À propos · Yanmar B15Aperçu
The Yanmar B15 is a mini-excavator in the sub-1.5-tonne class, with an operating weight of 1500 kg and an engine output of 14 hp. Bucket capacity is rated at 0.04 m3, positioning the machine at the compact end of the mini-excavator segment. It is a purpose-built unit for confined-space earthmoving and utility work where larger equipment cannot operate.
Applications typiquesLieu d'utilisation de cette machine
Mini-excavators in this weight class are routinely deployed for residential foundation work, drainage trenching, landscaping, and utility installation in restricted-access sites. Their compact footprint makes them well suited to urban environments, walled gardens, and interior demolition projects where ground bearing capacity and access widths are limiting factors. Contractors and hire fleets operating in these conditions frequently select machines of this size as a core part of their light-plant inventory.
Inspection du marché de l'occasionCe qu'il faut vérifier avant d'acheter
When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, priority checks should include the condition of the undercarriage rubber tracks, which are subject to wear and represent a meaningful replacement cost. The slew ring and boom pivot pins should be assessed for play, and all hydraulic hoses and cylinder seals should be examined for leaks or deterioration. Engine start quality, hydraulic response times, and the condition of the blade and bucket cutting edges are standard indicators of overall machine care. A full service history and documentation of any prior repairs should be requested before purchase.
Marché actuelPosition tarifaire
The European market average for the Yanmar B15 is recorded at EUR 8800. Comparable competing models in this class include the Kubota KX015 and the Kubota KX016, both of which occupy broadly the same weight and application segment and serve as direct reference points when evaluating relative value. Buyers should assess condition, hours, and configuration carefully when comparing units at this price level, as variance in specification and service history can influence achievable value significantly.
