Brogan 1.8T Contractor Pro Excavator – Kubota Powered

The Brogan 1.8T Contractor Pro Excavator is a production-ready mini excavator built specifically for landscape contractors, hardscape crews, and excavation professionals.

Powered by the Kubota D902 diesel engine, this machine delivers reliable performance with a globally supported parts network and a mechanically simple design that contractors can service in the field.

Unlike entry-level mini excavators, the Brogan M18 is configured with contractor-focused upgrades including auxiliary hydraulics, expandable undercarriage, pilot-operated controls, and attachment-ready hydraulic circuits.

This machine provides dealer-level capability without dealer-level markup.
