Tweed Heads excavator range
| Machine | Best suited to | Dry hire |
|---|---|---|
| Kubota K008-3 0.9T | Specialist very tight access | $200/day |
| Kubota U17-3 1.7T | Most residential jobs | $250/day |
| Kubota U25-3 2.5T | More digging depth and productivity | $350/day |
| Yanmar ViO55-6B 5.5T | Larger excavation where access allows | $500/day |
The U17-3 remains our most popular all-rounder. Choose the K008-3 when access is the limiting factor, step up to the U25-3 when more depth and productivity are useful, or ask about the ViO55-6B for larger work where the site can accommodate it.
Attachments vary by machine
Included attachments form part of the confirmed daily hire package and do not attract separate daily attachment hire charges. The K008-3 includes three buckets and a sleeper grab. For the U17-3, the confirmed package includes a 300 mm toothed bucket, 450 mm toothed bucket, 1,000 mm mud bucket with bolt-on edge, ripper, Auger Torque X2000 drive, 300 mm auger, 450 mm auger, hydraulic rock grabber where suitable and a sleeper grab. The U25-3 includes three buckets, ripper, auger package, hydraulic rock grabber and sleeper grab. ViO55-6B attachment requirements are confirmed with Rick for the job.

Tweed Heads collection by appointment
Tweed Heads is Digger2Hire’s genuine Northern Rivers and Tweed collection base. It is not a staffed walk-in depot. Collection must be arranged and approved before handover.
For eligible plant-trailer machines, the K008-3 requires at least 2,500 kg braked towing capacity. The U17-3 and U25-3 require at least 3,500 kg braked towing capacity. For a U17-3 collection, the fully equipped package is approximately 2,700 kg with attachments and can approach 3,000 kg with mud on return. A compatible, functioning electric trailer brake controller, current full open driver licence and comprehensive insurance are also required. The custom U17-3 trailer is plated 3,500 kg; this is a maximum rating, not actual load. All applicable vehicle, trailer and loaded-combination limits remain the customer’s responsibility. Digger2Hire confirms the exact vehicle and collection arrangement before approval. The 5.5T ViO55-6B is delivery only by flatbed truck.
Read the delivery and pickup requirements before planning customer collection.
Delivery around Tweed Heads and Tweed
Standard delivery and collection for the 0.9T, 1.7T and 2.5T machines are $150 within approximately 20 km where applicable. Longer distances are quoted individually. The 5.5T ViO55-6B requires flatbed-truck transport and delivery is quoted based on the job location. For delivered plant-trailer hires, Digger2Hire normally retains the trailer unless otherwise agreed beforehand.
The practical local service area includes Tweed Heads, Tweed Heads South and nearby Tweed locations such as Banora Point and Kingscliff where the delivery arrangement is suitable. Tweed Coast and longer Northern Rivers trips are quoted according to distance and the confirmed machine.
Tight access or a larger excavation?
Machine width can matter as much as digging capability. The K008-3 retracts to approximately 700 mm for specialist narrow access. The U17-3 retracts to approximately 990 mm and suits many residential jobs. The larger U25-3 and ViO55-6B need more access and working room.
Measure the complete route to the work area, including gates, turns, eaves, walls, slopes and soft ground. If you are unsure, send Rick measurements and photos before the hire is confirmed.

Tweed Heads excavator hire FAQs
Do you offer dry hire or wet hire?
Digger2Hire provides dry hire. You operate the machine yourself and we go through the controls and practical handover information before release.
Which machine should I start with?
The U17-3 is the most popular all-rounder. If access is extremely tight, ask about the K008-3. If the job needs more capability and the site has room, the U25-3 or ViO55-6B may be more practical.
Can I collect from Tweed Heads?
Approved customer collection is available by appointment for eligible plant-trailer machines after Rick confirms the exact machine, trailer, vehicle, machine-specific towing capacity, brake controller, licence and insurance requirements. The 5.5T ViO55-6B is delivery only by flatbed truck.
How much is local delivery?
Standard delivery and collection for the 0.9T, 1.7T and 2.5T machines are $150 within approximately 20 km where applicable. Longer distances are quoted individually. The 5.5T ViO55-6B requires flatbed-truck transport and delivery is quoted based on the job location.
What should I send when I enquire?
Send the job location, dates, what you need to excavate, access measurements and useful photos so Rick can help identify the right machine.
