    Shindaiwa is the bomb. Once you use one you'll throw rocks at everything else.

    Volvo Excavators

    I have spent some time on a 210 and a 160. Both were smooth, quiet, and decent on fuel. That being said, they were both slow as christmas and I hated every minute I spent on one. They are not an operator's machine in my opinion.

    If not CAT who then? Are JCB Excavators good?

    I had a daewoo/doosan 180 on rent for a couple months. It was quiet, smooth, efficient, but seemed a little puny compared to the hitachis I am used to. I think the terex machines are exactly the same as a doosan. I had no complaints.

    If not CAT who then? Are JCB Excavators good?

    JCB, Case, and Linkbelt are all the same machine. They are all manufactured by sumitomo with only minor variances between the three.

    komatsu reviews

    I have almost no experience with komatsu machinery, but i am seriously looking at an 07 pc 158 and a d41. How does a komatsu stack up against a comparable hitachi/deere? Fuel consumption? power? speed? lifting power?

    Good bye to large New Holland Construction equipment

    You can rest assured that if fiat is associated with it, it is a piece of junk. I'd rather have the korean made stuff than a fiat. I'm wish they would have left the case backhoes alone.

    repairing final drive case

    Is the place you found that makes the substandard parts in India. i found a place called the "new indo trading company" that makes all these parts. I have been leery of trying them. Are you familiar with them?
