Sany 80U Excavator
Flyin6:
I sold my Kobelco SKC-250 Excavator machine this week.
That leaves me with no excavator down farmside...Hmmm
I have the majority of the big work completed, and now have a long line of chores to complete with an excavator
I'll need to:
Pick up and stack stones into retaining walls
Dig drainage ditches
Dig ditches to bury pipe and conduit for electrical cables
Dig the foundation/basement space for the new house
Pull up trees
Lift semi heavy things onto the second floor/roof of my buildings
Smash up poachers trucks I find on my property
Pick up and stack logs
and a variery of other tasks
So I think I need a "Midi", something bigger than the minis because I need more power and something smaller than the massive big excavator I used to own.
Looking around the Kubota KX80 was my first pick followed by something near a Cat 308 or a Deere of the same size.
But there happens to be a SANY dealership about three miles from me and they actually still have a couple 80's in stock
They will sell me a rubber track machine with a 36" bucket and a hydraulic thumb for $96K
And get this, it has a 5-year/5,000 hour bumper to bumper warranty!!!!!!!!!!
Ya, if something happens they will send a truck out and repair my machine on site for free...for 5 very long and abusive years...
So I am considering purchasing one.
Flyin6:
For its size, this is one terrific machine.
73 horsepower Yanmar 4 cyl diesel engine and two hydraulic pumps!
This machine can run a thump and also a hammer or in my case a mulcher head as well as having hydraulics to maneuver and operate the boom/stick

What is their next size up Don?
Why do ya want a rubber track? All they do is wear out and rip as JR has figured.

We have one of these and every op loves it’s size and power and the ability to fit in lots of places our big stuff won’t, it’s a rubber track but maybe it’s just our guys that are hard on the tracks

We do have a hitatchi 80 that has a billion hours that’s been a good runner for years.

I believe it's a 95
80 is a 19,400 lb unit, so the 95 would be 22K-24K perhaps.
I wanted steel track, but that is 1. a special order and 2. Sany can't tell me when it would come in if ever.
