Thread: Excavators

If cost is a real issue you could try importing a used one from Japan, only issue is most are fixed buckets, no quick hitch.
I have imported 2 x dozers from Japan and have been quite impressed with the quality. The first one was a Komatsu, bought it to do one job, used it for 6 months or so then sold it for more than I bought it for. Bugger me a year later I landed another job where we needed one so did it again, the 2nd one was a Cat, sold that at the end of the job for another gain as well. Was impressed with both buys having just looked at photo's on web pages. The Japs would fall on there sword if they sold you shit gear. The current NZ$ to Yen rate is bloody good at the moment.
Do not buy any 2nd hand machinery from China
