Auxiliary Service Ports
When operating one-way hydraulic attachments, like hydraulic breakers, the standard third-line auxiliary return system allows the hydraulic oil to flow directly back to the hydraulic tank without running through the control valves. This means less risk oil contamination, reduced back pressure, and greater overall oil flow efficiency is achieved.Independent Boom Swing
The boom swings independently of the rotation of the house. The primary purpose of boom swing is for offset digging around obstacles or along foundations, walls, and forms. A secondary use is cycling in areas too narrow for cab rotation. Independent boom swing is a major advantages of a compact excavator over other excavation equipment.

The 18D is fundamental to our company. We often use it for site clearance, infrastructure, etc. Low cost to ownership. Great service received over the years.

It’s compact yet powerful, perfect for tight spaces, and handles a wide range of tasks with ease. Our crew loves the smooth controls and reliable performance. Maintenance has been minimal, and it’s proven to be a solid investment for our projects.

The 18D is a important machine on our sites. We use it for foundations, sloping, light demolition work and tons more. It increases our operating workload efficiency significantly. We bought our 18D last year and honestly don’t know how we’ve been managing without it.

My 18D has just over 2500hrs now. We just finished digging a 6km trench line with it. I’m impressed with its digging performance. Cheers

Our 18D is now going for its 1250hr service. Had a minor issue on the bucket teeth, but MCM assisted fast. The breaker works nicely and has saved us tons of time on some sites. This machine is vital in my fleet. Employee of the year! Thanks guys
