Why buy a new mini excavator rather than hire?

Investing in a new JMEKA mini excavator can significantly transform your approach to site work.

  • Long-term efficiency: A new mini excavator is designed to deliver optimum performance for many years. By investing in your own equipment, you can be sure of a machine that can be used instantly, all the time, whether for residential construction, landscaping or renovation projects. Forget the constraints of availability and enjoy total freedom of action whenever you want!
  • Long-term cost: Although the initial purchase of a mini excavator may seem like a major investment, in the long term it can be more cost-effective than repeatedly hiring one out. You avoid rental costs for each project, and you have a tangible asset that retains its value over time. What's more, as a French manufacturer of mini-excavators, we control the entire manufacturing process and strive to keep the initial cost of manufacturing the machines under control to limit the final cost of sale.
  • Total control: By owning your own equipment, you have total control over its maintenance, storage and use. This allows you to maximise the lifespan of your equipment and investment.

In conclusion, buying a JMEKA mini excavator has many advantages over hiring one. It's an investment in the efficiency, reliability and long-term profitability of your construction, landscaping and other operations.

You can also invest in a JMEKA attachment at a later date and expand your work possibilities. We manufacture more than 30 attachments that will enable you to dig a trench without getting tired, load, clean, carry heavy loads, drill, rip, stump grubber, clean, sweep... the possibilities are endless!

Stump removal with a JMEKA mini excavator

When a tree is felled, a stump often remains which can be difficult to remove.
Using a JMEKA micro shovel to uproot a stump is an effective and inexpensive method.
Here's how to uproot a stump using a JMEKA micro shovel

1. Site preparation

Assessment of the stump: Before starting, assess the size of the stump and its root system. Large tree stumps with deep roots will require more time and care.

Clearing the area: Clear the area around the stump of any obstacles, such as stones, branches or other debris. This will make it easier for the micro-shovel to work.
Many JMEKA accessories are available for this purpose.

Safety: Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles and a helmet to avoid injury.

Positioning: Position the micro excavator at an appropriate distance from the stump to get good reach while keeping the machine stable.
2. Uprooting techniques

Digging around the stump: Use the bucket of the micro-shovel to dig a trench around the stump, exposing the main roots. Take care not to damage underground structures or infrastructure.

Cut the roots: Cut the main roots with your bucket or a saw.

Dislodging the stump: Once the main roots have been cut, use the bucket, the ripper tooth or possibly the vine puller to dislodge the stump. If the stump is still resistant, it may be necessary to dig deeper or cut more roots.

Removing the stump: Once the stump has been loosened, remove it from the hole.

Levelling the ground: Fill the hole with soil to level the ground. Use one of our various accessories for this action, such as the 3-tooth claw or the rake claw.
Pack the soil to prevent it from settling in the future. You can also add potting soil to enrich the soil if you plan to replant in the area.
Conclusion

Stump removal or uprooting a stump with a micro-shovel is very effective. With proper preparation and by following the right techniques, you can remove tree stumps safely and successfully. Whether you're preparing your garden for new planting or cleaning up your land, a JMEKA micro excavator is the ideal tool for the job.
