These sell for $18-20k (sometimes higher if two buyers get into a silly bidding war) in our area. Ive come so close to buying, especially since its already plummed with a diverter valve and adding a hydraulic cylinder for the thumb and welding some upper brackets on the boom would be quite simple. Nice machine for a 3 ton.

What's the HP rating on the motor and what's the machine weight?

That rock certainly has some gravity to it.

I wonder this stacks up against the Sany sy16c? I like the expandable tracks that the Sany has. Adds a lot more stability.

How well does the swing boom work? How do you actuate it?

How does this compare to the AGT NT-45 powerwise with Kubota engine and US made Chrystal hydraulics..I saw a comparison vid u had but all u mentioned was the NT-45 was bare bones. I don’t need AC or a shit stereo. Fit and finish I don’t care. I care about power plant and Hydraulics. Guy down the street has one so I’m interested.

Hello RP Are you going to do a video on the STE36SR ?

I sold the ste35sr, the ku45 is more capable, It can lift more and is more powerful. The ste35sr has a better fit and finish but smaller

Thanks for responding. Did you get work the 35, if so, your thoughts.

This is very helpful intel. I was considering the 35sr, but would rather have a little more power and weight on the machine. Agree the f&f isnt as nice on the 45ku and i dont like the exterior routing of the hydraulic cables on the boom. Both are very capable machines 👌

If you are a homeowner just rent a good one when you need it, personally I’m not handing over my 🇺🇸$$$ 2🇨🇳😆

In effect you are. Since we no longer make equipment here, whatever machine you rent was made in China & the rental company bought it. You're simply paying a middle man to send your money to China. Personally, I'd rather pay myself to do the legwork than a middle man. I respect we each have our own way of viewing things🙂

Thanks for sharing. Bought mine sight-unseen from Richie Bros...got lucky. $18,500+ fees. Loving it so far. It's done everything I ask it to do. I actually don't mind the manual thumb.

You paid the right amount. Some of those auctions get crazy and people over pay. Ive only ever see one go lower than $18k and it was a year ago at a startup auction house. Congrats I am jealous 💪

Great video, though I can't imagine having a fixed position thumb. You mentioned how much you need for a machine that gets jobs done and a hydraulic thumb goes a long way in achieving high rates of productivity in my mind. Here are a few of examples of how vital they are in getting work done in the type of mini excavator projects I usually do. kzitem.info/news/bejne/w6-ByniFkJV-lYo kzitem.info/news/bejne/05-l0YaVbl90i5g kzitem.info/news/bejne/14KqxaSvin-nrKA

You can buy direct-from-factory if you want to save a few thousand and deal with customs/shipping. As someone who did that, I don't advise it - language barrier/time zone make it a pita. My two yr old machine has cylinders that are already rusting. Everything is built cheaply, but with standard off-the-shelf parts, repairing is pretty simple. But when people say they are 'comparable' to name-brand machines, that's only on the most basic/superficial levels. The hydraulic controls aren't as precise. The turntable has slop right off the factory floor. Fit and finish is a joke. But if you're a homeowner/rancher or a small business that only has limited light duty use, these can work. These are NOT 'comparable' to a name brand for durability - you're not going to get thousands of hours from them. They are the Yugos of the excavator world. Cheap/disposable.
