2026 SANY SY60C Pro Crawler Mini Excavator

Today I inspected a brand new SANY 60C Pro at the site. The staff had cleaned the excavator very thoroughly so I could observe it properly; the ground was still wet when I arrived. The first thing I checked was the engine compartment, as it’s the most important part of the machine. The engine compartment was as clean as when it left the factory, which is understandable given that it was recently manufactured. There was no oil mist on the firewall, and no carbon buildup on the valve cover. They have cylinders that were firing smooth while I had them running it cold, and the air filter canister was not caked either, which generally indicates that it’s not been used for heavy duty work but rather it’s either light duty or that someone really did change the canister. There is no evidence of a hydraulic block under the hood, no cracks or bulges in the hoses and all the crimps are tight – it’s actually cleaner than most that I see that have low hours.

Note that Cab’s still in factory plastic on the seat and the joysticks are either still covered or they wrapped it up for the photos, as is floor mat, so it’s been worked, but not beaten. The glass is not cracked, no cracked door seals, control panel lights on up correctly with no lights on and the linkage under the floor is not loose and the pedals move freely.  The undercarriage was where I spent the majority of my time, because minis killer is simply there and the track pads are still 85% meat, the idler is not gouged and chain links don’t seem to be stretched or twisted like I have seen in machines that were run in demo or rocky dirt all day. The teeth on sprockets are called sharp. After cleaning it up with Clean.wait I was able to put my fingers around the hydraulic pump mount, and thought I saw witness marks in the area, but it is just old dust, no fresh oil there, and no wetness anywhere on the swing motor housing, or the boom cylinders.  Blade cylinders move out and in of the dozer frame with no leakage and the dozer frame welds are not cracked. There is no jerking or cavitation noise from the pump as boom moves smoothly across full range, stick cylinder seals look dry and they didn’t get any indication of delay or drop when they curled the bucket that indicates internal leaks. Engine was not running erratically or starting to “hunt” or surge when idling. Tracks tight. The inspection took place when it was cold, which causes some contraction and nothing did look amiss. It must have very few hours, or it was probably finish worked since there are no impact dents anywhere in the frame or torch cuts where the swing bearing was not as it is with other frames. Don’t see any reason to go anywhere unless it’s a stupid price.
