Product Description

This 2021 Bobcat E17Z has recorded 2,165 operating hours; for a compact excavator that has been in use for three years with normal usage—meaning it hasn’t been subjected to excessive abuse—this figure is reasonable. I’d say that it’s not catastrophic since I fired it up and it’s not smoking, idles clean, no weird knock or rattle from the block, wait I’m going to take another look on the dash… yeah there’s a red engine warning light lit up on the dash but coolant gauge is fine and it’s not overheating so could be a sensor throw or regen nag, didn’t have Doosan scan tool with me to pull codes but it’s running strong enough that I’d say it’s not catastrophic. When I did function checks, it seems that there’s some clean and no problem on the hydraulic, bucket curls in a smooth manner, stick reacts quickly without any jerking and no cavitation from the pump. Nothing of concern with the surface wear on the rollers and idlers.

As you would expect Paint is trashed with both white and orange body covered with dirt, counterweight has rust blooming out where the paint has fallen off, typical circumstances for a unit used outdoors in a humid climate, data plate is filthy and some of the text is worn but I was able to extract the serial and year off it. That Bucket’s a dig bucket, edges are worn round, pins have some play but nothing loose, quick coupler’s got green oxidation in many places, showing me a lot of moisture had free range of movement, however it is still tight mechanically. I checked the under side of the machine for leaks—the cylinders look dry, no fresh oil streaks, pump housing is clean (only old dust and job-site dirt) and thus no seals are weeping, which is the primary concern on these machines. No longer has operator’s manual. No Cab either, its just a ROPS frame, so if you are using it in the winter you will freeze, Seat is dirty, but not broken, dash is dirty but working and controls work, no broken or missing components as far as I could tell. That red warning light is annoying but I would guess that these Doosan engines throw codes for emissions crap all the time and continue to operate just fine, and I would make a call to have it blown away but I would not have been leaving because of that light unless I’m a doer of crazy.

Picked up one 2025 CAT 320D2 for a highway expansion job we just won out in Texas. Was worried about the hours being rolled back because you see that everywhere now but our shop foreman plugged in the laptop and ECM matched the dash exactly. Good solid iron.

My guys have been running the Volvo EC210D we got off here for about 400 hours now. Zero downtime. The inspection report noted a slight weep on the bucket cylinder which I appreciated Equipment auditors on the machdealers platform telling me upfront. Repacked the cylinder for $150 and it's been making us money ever since.

Load a lot of containers for West Africa out of different ports. Best thing about machdealers platform is they get the export docs right the first time. Commercial invoice, packing list, title. No delays at Jebel Ali Port Customs. Bought 4 KOMATSU PC200-8 from them so far.

We run a basalt quarry site in Central Ethiopia, we needed a 36 ton heavy excavator that can run 24/7 loading rock. Found a used KOMATSU PC 350 on here, after 3 weeks non stop continuous operation on site, engine temperature stayed normal all the time. That machine takes so much beating on our rocky ground, no issues at all. Exactly the tough workhorse we needed.

The shipment from korea to Uganda took a little over four weeks, slightly longer than I was initially told, but the platform sent me weekly photo updates showing the machine's location on the ship, so I never worried about losing money. The machine arrived in perfect condition, and the short wait was worthwhile. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

We found a Volvo EC240 excavator at a very good price for our new residential project. The seller even uploaded complete maintenance records from the previous owner, saving us the cost of hiring an independent inspector and flying in to check the machine's condition. This alone saved us over $800 in travel expenses.

    I’m a one man show doing septic tanks and grading. Rented forever until I found a Kubota U35 here. Wth financing rates right now I needed a cash deal. Got a great price. Rubber tracks are almost new. Starts every morning no problem.
