Hey everyone,
I’m planning to sell a couple pieces of heavy equipment soon and want to make sure they’re in top shape to get the best price. What kind of maintenance or prep work do you recommend before listing? I’ve done the basics like oil changes and filter replacements, but is there anything buyers really look for that I might miss? Do cosmetic fixes like touch-up paint or replacing seat covers make a difference? Would appreciate any tips from those who’ve sold gear recently!
 
Definitely clean the machine thoroughly, first impressions matter. Fix minor hydraulic leaks, replace worn decals, check tire/tracks, and run a diagnostic if it's computerized. Fresh service records and cosmetic touch-ups (like seat covers or paint) can actually boost buyer confidence and price.
