Model CD21
Need power? The CD21 provides 3000 pounds of breakout force, and uses a 9 horse power Honda engine. Weighing 1200 pounds, the CD21 is capable of digging seven feet deep through tough rocky ground with ease. Note that the CD21 can be easily and quickly broken into two loads of 700/500 pounds to be transported by a small helicopter (a long ranger helicopter will haul it in one load). Enjoy all the benefits that the CD11 offers.....numerous accessories add great value and versatility to your investment. Use your access wheels to allow the CD21 to slip through yard gates. The thumb allows you to pick up rocks or logs weighing up to a ton, and place them where you wish. Your new CD21 also comes with an 8 inch wide trenching bucket. The “ripper” accessory allows you to dig through frozen or tough ground easier, and it also acts as a root cutter. Also available with both models are travel lights, fenders, safety chain, and retractable tounge wheel. When power, digging depth and versatilty are important, the CD21 is the right digging tool for your business. Your low investment amount will quickly pay for itself, and generate more profit for your business and family for many years to come.
Model CD21M
Introducing the new model CD21M (below). Now you can drive this new excavator like a skid steer (as well as tow it on the highway like all CanDig models. It can drive forward, reverse and spin in a tight circle. Note that the tow hitch can be easily unpinned so you have more room to work.
Reasons to Choose a CanDig Mini Excavator
1. Great Value. Honda, Hy-Spec, and Casapa are some of the quality components that combine to make Candig a quality
investment. Only the best of fabricating techniques are good enough for Candig, ranging from using experienced welders,
computer-guided cutting tools, to its polished finish. Parts are machined for accuracy, and joints are protected with (replaceable)
highly durable bushings and grease fittings. The philosophy of Candig is to offer the end-user a product that they can rely on,
because they know that your business depends on your tools.
2. Competitive Edge. Ask yourself.....Can your competition move their Mini Excavator into a basement? Can they tow it with a
quad or push it by hand? Can they work safely on uneven ground? Can they pass over sensitive areas like sprinkler systems, septic
fields and lawns without causing more damage than good?
3. Provide Security For Your Family. The bottom line is that you will be generating more income for your business/family from
the time you invest in your Candig Mini Excavator.
4. Diversity. The CD11 and CD21 are not just digging tools. You can choose the options that best meet your needs. Perhaps you
need a thumb for picking up large boulders and logs; access wheels so you can take it into those tight spots; and a second,
trenching bucket for installing water lines, electrical cables, etc. A “ripper” makes digging in tough ground easier. Lights, fenders
and a safety chain make them legal and safe to tow on the highway. An auger, wood splitter and hydraulic stabilizers are also
available for any model (mechanical stabilizers come standard).
5. Low Investment/High Return. Where else can you find a tool that is capable of generating more income for such a low
investment amount? In addition, you do not need to invest in a trailer or larger truck to haul your Candig mini digger. Servicing is
easy and economical.
6. Recognition. Plain and simple.....Candig is a smart investment. As an owner of a Candig Mini Excavator, you will be admired
and recognized as an industry leader. Share the prestige that CanDig has earned with its many awards of excellence.
