New midsize Sany75

The problem with buying machines like this from a place like Kitsap Equipment is how long are they going to be a dealer? They have sold many different brands through the years and give no support at all down the road. I know, I have a customer who bought a Yuchai from them. And just because these machines have "common" brand name components does not mean you can buy them locally. Name brand companies often build components for various equipment companies that are proprietary, meaning you have to purchase the component from that specific equipment company.

We have a hitachi 100-2 (JD590) that gets like that once in a while if I'm trying to do finish work... I usually just attribute it to the wear on the pins we have. Had the lower boom line bored and I think it made it a little better but it will still get into the rhythm now and then unfortunately. Could also be a pressure sensor getting finicky or something along those lines.

We also have been looking into getting a sany just because of the components they use to put em' together with and some others we know that have used them like the machine.

If I remember right an EX100-2 is a Deere 190. I know it's not a 590.

So true. On that note I am dealing with the factory directly now .
