Powered by the Koop KD292 19HP single-cylinder diesel engine — rugged, fuel-efficient, and built for long days of hard work. 890kg operating weight, 375kg max lift capacity, heavy-duty rubber tracks for low ground pressure and serious traction, and supplied with a standard GP bucket ready to work. Backed by a 12-month motor warranty from Makin Traks through our purpose-built Sunshine Coast workshop. IN STOCK NOW — ready to work straight off the trailer.
Best Features:
✔ Koop KD292 19HP DIESEL engine — the same diesel platform used by Fukai, BBY Equipment and several other Aussie mini skid steer brands. Proven Chinese diesel commercial engine designed for heavy work cycles.
✔ DIESEL FUEL = LOWER RUNNING COSTS — diesel typically delivers 30-40% better fuel economy than petrol equivalents, and Australian diesel prices have historically been lower than premium unleaded. Save real money every tank.
✔ SAME FUEL AS YOUR OTHER MACHINES — if you already run a diesel tractor, ute, excavator or dozer, you can fuel everything from the same drum or jerry can. No more juggling separate petrol supplies.
✔ NO SPARK PLUGS, NO IGNITION SYSTEM — diesel engines have fewer parts that can fail. Simpler, more reliable, less to service over the long haul.
✔ MORE TORQUE AT LOW RPM — diesel engines deliver peak torque at lower revs, which is exactly what skid steer work demands. Better digging, better pushing, better pulling.
✔ 12-month motor warranty from Makin Traks — backed locally through our purpose-built Sunshine Coast workshop
✔ GP BUCKET INCLUDED — ready to dig, load and move material straight off the trailer
✔ Heavy-duty rubber tracks — aggressive tread for grip on wet grass, mud, sand, sloped ground and soft surfaces. Spreads weight evenly, dramatically reducing turf and lawn damage compared to wheeled machines.
✔ Lower ground pressure than wheeled machines — ideal for landscaping, manicured lawns, irrigation work and any job where ground disturbance is a concern
✔ Dual hydraulic track drive motors — independent left/right drive for tight-radius pivot turns and full power to the ground
✔ 890kg operating weight — serious mass for stability, lift capacity and bucket fill
✔ 375kg max lifting power — lift a full pallet of pavers, fence posts, or fertiliser bags
✔ 200kg rated operating capacity — safe lift weight for stacked loads
✔ Max working height 2,115mm — loads into standard high-side trailers and small trucks
✔ Max dump height 1,460mm — clears most ute trays and small trailers
✔ Operator stand platform — walk-behind or stand-on operation for productivity on longer jobs
✔ Lever controls — proven, reliable, easy to learn, easy to service
✔ 1,033mm overall width — fits through standard 1.1m garden gates
✔ 90mm ground clearance — clears typical Aussie kerbing and rough ground
✔ Industry-standard universal hitch plate — compatible with the broad market of mini skid steer attachments (augers, trenchers, breakers, etc.)
WHY CHOOSE DIESEL OVER PETROL?
Smart commercial buyers, contractors and serious hobby farmers consistently choose diesel mini skid steers for five reasons:
• Cheaper running costs: Diesel delivers 30-40% better fuel economy than petrol equivalents at this size class. Over 1,000 hours of operation, that’s real money back in your pocket.
• Same fuel as your other gear: Tractor, ute, excavator, generator — all running diesel. One fuel drum on site does the lot. No more wasted weekend trips to top up petrol cans.
• Higher torque at low RPM: Diesel engines were literally designed for this kind of work — load-bearing, digging, pushing. You feel the difference immediately under load.
• Simpler & more reliable long-term: No spark plugs to foul, no ignition coil to fail, no carby to gum up if the machine sits for a few weeks between jobs.
• Better resale value: The Australian commercial used machinery market consistently values diesel-powered machines higher than petrol equivalents at resale time.
WHY WE CAN SELL THIS FOR $10,900 + GST — THE HONEST EXPLANATION
Smart buyers will notice this machine is priced significantly below comparable diesel mini skid steers from premium Aussie brands. We’re happy to explain why — the answer is structural, not a compromise on quality:
• Direct import, no middleman: We deal directly with the Chinese factory that builds this exact platform for several Aussie brands. No importer markup, no distributor cut, no national-dealer franchise fee.
• Volume strategy, not a one-off: This is an introductory offer to establish the TerraTuff brand in Australia. We’d rather sell ten machines to satisfied owners who refer their mates than three machines at premium prices with no word-of-mouth.
• Local workshop backing: Our 12-month motor warranty is backed through our own purpose-built Sunshine Coast workshop, not via an offshore call centre. When something needs attention, you’re dealing directly with us.
• Lower overhead than national distributors: No fleet of state managers, no city showrooms, no expensive trade-show stands. Our overhead is one workshop, one phone, one email. The savings flow directly to your purchase price.
• Stocked in Australia, not built-to-order: Machines like this are IN STOCK NOW — no 12-week wait, no deposit-then-pray ordering. Walk in, inspect, drive it home.
