Comparing New vs. Used Heavy Equipment: SANY SY35U vs. Bobcat 331 Mini Excavator

[@smartin3675]

Great video. My Sany 35 has been flawless for 2 years now and has done an incredible amount of work around our farm and surrounding area. For a novice operator like me, it did everything asked of it. Land clearing, stump pulling, basement excavation, utility trenching and on and on. 5 Year warranty and purchase cost savings were key purchase factors. New Sany was the better deal with the peace of mind warranty. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

This is so awesome, Steve! I’m so happy you have had such a great experience with your SANY and have been able to do so much with it on your farm and in your community. It’s always great to hear customer testimonials and what different owner/operators feel about their machines! Really appreciate your comment and following along!

i knew nothing about excavators until watching this video but i feel like i learned a lot. i'm not even interested in buying one, but this was a very entertaining and informative video and seriously well put together!

[@NewmanTractor]

Thank you so much! That is such a cool comment, man 🙏🏼 we make videos to help people learn more about the dirt world whether they’re in the industry or not, and the fact that you are giving it the thumbs up is so awesome!! Would love to know your favorite part!

This is interesting because I just sold my Sany SY35U and bought a 331 at auction. Obviosuly hard to compare old to new but the Sany was a disappointment. Glad to have the old 331 tank I like old school equipment.

Love my sany 60! Underrated!

[@NewmanTractor]

We couldn't agree more Ken! Spread the word and thanks for watching!

Wish you can test XCMG excavator

Those old bobcats had leaky hoses like crazy. Try to not buy one of those. I found that out with mine.

[@LaelplayzYT]

My grandpa owns a 1997 bobcat x331 and it is a really nice, and I’m the one that runs it and I’m 12 years old.

[@NewmanTractor]

Sounds like you are learning young! Keep on keepin on friend!

Bobcat ou sany na sua opinião?

[@bradkaberline5828]

New a guy that had a Bobcat 331 good machine but the new kabouta and bobcat same machine different colors sometimes with options of different motors

[@tp8030]

Yeah, but how reliable are the Sanys? I hear they are cheap junk??

[@antpoo]

Yeah hear wrong

[@jacobbelfield9835]

I’ve talked to a few guys and they aren’t having many problems. Hydraulic lines, etc

[@tp8030]

Cat rules

[@tp8030]

@stevenlaing6168 they use to. They've been surpassed by Volvo and komatsu.

[@chrisyohn7054]

Sany had 20 years to improve on the bobcat 331 and they didn’t get very far.

[@robertd6925]

Dude did you not hear him? Bobcat 40hp. Sany 23hp. Of course it's going to slightly better performance. Until a hydraulic valve goes out. At a cost of hundreds or thousands. And everything else that will start nickel and diming you to death.
