Which is better for a small yard?

The MS10H. It weighs 2,204 lb, rotates 360°, has a removable canopy and a 5.7 ft digging depth, which suits tight spaces. The Apexyun is about 440 lb heavier.

The MS10H publishes a 5.7 ft max digging depth. Apexyun does not list a digging depth, so you cannot compare on paper.

Is the thumb included on both?

Only on the MS10H, where the hydraulic thumb clip comes in the box. The Apexyun lists a five-attachment package, so confirm what is included before buying.

Which engine is easier to service?

The Apexyun's Briggs & Stratton XR13.5 has wide US parts and dealer coverage. The MS10H uses a Rato engine, which is less common in US repair shops.

Is one worth the extra money?

Neither costs extra. Both are $4,699.00 as of November 4, 2026, so choose on weight, thumb and engine support, not price.

No lifespan data is published for either. The Apexyun's Briggs & Stratton engine and heavier frame favor long-term durability; the MS10H backs its machine with a 1-year warranty.

Apexyun 1.2 Ton Mini Excavator vs 1 Ton Mini Excavator with 13.5 HP Gasoline Engine and Thumb Clip-MS10H

These two are the same price: $4,699.00 as of November 4, 2026, the Apexyun at Walmart and the MS10H at MMS INDUSTRIAL. The Apexyun is the heavier machine at 2,645.55 lb with a 1.2-ton rating and a Briggs & Stratton engine, so pick it for bigger digging and easier US parts. The MS10H is lighter at 2,204 lb, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 26 ratings, and includes a hydraulic thumb, so pick it for tight yards and attachment work.
