The Takeuchi TB290 is a midi-class mini-excavator with an operating weight of 8450 kg and an engine output of 69 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.25 m3, positioning it at the upper end of the compact excavator segment. The TB290 is designed to deliver a balance of digging performance and site mobility suited to a range of earthmoving and utility applications.
Machines in this weight and power class are commonly deployed on urban construction sites, drainage and utility installation projects, and landscaping or groundworks contracts where a compact footprint is required alongside meaningful digging force. The 8-tonne category is also frequently used in road maintenance, trench excavation, and foundation work for residential or light commercial structures. Its size allows operation in confined areas while still handling the bucket capacities needed for productive cycle times.
Inspection of a used TB290 should cover the undercarriage for track and roller wear, as these components represent a significant portion of refurbishment exposure in this machine class. The hydraulic system, including hoses, cylinders, and pump output, warrants close attention given the duty cycles typical of utility and groundworks applications. Service history documentation, oil sample analysis, and a live function test of all auxiliary circuits and auxiliary hydraulic lines are advisable before purchase. Structural checks on the boom, dipper, and slew ring are standard practice for any unit in this weight category.
The European market average for the TB290 is EUR 42313, with a typical transaction range running from EUR 40200 to EUR 45600. This positions the machine within a competitive segment that includes the Hyundai R85 and Kobelco SK75, both of which occupy broadly similar weight and performance categories. Buyers comparing units across these brands should evaluate condition, configuration, and attachment history alongside list price, as variance within the range reflects differences in specification and working life rather than brand premium alone.
