Looking to buy a used bulldozer and trying to figure out the most reliable sources. Dealers, auctions, or private sellers, what’s worked for you? Are there any tips for identifying issues before making a purchase?

I'm in the market for a used excavator and trying to figure out the best place to buy one without getting burned. I've looked at dealers, auctions, and private sellers, and each seems to have pros and cons. For those who've bought used: Are dealers worth the higher price? Any good experiences...

Quick question for those with more experience. I'm looking to service my excavator and want to make sure I'm using the correct hydraulic oil. I know it can depend on the brand, model, operating temps, and whether it's standard or bio oil, but I'm looking for general guidance before I order.

I'm doing some research and trying to get a realistic idea of what a Volvo EC750 excavator goes for in today's market. I know price can vary a lot based on hours, condition, year, attachments, and location, but I'm looking for ballpark figures so I can budget properly.

I am curious how the buyer picks up the equipment after winning the bid. Is it from the yard with a loading dock and a forklift or in a muddy field behind a barn? Please share what you know.

I know that some of you are also curious about the difference between an excavator and a trackhoe. Well, they are the same. Trackhoe is the slang name or a casual term.

Both are good, but I'd go for Samsara. Had a smooth service from them last year.

Wow! That is very detailed. I have a small motor grader for my private estate.

Ritchie Bros is better than Purple Wave because it is more transparent compared to Purple Wave. The limited inspection window in Purple Wave is already a red flag.

How true is it that Ritchie Bros really stands out for having a more helpful and knowledgeable staff compared to other auction platforms?

Yeah, it is necessary to ensure all our heavy equipment, but I don't have any idea if it is also possible not to insure the equipment when you operate your machine on your private property.

Well, I think everyone will be surprised that an excavator is all about swing radius and hydraulics and not just spinning in circles.

I want to know what is the safest machine to use in snow plowing. I saw someone in my neighborhood who got flipped when using a snowplow.

I have heard that some of the excavator operators earn a lot of money while working in the mining industry. Is it true?

Please respect my post. Does anyone here know the popular or top dealers for used excavators?

Some say that it is very straightforward to change the control pattern, but I am scared that I might break something. Could someone guide me?

Hmm.. Komatsu and Caterpillar are the most popular brands. Their auto parts are almost the same.

I took a wrong turn and panicked, and got stuck in the mud. What to do to get me unstuck?

We are still talking to their Customer Support about that, dude. I am sure that RBFS has a reliable shipping partner for heavy equipment.

All I can say is RB is transparent and helpful. I commend their Customer Support.
