Hello,
I am in the market for a mini excavator and I saw this 07' KOMATSU PC78MR-6.
My main concern is the amount of hours it has on it, to be exact its meter is clocked in at 9,145 hours. Now, this is the first mini excavator I will own and forgive me for my lack of subject-matter knowledge.
With that being said, I know that you could have a 1200 hour machine and treat it like crap and it will function like it has been used for 5000 hours.
This is what the guy has listed:
"The Drivetrain system is fully operational and in very good condition 2 speed.
Works smooth in forward and reverse.
Drive Motors Operational ✔
Final Drives Operational ✔
All main components are in place and operational
Boom Condition Operational ✔
Stick Condition Operational ✔
Swing Tower Operational ✔
Boom Base Pin and Bushings Operational ✔
Pin and Bushings Boom to Stick Operational ✔
Pin and Bushings Stick to Bucket Operational ✔
Turn-Table Bearing Operational ✔
Bottom Covers Operational ✔
Roller Frames Operational ✔
Excavator Bucket and Teeth Operational ✔
Blade Condition Operational ✔"
As of now I have not gone to see it yet. If I do, are there any questions or things to look out for that I should ask him? Also, is 9k Hours alot for this model?
Thank You In Advance,
Regards
