Product Description

I went to see this LiuGong 970E HD excavator today. It’s a heavy-duty excavator made in China, with a very high cost-performance ratio. It was in almost brand new condition, but only costs less than half the price of a new machine. Started it up & ran it for some time (no smoke coming out the stack), hydraulics flowed smoothly throughout the sticks (no sticking, sticking means pump is likely worn), bomb arms lifted correctly & no hesitation or sticking of the bucket with the power up, good sign that the pump isn’t too fried yet. The swing was tight, there was no moving the time around, there didn’t seem to be a time lag (that’s all I can tell from just playing with it on concrete) and tracking seemed pretty good.

Under the machine, and this is where it gets interesting because usually the undercarriage on these is the first thing that will get trashed but on this one if I could see any of the parts were rubber triple grouser (pads) and they’re barely worn, rollers are dry, idlers look new, sprockets all teeth, track frames not any cracks welds etc there that I could see. That seemed unusual to me so I’ll see if the fuel filters are clean white… and they are, which is normally an indication of being new or that the machine hasn’t been used very often, and so are the hydraulic filters in the engine bay. The motor compartment is immaculate, “almost show-ready” so to speak, all hoses are black and soft, rather than looking cracked and cooked out from sitting outside for years.Cab is fine to drive: full frontguard mesh which is prudent if you’re demoing or working in such an area that you have falling rock or glass up to crackle to your eyes. Was not able to get inside since they had it locked up and another man with the key was in the process of dealing to another buyer so can’t say if the seat was ripped or what was working inside or if the AC was working or not. Outdoor clock times were also not discernable. The entire thing is indeed low time, or low usage, if you will. A smooth play in the pins with boom cylinders smooth and no scoring on the rods I could see.  I’m going to be slightly arrogant and assume that this unit has just emerged from the boat or was just given a terrible tugging before they set it out here, as there isn’t a single indication of it being used and abused. Looking at tracks alone, and they’re as clean as can be, indicates that very little digging has been done.

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.
