Guys - what's everyone's opinions on a Link-belt 3400Q excavator? It's a 1996 model with 7600 hours. Looks really nice and clean. Are they a decent machine to run? Parts easy to come by? Are they hydraulics quick and strong? I am looking at one and haven't actually gone to test it out or look it over just wanting some opinions on them first. Thanks. Chris
its a sumitomo, manufactured in japan. Not a bad machine. Same as a 9040B Case..... I have a 95. Be aware that some of the boom pins are NLA, meaning if you do any rebuilding or replacing bearings and pins, you may have to have them built.
Is your's fairly stable? My old CAT is 85,000 lbs so I'm hoping I won't regret going smaller but I think for what I do smaller will be easier to get from place to place and the only time I really need the size of mine is tearing trees out. Are other parts available for the machine other than pins? Thanks. Chris
