scrolling on marketplace i saw a few for sell they dint look bad but I googled the company and on machinery trader, the newest one was from 2018. I did go to the website and they don't have any mention for excavators just skid steers, loaders, and telehandlers.
IIRC they simply re-badged ones from Germany, Mustang I think.
yeah I tried to google and I wasn't coming up with anything which I think it said wacker made the excavators before
From the looks of the Manitou website, it doesn't look like there are any excavators offered through their brands anymore. Also, didn't realize Mustang is no longer listed as a Manitou brand. https://www.manitou-group.com/en/group/brands/ Quick search shows they switched from Wacker to Yanmar mini excavators in 2012, but not sure when they discontinued them all together. The few of them I worked on were older and pretty beat up, but were good machines. I know we never seemed to have any issues getting parts for them, but may have had to go through Wacker or Yanmar.
Thinking back.....I came across a GEHL mini that must have made by GEHL, it was very boxy, had similar lines like their skidloaders, and IIRC the age (it was a craigslist advert) must have been one of the first.
I looked up what is my local dealer and the dealer they listed doesn't even have gehl on their so I'm not sure if north Carolina even has a dealer then
the ones I saw were on machinery trader I mean they had a 2017 on there with 42 hours I think for 44k I can't remember the state but anit no point in even looking at a machine that you have no dealer support for
