The Takeuchi TB285 is a conventional-tail mini-excavator in the 8-tonne class, with an operating weight of 8460 kg and an engine output of 66 hp. It is equipped with a 0.24 m3 bucket and is positioned at the upper end of the compact excavator segment, bridging the gap between mid-range and full-size short-swing machines. The TB285 represents Takeuchi's established presence in the European compact equipment sector.
Mini-excavators in this weight class are suited to urban construction, utility trenching, and landscaping work where site access and ground-pressure considerations are relevant. The TB285's size makes it appropriate for foundation preparation, pipe-laying operations, and demolition support in confined or mixed-terrain environments. Its bucket capacity is consistent with productive cycling in medium-duty earthmoving tasks.
Prospective buyers should request full service documentation and verify that hydraulic hoses, boom pins, and bucket linkage show no signs of excessive wear or leakage. Undercarriage condition, including track tension, pad wear, and roller integrity, is a primary cost driver in this class and warrants close inspection. Engine oil condition, coolant history, and filter replacement intervals should be confirmed, and the machine should be operated through full hydraulic cycles to check for drift or slow response in the arm and auxiliary circuits.
On the European used market, the TB285 carries an average asking price of EUR 25625, with a typical price range of EUR 25100 to EUR 26150, indicating a relatively tight spread and stable demand. Buyers comparing options in this class should also evaluate the Bobcat E85 and Hyundai R85, both of which compete directly in the same weight and power bracket. The narrow price band suggests consistent buyer and seller alignment on value for well-maintained examples.
