A kobelco sk140sr just popped up for sale locally its a 2014 model 3700 hours looks good but has no thumb. It is priced at $60k.
Are these good machines if maintained properly? Also is there a company that sells aux hyd add on kits and hyd thumbs so i can get a quote on adding that. Only other comparable machine locally both are about 2 hrs away is a 2019 case 145sr with 5k hours for $65k looks a little more scratched up but has hyd thumb and blade on it.
Will check out both machines this week but the case is newer but more hours with more options might be the winner? Im sure to add a hyd thumb from kobelco is probably close to 20k.
I have dealer support for both 20mins away. But my tractor dealership can also get construction parts which is the same distance away the opposite way but rather them for traffic reason.
Would yall say both machines can handle the same type of jobs? Cleaning tree lines around fields. Few big trees that will have to be cut up once they are knocked down to be able to move and ditch digging and about a acre pond my uncle wants dug.
