I read somewhere that all the welds are hand welded, one weld was so bad you could stick a needle through a hole on the weld!

I wounder how much they cost compared to cat? I'm guessing at 2000 hours they would be junk!!

 

[iceberg210]

That is some of the most blantant copying I've ever seen. They didn't even care enough to change the look of the cab!! Boy inovation, yours until someone gets a hold of it and copies it for a lower price!

Not only a copy Cat, but a copy Komatsu dozer as well.

SD7P, which, in their own words, is directly interchangeable with a D-85 Komatsu

I was wondering if they were refurbushed too. Also they had prices in the "Construction Equipment" magizine too.

Yeah well for all we know Cat might have allowed them to copy the machines at taken a large $$'$$$'$$$ Dividend.

looking at the website, the pictures at the factory do look more like a refurb shop than an assembly line. A bunch of machines outside in all different states of paint, color and decals. I would think they were new though.

There seems to be some confusion here. The machines are built by Changlin and HBXG, not Sino. Sino is the dealer for them, not the owner of the company or manufacturer.

Old saying goes, you get what you pay for. If these machines do make it here there are some that will try them. But then comes the question of parts. In theory you could go to the cat dealer for uc parts. Until they ask your for a sn that is. I dont see these being sold for very long, cats patent atts. are gonna put an end to it if they can
