I'm going tuesday to look at these two machine... anything special you can notice? http://www.mascus.ca/Construction/Used-Crawler-excavators/Hitachi-UH081/3d856687.html http://www.machinerytrader.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=7712659& thanks Alexis
yeah, both at least 5k overpriced...you gonna take one of them, take the deere. easy to fix, no electronics..parts everywhere.
the economy is not as bad here as in the states... there are NO excavator of any size in passable working conditions for less than 10 grand...
I'd take a pass on both of those machines and dedicate a few more bucks towards finding a clean 690ELC or EX200-2 or 3 ....but if I had to take one of those,I'd take the hitachi....useable parts for a 690A are getting harder and harder to find
I agree. If you will pay up a little and keep the machine up in 5 yrs you will hold your money.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
The trackchains on the Hitachi look to be quite worn, the idlers are well out of the frames, also they have been fitted back to front
can you tell me what are the consequences of that? thanks
