Hey guys! Looking at buying me a 15 or 16 ton class machine. Was looking for a cat 315c with under 4000 hours but that’s been near impossible to find. The Volvo excavators seem to be good machines and keep a lot of people happy. I know the EC160C is a solid proven machine but I havnt heard much about the pros and cons of the d series. I own a small clearing and grading company and I’m wanting to add a excavator to my fleet to accompany my cat 953b on clearing and grading jobs. It’s hard for me to find a Volvo c series with low hours as well. Found a 2013 EC160D that has 2400 hours on it and it seems to be in pretty good shape but I know it has the dpf and regeneration system on it. This same seller also has a 2015 ec140e with 2100 hours for nearly the same price.
- Are these models know to have any specific problems?
- is this a good reliable machine that I can do basic repairs on in house and work on?
Thanks!
