I’ve used a few different platforms over the years, and honestly both Boom & Bucket and IronPlanet have been the most reliable for me. Boom & Bucket makes the process feel less stressful with detailed inspections and good customer support, while IronPlanet has a huge selection and solid buyer...

I recently found a really solid deal on a low-hour excavator on Boom & Bucket. What I liked most was how clear the inspection details and photos were, which made comparing machines much easier. Their listings usually feel transparent and well organized, so it’s a good place to keep an eye out...

Shut the machine down completely and release all hydraulic pressure first. Use only dry nitrogen with a charging kit to check and adjust the accumulator pressure, then recheck for leaks after charging.

I’m looking for a Sumitomo S280F2 hydraulic diagram or hydraulic pump manual in PDF format. If anyone has a copy or knows where I can download it, please share. Thanks!

My experience browsing listings on Boom & Bucket⁠� was pretty smooth overall. The equipment details and photos were clear, and I liked how easy it was to compare different machines in one place. The platform feels organized and helpful for anyone researching heavy equipment options.

These machines don’t come cheap—last I checked, a new Volvo EC750 can cost around $600,000 or more depending on specs and region. Definitely a serious investment!

That says it all—Ritchie Bros. truly dominates the equipment space. Their global reach and reputation make them the go-to for serious buyers and sellers.

Both choices have their upsides, but from my experience, Ritchie Bros tends to offer better deals and clearer info. Definitely worth a quick look before you decide.
