In modern nursery operations, the efficiency of key processes such as seedbed preparation, seedling transplantation, and soil improvement directly dictates the breeding cycle and survival rate of new plant varieties. The TOVISEN Mini Excavator 18Q, with its compact size, tailored technical parameters, and versatile attachments, has emerged as a core piece of equipment for precision nursery work. It not only slashes labor costs significantly but also elevates the overall quality of new variety cultivation.
The technical parameters of the TOVISEN Mini Excavator 18Q are perfectly calibrated to the tight spaces and delicate tasks of nursery environments:
With an overall weight of 1,800kg and a total width of 1,160mm, it can maneuver effortlessly through nursery rows with only 1.2 meters of spacing, eliminating the risk of seedbed compaction or seedling damage.
Boasting a maximum digging radius of 3,560mm and a digging depth of 2,150mm, it can accurately excavate tree pits 40–60cm deep (ideal for the root systems of new nursery varieties) and handle full-scale seedbed tilling.
Its 30° climbing capacity allows it to tackle undulating nursery terrain with ease, while the TOVISEN-exclusive wear-resistant engineering rubber tracks prevent topsoil compaction that would hinder seed germination.
New plant varieties demand strict standards for seedbed flatness and soil looseness. The TOVISEN 18Q delivers integrated "tilling, shaping, and debris removal" operations:
Equipped with a TOVISEN standard bucket (0.045m³ capacity), it achieves a single-pass tilling depth of 20–30cm and covers over 300㎡ per hour. This breaks up compacted soil into loose, aerated particles, boosting soil permeability—an 8x efficiency increase compared to manual labor.
Via its TOVISEN hydraulic micro-control system, the excavator maintains seedbed height accuracy within ±3cm. For moisture-loving varieties, it creates beds with a slope ≤2°; for drought-tolerant species, it forms ridges 15cm high, ensuring optimal growing conditions for diverse new varieties.
Using the TOVISEN foot-operated crushing attachment, it clears stones and dead roots from seedbeds, while the bucket facilitates quick debris removal. This eliminates competition for nutrients between weeds and valuable new seedlings.
New variety seedlings have fragile root systems, and the TOVISEN 18Q’s agile operation and specialized attachments enable "damage-free transplantation":
Based on seedling root ball size (e.g., 20cm diameter), the TOVISEN LED LCD screen lets operators preset digging parameters, ensuring pit diameter error ≤2cm and depth error ≤5cm for full root system expansion.
Featuring a TOVISEN 360° full-body rotation design, it can operate precisely from the side in dense nursery areas with 2 seedlings per square meter, reducing seedling damage by 90%.
The optional TOVISEN grapple attachment securely lifts root-ball seedlings up to 50kg, increasing transplantation efficiency by 10x compared to manual work while maintaining over 95% root ball integrity.
To meet the soil fertility needs of new nursery varieties, the TOVISEN 18Q pairs with the TOVISEN auger attachment to drill 15–20cm deep fertilizer holes for targeted organic fertilizer application. Its dozer blade then levels the soil post-fertilization, ensuring uniform nutrient distribution across the seedbed.
The TOVISEN Mini Excavator 18Q combines a compact footprint, nursery-specific adaptability, and multi-functionality to boost efficiency by 6–10x across key new variety cultivation processes. It also reduces seedling damage and improves survival rates, making it an indispensable tool for large-scale, modern nursery breeding operations.
