should I buy a chinese excavator ?they are so cheap
>>2947531Get a used Chinese excavator. They are even cheaper.
govplanet has auctions that have namebrand shit for a few grand. It's gonna be former rental equipment and well used, buyer beware
>>2947676>namebrand shit for a few grandthis is a yootoob mythgov surplus always brings a premium which is stupid because govt employees are hard on shit because not their money/bottomline. when heavy equipment goes cheap theres always something colossally wrong with itt. buys shit from auctions all the time
>>2947678I got a Kubota side by side for $1800 that ran fine, was just cosmetically REKT. It was only 30 minutes from me so I even save don shipping
>>2947531Buy a decent unit at auction do your work and sell it in a few years. Don't buy rotted out bottom of the barrel but mid tier affordable name brand and sell it yourself.
>>2947531No
>>2947713cant afford
>>2947531guy on Youtube brought the biggest normal digger that weights 18 tons and requires Wide and Weight special permits just to move on the road, for $7500, and it all worked. 5 gal oil change. Says they are cheap because so hard to move and no one wants them, and big corp, big govt contracts, can't afford to take chance on downtime and bringing in another unit.
