Product Description

Today, at around 3pm, Under the guidance of staff from ETS Group LLC (ТОВ «ЕТС ГРУП»),walked this machine and cat 305.5E2 which are now sitting on a gravel lot with a bunch of other iron. When I was there the engine was not running, but I was not able to view the hours meter from outside, so couldn’t determine how much it used – would have to start it to see. The corrugated black sleeves is good, it means it was somebody’s thought to have to protect hydraulic hoses, but there’s mud all the way around; it’s difficult to say if there is anything weeping and not properly washed. As far as life on the tracks, they are rubber, and you can tell they are about 10-15% into their life, as far as pads, they are just showing the typical wear pattern you would find in what you would expect, a some rust staining because they have all been sitting outside their entire life. Rollers and idlers have dirt and old mud on them, there was a surface rust on the metal but nothing that looked like it was in dire need of replacing — wait let me take some pictures — yep, it had lots of old dried dirt on the underside frame, but no fresh oil saying Replace Me!

The cab wasn’t completely cleaned, but a careful inspection confirmed that the machine had no oil leaks. It’s not junked but soiled as though it had been farmed. There was some wear on the fabrics and gray material, operator controls are the standard joystick, mat had debris on it, dust on dashboard, a couple stickers on window on right couldn’t see what all of the stickers said; there was the standard glare. There are no glass cracks; a plus. There did not appear to be any damage to the door seals. Unfortunately the whole time that I was there it was overcast so that lighting was not good enough for close-up inspection work.Machine appears to be a used Good Working Mini Ex. Does not appear to be abused in my opinion, but neither is it as fresh as it could be. Undercarriage has got some life left in it, nothing seems to be falling off the hydraulics do not look to have any liquid in them but there again if you have to clean it and run it hot to be sure. Cab needs a vacuum. Would I buy it? It is in terms of hours and price it depends on it but mechanically it doesn’t raise any red flags on a walk around. If it is important to you, have the fluid sample and compression test performed.

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.

The team here truly understands the procurement process of construction companies—they won't bombard you with sales calls after you submit an inquiry, but will send you the specifications, prices, and inspection documents you require within an hour. 10/10, they will be our first choice for all future upgrades and replacements of our excavator fleet.

    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.
