1. Research:

Before you start looking for a used Excavator, do your research. Look for the different models, brands, and sizes available. Check the prices, features, and specifications to get an idea of what you want and what fits your budget. Is the machine large enough to get your job done? Check that the machine is the right size to haul with your trailer.




2. Inspect:  

When you find a used Excavator that you are interested in, inspect it thoroughly before making any final decision. Check the engine, hydraulics, the undercarriage, and other components. Look for any signs of engine wear, hydraulic leaks, cylinder leaks or damage. If you are not familiar with Excavators have someone who knows these machines, come with you. If you cannot inspect the machine in person, hire a professional to go and look at the machine for you.

3. Test: 

Test the Excavator to see how it performs. Operate the controls to make sure they work smoothly and effectively. Move the excavator around and check the pins on the machine. Test the hydraulics to make sure they are strong enough to handle your workload.

4. Check the Service History: 

Ask the seller for the service history of the Excavator. This will give you an idea of how well it has been maintained and any issues it may have had in the past. A well-maintained Excavator is more likely to be reliable and have a longer lifespan.

5. Price Negotiation:  

Once you have inspected the Excavator, tested it, and reviewed the service history, it's time to negotiate the price. If there are any issues with the Excavator, speak to the seller about your concerns. Be fair in your negotiations and offer a reasonable amount on the machine.
