capacity of 0.045 m³.

With an overall width of 1,110 mm, the CX17T can be considered for jobsites where larger excavators are difficult to accommodate. Its mechanical valve control system, crawler undercarriage and front dozer blade support routine digging and ground preparation. Contractors, machinery dealers and rental fleet buyers should compare its actual dimensions, working range and attachment compatibility before ordering.

CX17T Mini Excavator Technical Specifications

The specifications above refer to the currently listed CX17T configuration. Confirm the final technical drawing, engine documentation and available options before placing an order. The tail swing clearance should be evaluated using the actual machine envelope rather than assuming zero-tail-swing performance.

Key Features of the CX17T Compact Excavator

Yanmar Diesel Engine for Compact Excavation

The CX17T is equipped with a Yanmar 3TNV74 diesel engine rated at 11.2 kW. Engine selection is an important consideration for contractors and dealers evaluating maintenance requirements, replacement parts and local service arrangements. Buyers should confirm the exact engine variant and its emissions documentation for their destination market.

Compact Width for Restricted Jobsites

The machine’s published width of 1,110 mm makes it suitable for consideration in residential construction, gardens, narrow service corridors and small site-development projects. However, operators must allow clearance for the upper structure during rotation. The listed 740 mm tail swing radius should be considered when planning work beside walls, fences and other obstacles.

Digging Performance for Utility and Landscaping Work

A maximum digging depth of 2,150 mm and digging radius of 3,560 mm provide useful reference points for evaluating drainage work, shallow foundations and utility trenching. Actual trench performance depends on soil conditions, bucket selection, working angle and machine stability.

For projects involving cables or buried services, review our Mini Excavator Telecom Conduit Installation Guide before choosing the final machine and bucket configuration.

Mechanical Controls and Attachment Selection

The published configuration uses mechanical valve operation, with a 0.045 m³ standard bucket and a front dozer blade for supporting excavation and backfilling work.

Additional attachments must be selected according to the machine’s hydraulic capacity, mounting dimensions and operating limits. Read our Mini Excavator Attachment Compatibility Guide for the key measurements to confirm before purchasing buckets, augers or other tools.

Where Can the CX17T Mini Excavator Be Used?

Residential construction: The CX17T can support foundation preparation, drainage excavation and general earthmoving where site access and working space permit.

Landscaping and garden work: Its compact undercarriage and standard bucket are useful for planting areas, drainage trenches and landscape preparation.

Utility installation: The machine can perform trenching for suitable water, drainage and cable projects when excavation dimensions and underground utility safety requirements are established in advance.

Farm and property maintenance: Small-scale digging, ditch maintenance and ground preparation are potential applications, depending on soil and access conditions.

CX17T Buying Considerations for Contractors and Dealers

The CX17T has an operating weight of 1,620 kg, placing it between common 1.5-ton and 2-ton compact excavator classes. For buyers, this makes access width, digging depth and configuration more useful selection criteria than tonnage alone.

When comparing models, check transport weight and dimensions, service access, local parts support, engine compliance and the actual hydraulic specifications. Equipment dealers should also verify which attachments can be supplied with the machine and whether the same mounting system can be supported across their inventory.

CX17T Mini Excavator Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the CX17T mini excavator weigh?

The published operating weight is 1,620 kg. Transport weight may vary depending on the installed bucket, attachments, fuel level and machine configuration.

What engine does the CX17T use?

The listed engine is a Yanmar 3TNV74 diesel rated at 11.2 kW. Buyers should confirm the exact engine variant and applicable emissions documentation.

How deep can the CX17T mini excavator dig?

The maximum published digging depth is 2,150 mm. Practical excavation depth depends on the bucket, excavation geometry and operating conditions.

Is the CX17T a zero-tail-swing excavator?

The published specification lists a 740 mm tail swing radius. Buyers should review the actual machine dimensions and upper-structure clearance rather than treating it as a confirmed zero-tail-swing model.

Can the CX17T use hydraulic attachments?

Attachment compatibility must be verified through hydraulic flow, pressure, mounting dimensions, attachment weight and the machine’s approved operating limits. Ask ACE Machinery to confirm the suitable attachment configuration before ordering.

What information is needed for a CX17T quotation?

Provide your destination country, required quantity, preferred attachments, applicable compliance requirements and intended application. For dealer or fleet orders, also specify spare-parts and documentation requirements.
