About · Takeuchi TB230

Overview

The Takeuchi TB230 is a compact mini-excavator with an operating weight of 2885 kg and an engine output of 24 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.077 m3, placing it firmly in the lower end of the mini-excavator segment. The machine is designed to combine a small footprint with sufficient digging capability for a range of light to medium groundwork tasks.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in this weight and power class are commonly deployed on residential construction sites, landscaping projects, and utility installation work where restricted access or ground sensitivity limits the use of larger equipment. Their compact dimensions make them well suited to working within confined spaces such as gardens, courtyards, and urban plots. They are also used for drainage, pipe-laying, and minor earthmoving tasks where a larger machine would be impractical.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should inspect the undercarriage closely, including rubber tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as wear in these components is a significant cost driver on mini-excavators. The condition of the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be assessed for play or scoring. Hydraulic hoses and cylinders should be checked for leaks or abrasion damage, and the slew ring should be tested for smooth, rattle-free rotation. Service history documentation, particularly evidence of regular filter and fluid changes, is a strong indicator of overall machine condition and should be requested before purchase.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market, the TB230 carries an average price of EUR 21040, with typical transactions falling in the range of EUR 19500 to EUR 20900. Buyers evaluating this model will generally consider comparable units from JCB, specifically the 8026, and Kubota, specifically the KX030, as these models occupy a similar segment and represent the primary competitive reference points when assessing value.
