Whether you're a professional contractor looking for a versatile machine or a property owner wanting to tackle excavation projects independently, the PMEX12Y delivers a practical combination of power, manoeuvrability and operator control.
Premium 16.5hp (12.4kW) Yanmar 3-Cylinder Diesel Engine
At the heart of the PMEX12Y is a Yanmar 3TNV70 3-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, delivering 16.5hp (12.4kW) at 3000 RPM.
Yanmar is internationally recognised for manufacturing dependable diesel engines used in construction, agricultural and industrial machinery.
Compared with basic single-cylinder diesel engines commonly fitted to entry-level mini excavators, the 3-cylinder Yanmar provides smoother operation and more refined power delivery.
The water-cooled design helps regulate engine operating temperatures during demanding excavation work, making it particularly well suited to regular use in Australian conditions.
A generous 15L diesel fuel tank provides practical fuel capacity for extended work sessions.
Powerful 10kN Bucket Digging Force
Despite its compact size, the PMEX12Y delivers an impressive 10kN bucket excavating force, providing the power required for digging trenches, excavating soil, landscaping and general earthmoving applications.
The combination of the Yanmar diesel engine and hydraulic digging system provides the performance required to tackle demanding jobs while retaining the manoeuvrability of a compact excavator.
Whether digging footings, preparing drainage trenches, removing soil or completing landscaping projects, the PMEX12Y provides capable excavation performance in a practical 1.2 tonne package.
Expandable 850–1050mm Tracks
One of the standout features of the PMEX12Y is its expandable track system, allowing the machine's footprint width to be adjusted between 850mm and 1050mm.
With the tracks retracted to just 850mm wide, the excavator is ideal for accessing narrow pathways, restricted worksites and confined areas where larger machines cannot operate.
Once positioned in the working area, the tracks can be extended to 1050mm, providing a wider footprint for improved stability during excavation.
This versatility makes the PMEX12Y particularly useful for residential construction, backyard excavation, landscaping and property maintenance.
Precision Hydraulic Joystick Controls
The PMEX12Y features hydraulic joystick controls and control valves for the main digging and swing functions.
Joystick operation provides operators with smooth, responsive control of the excavator's working functions, making it easier to perform accurate digging and positioning tasks.
The control arrangement is familiar to experienced excavator operators and provides an intuitive operating experience for users transitioning from smaller machinery.
Dual-lever track drive controls allow straightforward manoeuvring around the worksite, with a travel speed of approximately 1.5km/h.
Zero Tail Swing Design, Versatile Boom Swing & 360° Rotation
The Paddock PMEX12Y features a Zero Tail Swing design, making it ideal for operating in confined spaces and working close to walls, fences, buildings and other obstacles. With the rear of the excavator designed to remain within the track footprint during rotation, operators can work confidently in restricted areas while reducing the risk of contact with surrounding structures.
The PMEX12Y also features a versatile boom swing arrangement, allowing the boom to move 50° to the left and 70° to the right.
This is particularly useful when excavating alongside walls, fences, foundations and other obstacles where repositioning the entire machine may be difficult.
The excavator also features 360° upper structure rotation, allowing the operator to dig, swing and discharge material around the machine.
The combination of Zero Tail Swing, versatile boom swing and full 360° upper structure rotation makes the PMEX12Y exceptionally versatile for confined-space excavation, residential construction, landscaping and restricted-access earthmoving applications.
Impressive Digging Reach & Depth
The PMEX12Y delivers an excellent working range for a compact 1.2 tonne excavator.
With a maximum digging depth of 1809mm and maximum digging radius of 3439mm, the machine is well suited to drainage, trenching, landscaping and general excavation work.
A maximum digging height of 3018mm and dumping height of 2039mm provide useful working reach when loading excavated material or repositioning spoil.
These capabilities make the PMEX12Y suitable for a wide variety of residential, agricultural and light commercial excavation applications.
450mm Excavator Bucket & Manual Thumb Included
The Paddock™ PMEX12Y comes equipped with a 450mm digging bucket and manual excavator thumb as standard, providing additional versatility straight out of the box.
The 450mm bucket provides a practical digging width for trenching, earthmoving and general excavation work.
The manually adjustable excavator thumb allows operators to position and secure the thumb to suit different material-handling tasks. Working together with the excavator bucket, the thumb helps grip and handle irregularly shaped objects such as rocks, branches, timber and debris.
This makes the PMEX12Y particularly useful for:
- Moving rocks and rubble
- Handling branches and timber
- Clearing vegetation and debris
- Positioning landscaping materials
- General property cleanup
- Handling irregularly shaped objects
The manual thumb provides a simple, practical solution for occasional material handling without requiring an additional hydraulic circuit.
Unlike a hydraulic thumb, the manual thumb is positioned and secured manually rather than being independently operated through the excavator's hydraulic controls.
Compact 1.2 Tonne Excavator
With an operating weight of 1200kg, the PMEX12Y combines useful excavation capability with a compact footprint.
The tracked undercarriage distributes the machine's weight across the ground, making it suitable for a range of prepared and unprepared work surfaces, subject to ground conditions.
Its compact dimensions make it particularly attractive for residential worksites, landscaping projects, rural properties and jobs requiring access through narrow openings.
Always confirm the machine's transport weight, dimensions and suitable trailer capacity before transporting.
