Mini excavators & skid steers for Northern Suburbs & Whittlesea
Basalt to the west of the Plenty River, clay and volcanic soil to the east, and the growth corridor between.
Craigieburn, Epping, Mernda, Doreen and Whittlesea are the northern growth corridor, split by the Plenty River between the basalt plains to the west and the older clay and volcanic soils to the east.
Ground
Basalt and heavy clay west of the Plenty, red and brown clay and volcanic soil to the east around Doreen and Kinglake, and wet winters that turn both to mud.
Typical jobs
New-estate landscaping and retaining walls, acreage and equine work around Whittlesea and Kinglake, bushfire preparation on the ridges.
Machines that suit
The R15 for estates, the R22 PRO for acreage, an RS06 skid steer for both. Tilt-tray delivery from the Melbourne depot.
