IHI 35G

The IHI 35G mini excavator is a 29-hp model that falls under the medium-sized excavator due to its operating weight. It’s hard to track down specifications on this particular machine, which is likely due to its age. The IHI 35Gs are still widely used, and you can find parts for them from various vendors online.

Mini-excavators like this the IHI 35G can be used for tasks that larger hydraulic excavators are just not appropriate for, such as landscaping where the ability to move around is constrained, or ground pressure needs to be low to prevent damage. They’re also great for urban environments, where small size and minimal noise are always a plus. Machines like this can handle a number of projects with the right type of attachment: drilling holes, breaking up concrete or asphalt, small-scale demolition, material handling, and storm cleanup.
