What it actually does

At 3.85 tonnes, the CFG-40UF sits exactly where most Quebec contractors need a machine to sit: heavy enough to dig a basement entrance in a day, light enough to travel on a class 3 trailer behind a one-ton pickup.

Common questions

Why is it 35 to 45% cheaper?

Because there is no dealer network to fund between the factory and you. We import direct and post the price.

Is the posted price the real price?

Yes. Taxes and transport to your site are extra, and we confirm both in writing with the quote. Every machine is inspected, tested and cleaned before it ships.

What is the warranty?

An 18-month parts warranty.

Who repairs it if it breaks?

The engine is a Kubota D1703, the same block found in thousands of machines across Quebec. Machinery garages and heavy equipment mechanics know it well: filters, belts and injectors are available locally. For the rest, many parts are standard international components that are easy to source; machine-specific parts are ordered from the factory, allow about a month.

Can I see it before buying?

Yes. Book a demo and put it to work.

What sets this machine apart, in detail?

The boom swing is what makes it useful on residential work. You dig along a foundation or a fence line without repositioning the machine every bucket. Combined with the 1,700 mm dozer blade, you dig, backfill and grade without ever climbing down to change a tool.

The cab is enclosed and air conditioned, which matters more than people expect when the season runs April to December.

Come put it to work.
