We use this HY35C to dig down to main sewer lines. It’s compact enough for backyards but has the reach and power we need. Great machine.
Shipping was secure, setup was easy, and the machine has performed flawlessly for the 200 hours I’ve put on it.
I run a small excavation company and this HY35C fits right in with our larger equipment. It’s our go-to for mid-sized residential jobs.
I was worried an enclosed cab might limit visibility, but the glass wraps around nicely. You have a perfect view of the bucket and your surroundings.
Digs like a champ. When you put the tracking in high-speed mode on pavement it can be a bit jerky, but low speed is buttery smooth.

The crawler tracks have excellent grip in the mud. I’ve had it on some pretty steep inclines and the undercarriage feels incredibly stable and solid.
Aaron C. –
Tearing through old asphalt and concrete pads is no problem. The machine doesn’t get tossed around when the bucket bites in.
Paul W. –
The rear hood opens up wide, giving you great access to all the filters and the Yanmar engine. Greasing the pins takes only a few minutes.
Gary F. –
I used this to clear a heavily wooded half-acre lot. The hydraulic power pushed over and ripped out mature stumps without bogging down once.
Jose M. –
The steel tracks and idlers are built heavy. I don’t worry about popping a track when working on harsh terrain.
Shawn E. –
Rain or shine, I can keep working. The enclosed cab means I don’t lose days to bad weather anymore.
Jason O. –
I spend 8 hours a day in this machine and my back doesn’t ache. The ergonomics of the armrests and joysticks are spot on.
Peter V. –
Love the enclosed cab and the power of the machine. The instruction manual is a bit confusing to read, though. Luckily the machine is easy to figure out.
Derek S. –
Works exactly as advertised. Great breakout force. The only minor issue is the cab door latch was very stiff initially, but WD-40 fixed it up.
Matthew C. –
Had a minor question about hydraulic fluid capacity for cold weather. Called support and they answered immediately and knew the machine well.
Edward J. –
Used it to dig trenches for a new barn in the middle of January. The heater kept the cab toasty warm while the tracks powered through frozen mud.
Tyler B. –
Tracks perfectly straight and the boom is rock solid. Makes digging long utility trenches a breeze.
Gregory K. –
The glow plugs and Yanmar engine combo means it fires up without hesitation even when it’s below freezing.
Scott L. –
The boom reach allows me to dig deep footings for retaining walls without constantly repositioning the tracks. Massive time saver.
John S. –
With the door shut, the cabin is actually very quiet. The Yanmar engine is smooth and you don’t get that deafening rattle you get on cheaper machines.
Larry A. –
Navigates over large rocks and construction debris easily. The track motors are well protected and very strong.
James R. –
At 3.5 tons, it’s right in that sweet spot where it has serious digging power but can still be hauled safely behind a properly equipped heavy-duty pickup.
Patrick N. –
Used it to lower heavy concrete culverts into a trench. Handled the weight easily without feeling tippy.
Frank M. –
The paint job is durable and the panels line up perfectly. It doesn’t look or feel like a budget machine; it feels like a top-tier excavator.
Justin P. –
You can’t fake quality when it comes to engines. The 24HP Yanmar is the heart of this machine and it beats strong every single day.
Andrew V. –
That 24HP Yanmar is perfectly tuned. I can run it hard for a couple of days before needing to refill the tank. Saves me money on the job site.
Kevin D. –
Priced out name-brand 3.5T machines with cabs and they were almost double the price. The HUAYEE has exceeded all my expectations for half the cost.
Sarah L. –
Working in the rain or hot summer sun used to be miserable. The enclosed cab with AC and heat is a total game changer. Extremely comfortable to operate.
Adam G. –
The outside dimensions are compact enough for tight jobs, but the cab interior actually has plenty of shoulder and leg room.
Richard B. –
The hydraulic pump delivers great flow. I can scoop, swing, and dump very quickly, which makes loading dump trucks highly efficient.
Eric T. –
No jerky movements when swinging the cab. It’s very easy to feather the controls and dump dirt exactly where you want it.
Dennis H. –
The LED work lights are super bright. I had to finish a job after sunset and the lights illuminated the entire trench perfectly.
Steven H. –
Even when tracking across uneven ground with a full bucket, the machine feels planted. The blade provides a great anchor when trenching.
Marcus L. –
The HY35C is a fantastic 3.5T digger and the Yanmar engine is perfect. Deducting one star because the freight carrier delayed my delivery by a week.
Mark T. –
The HUAYEE HY35C is an absolute beast. The 24HP Yanmar engine gives it so much breakout force for a 3.5-ton machine. Highly recommend for commercial landscaping.
Nathan R. –
The machine digs incredibly well and the Yanmar engine is a beast. The AC works great, but the built-in radio speaker is pretty poor quality.
Trevor F. –
Heavy duty for sure. I had a squeak in one of the lower track rollers after 40 hours. Added some grease and it stopped. Very happy overall.
Robert C. –
The joystick hydraulics are buttery smooth. I can do very delicate grading work or switch to ripping out stumps with ease.
Ryan S. –
Bought it for my 50-acre farm to clean out ditches and build roads. The enclosed cab keeps the dust out perfectly.
Colin B. –
It’s a huge upgrade from my open-canopy machine. It digs hard. It is slightly noisy inside the cab at full RPM, but it’s a piece of heavy machinery so I expect some noise.
Benjamin W. –
Best purchase I’ve made for my contracting business this year. The HY35C makes money every time it rolls off the trailer.
Brian N. –
The jump to a 3.5-ton machine was huge for my business. The stability and lifting capacity are phenomenal compared to my old micro digger.
Luke P. –
Mechanically it’s a 5/5. The Yanmar engine is smooth. I did notice the paint on the counterweight scratched quite easily when brushing against a branch.
Daniel K. –
We have incredibly rocky soil here. This excavator just powers right through it. The boom and arm are heavily reinforced and take abuse well.
Samuel T. –
Ran it for 10 hours straight on a 95-degree day. The hydraulic cooler did its job and the machine never slowed down.
Thomas G. –
The AC blows ice cold! I live in the South and digging in August was always brutal. Now I’m comfortable all day long.
David H. –
I specifically sought out a machine with a Yanmar engine because they are bulletproof. This machine starts up immediately and sips diesel.
Gordon C. –
For a 3.5 ton machine, it works really hard. The enclosed cab is nice. I just wish the base package included a grading bucket along with the standard digging bucket.
Timothy R. –
It only took my new guy about an hour to get fully comfortable with the controls. Very intuitive and smooth.
Raymond H. –
Very minor complaint, but the cup holder inside the cab doesn’t fit my large thermos. The excavator itself is incredibly powerful and reliable.
Victor N. –
Digs like a champ. When you put the tracking in high-speed mode on pavement it can be a bit jerky, but low speed is buttery smooth.
