Which digs deeper, the XIX or the XVIII?

The Terror XIX Prestige digs to 86.5 in (about 2,197 mm) versus 2,060 mm (about 81 in) on the XVIII. It also reaches higher at 111.6 in versus 2,580 mm. The XIX wins on depth and reach.

Is the XIX worth the extra money?

Only the XVIII has a listed price: $11,799 at Walmart as of November 6, 2026. The XIX adds a sealed A/C and heated cab, pilot joysticks, a hydraulic thumb and retractable tracks. If you work year-round or in tight access, those features justify a premium; for occasional farm digging, the XVIII is enough.

Which is better for working next to walls and fences?

The XVIII has a stated minimum swing radius of 1,711 mm (about 67 in), which helps in tight corners. The XIX has boom swing for working near walls but no published swing radius. Check both in person if clearance is critical.

Can either fit through a narrow gate?

The XIX's retractable tracks narrow to about 1,000 mm (39 in), so it fits through most residential gates. The XVIII's track width is not listed as adjustable, so measure before you buy.

Do both use the same engine?

Yes, both use the Kubota D902 three-cylinder diesel rated at 20.4 hp. The XVIII lists 15.8 hp at 2,200 rpm and 20.4 hp at 3,600 rpm, so it makes full power only at higher rpm.

Which is better for cold-weather work?

The XIX. Its enclosed cab has A/C and a heater, so you can work through winter. The XVIII's cab lists air conditioning and heating too, but the XIX is the machine described as fully enclosed for all-season use.
