[clintm]

anybody run one or own one? any thoughts or comments

 

[JGibson]

Best hoes on the market, good power, smooth, reliable, and good on fuel

 

[mxsledder]

I'm also curious about these machines... Has anyone used one for demolition or an other severe duty application?

What model Sumitomo is this{if it is a Sumitomo)

anybody run one or own one? any thoughts or comments

Does anyone know of a cross reference between Sumitomo/Case and link Belt 20 tonne excavators?

 

[clintm]

I think this what your asking. a case 9030 is a linkbelt LS2800CII, a case 9030B -linkbelt LS2800 Quantum, the 210 is both the same

Sumitomo SH200-5 = CX210 = 210LX

 

[firetrack]

Final Drive,
Do you know what a Sumitomo SH200A1 equals in Case? Would it be 9020B?
Thanks

I worked for a Case dealer we also sold Link belt. I really liked link belts. Their support was a little better than case. We also sold kobelco and I think LBX and case was just as good.

 

[clintm]

what part of NC are you in and what case dealer did you work for

You must be looking at the X3? They are sweet machines. All my stuff is smaller and I tend to prefer the Lx's to the X2's and 3's. It is getting impossible to find a low hour Lx. I don't know what you are running now but I have never had a major mechanical on either of mine and one has 9000 hours and the other 6000.

Good Luck, I will be following to see what you end up with.

I originally worked for the Case dealer in my home state of Ky. I am in clayton just south east of Raleigh.

For sure NOT 9020B
I'll have to check some part numbers to validate, but the 9030 is the right weight class.

signed the paper's friday on CX350C case with craig bucket,progressive link thumb and coupler. machine should be delivered first of week. 4-5 weeks on attachments from craig that will give me time to built the guarding and trim the track pads down

 

[JGibson]

sounds sick! We need pics when it comes!

 

[clintm]

Clintm, Have to ask what the reason is for cutting the pads down?

 

[clintm]

It will be on a concrete pile/ recycling yard and don't need the flotation. the wide pad's reek havoc on the rails from climbing on the hard uneven surface. just like you wouldn't use an LGP dozer in a rock ripping application
