Product Description

I spotted a nice excavator today—an SY35U mini-excavator parked in a dealer’s yard, surrounded by various other pieces of equipment, including machines from Komatsu, Case, and Hyundai. SANY model, made in China but these little 3.5 ton ones will hold up well as long as they are not beaten up. Clean glass no cracks (hardly ever seen on yard equipment); no seeing any tears in black rubber door seals.  Standard hydraulic equipment with a bucket with teeth, dozer blade in front and the optional hydraulic equipment for a thumb attachment, great for sorting material jobs. Paint is in good condition, no flaking or rouging on body panels with a yellow color, black counterweight and no cracking/ denting from outside. Hey for a mini this thing didn’t seem to have been over used or anything, yet it definitely got its use.

Interior: see some dirt (cab cab is moderately dirty, dust on the dash and floor has some stuff on it, operator obviously did not baby it, but he/she didn’t trash the cab either). It seats show gray fabric (which are worn and “dirty” as all machine seats I’ve seen), the joystick controls are right hand, with red buttons… pedals are rubber and are intact. Fire extinguisher attached to the door (half of these machines don’t have one of these anymore). Ceiling is surprisingly clean / light grey colour, no grease smears or tool marks. Frustratingly, I saw nothing of an hour meter in the pictures I took but anyway, I checked my notes and no it wasn’t in the dash cluster, might be digital and I didn’t have the key to dig it out.  What I could see on the boom hydraulic cylinders – there were no fresh oil streaks or-active weeping seals, and underneath the swing bearing area there was just caked dirt – no active leaks puddling on the frame rails. There is no slop to see while boom is parked for obvious pins that I couldn’t pull apart and bushings, would have to take apart and cycle under load to see if there was slop or not. Cleaning the tracks is in great need, but they appear structurally healthy. Inspection was during cloudy conditions and lighting conditions were not ideal for identifying small items. Machine’s sitting level undercarriage isn’t sagging to one side which will let you know that the rollers are not all worn out. No smoke on the exhaust—but it wasn’t running so I would like to hear it fire and test-drive it (dig) before I put out cash for it.

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.
