We recognise this model across the auction sites and keep every one we see together.

On a used one

Check the hours on the engine and hydraulic pump, inspect the undercarriage, tracks, idlers and sprockets for wear, and test all hydraulic functions including the boom, dipper and bucket cylinders for leaks. Ask about service history, attachment compatibility and whether the quick coupler and auxiliary hydraulics are fitted and functioning.
