Just wondering if anyone has a Hyundai excavator? My friend just bought one at Conex through a dealer, he bought a brand new 290 which is around the same size as a Komatsu 300. The price was over $100k less for the same size machine, and Hyundai's warranty was 3 years vs Komatsu's 1 year warranty.
For what he paid for almost a 35 ton machine, is the same price as some guys are paying for new Cat 312CL's. Its just interesting how brand name can be worth $100k more. The Hyundai has Kawasaki hydraulics, Cummins motors and cat undercarriages i believe.
I don't know if its just me, but when is it worth it to switch brands, even if you're a loyal customer?
