The construction of the mini excavator is based on the needs of the family farm where this type of machine can be used in the execution of agricultural and small construction works. The basic documentation was acquired online, and included only the basic drawings of the steel structure. The location, arrangement and characteristics of the drive components are dimensioned by the author of the final project. All installed components were bought from local suppliers, and the production of steel parts was entrusted to a local locksmith workshop. Before the start of production, detailed workshop documentation was prepared by the author. The design of the drive and control part was designed by the author. All phases of making individual assemblies are managed and supervised by the author. Upon completion of the assembly of parts into a single functional unit, the machine was tested in real conditions and the necessary adjustments were made. After testing, the mini excavator was used for 50 working hours in land categories I - III, and it confirmed its functionality.
