Oh WOW, so exciting and YOU'RE paying for it. I love this shopping and you paying the bill. I have no idea what you should buy and it all depends on your need and usage. That said, I WOULD NOT SKIMP on something you need in the machine because once you pull the trigger, your butt will work hard in that seat and anything you do without, you'll regret. You can always wait. We wish you the very best, in your end result and smart doing all your research. Good luck & God bless! Sonny (CT)

You can't help but think that Chris Guins would not have pointed out those same issues.

Komatsu is hands down best on the market. I own a small demolition company and we have tried them all. I like other brands but even with the premium Komatsu get for their product,you end up saving money in the long run because they hardly ever go down. I have a couple of cat next gen tractors ,they are really nice but I don’t see myself owning them once they are out of warranty. On the other hand I have one pc158 that I have put well over 7k hard hours on and only had to preform p/m and replaced one alternator. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps. P/s run away from JCB I have two and the unit’s are decent but the company’s policy’s suck. My JCB dealer is great but corporate keeps their hands tied.

@@DirtPerfect Recently the company I work for purchased a Kubota excavator to help with the types of work we're doing. What was thought to be a mini turned out to be a mid size with the big difference in weight class. The machine fits fine on our 12k lbs trailer but weights almost at the trailers ratings. So now we're looking for a 14k trailer and truck to move it legally without hassle from D.O.T , the only truck in the fleet that comes within reason is the f550 dump we have. The Kubota we got is very similar to your Volvo +/- a couple things ,ours doesn't have the on board computer but we have a 6way blade.

I think the Hyndaui suits you the best, no doubt if you like a machine you are going to take better care of it and if you take better care of it, it will last longer and give less trouble. If you are satisfied with the service and parts availability for the Hyndaui then the price difference probably won't make that much difference when you stretch it out over three to five years time. You may be able to do your jobs faster and better which might mean you get more jobs to do and you can double up on the payments some months or at least pay on the principal a few times and get it paid for a little quicker which will make your credit look good. I would go get that Hyndaui if I were you. Good luck and keep the videos coming, I like watching you work all the machinery.

that hyundai looks pretty close to our Case cx160c the way its layed out. One thing i like to look for is how the tracks react when operating other functions. the type of work im involved in we use the machine more as a crane than for actually digging. The 145 we rented for a month was terrible at that but they might have addressed it by now

I have the Komatsu 138 with a blade , it’s built a lot like the Hyundai. With the zero tail swing if you’re on any bit of a slope your tip the machine up without the blade. I do a lot of retaining walls and setting binblocks you have to have a blade , you need to demo that excavator on a little bit of a slope by the time you put a thumb on and bucket you’ll regret not having a blade. Good luck but I would keep that in the consideration with a zero tail machine. God bless and happy new year

Very impressed with the lay out of the Hyundai. The only downside is that computer location right under the DEF. It would need some kind of cover over the top of it. Wouldn't want to enclose it since it needs airflow for cooling. The thumb on that Volvo sucks. That thing wouldn't last a month in rock. You can fab extensions for the blade to make it work, but the thumb needs to go in the scrap bin.

I love my Hyundai mini 35 series and my buddy has a 80 and 160. All three amazing machines for us. Like you stated they are really engineered strong and easy to work on. My dealer support is amazing. I called for a filter kit on my first service. They are 45 minutes away and had an employee that lives in my town drop it off the same night. Dealer support is key. Also in the numbers game they beat others by far. Others offer 0% financing but are 5% more on total price. There is a 2016 Hyundai HX145 LCR with 1285 hrs on it in Orland Park Illinois for $110,000 with WB thumb and quick coupler. Much cheaper then the new one you looked at. Just some food for thought.

I don't know if it was the camera, but I'd go with the Hyundai or the Linkbelt just because they sounded much quieter than the Volvo. As for the worn pins, I would bet money on it either having a lot of hours with a vibrator packer or a jackhammer attached to it. As both of those would wear parts out much faster than other attachments. Is the zero swing a must? I would think the easier maintenance and lower transport height of a regular machine would out weight the benefits of the zero swing.

I don't know much about the newer Perkins engines with the emissions but my older Cat skid steer and some of our other equipment had them and they were great on fuel and lasted forever! They're basically The European version of a Cummins.

@@DirtPerfect Ya on my 2001 cat 262 skid steer with a Perkins and it had like a 15 gallon tank and I could run it for 2 days on one tank, then I rented a new 262D cat skid steer with the Kubota engine and it had like a 35 gallon tank and I'd have to fill it every day and it was always giving me emissions problems.

I can't speak bout excavators, but before I retired, the WVDOH bought some Hyundai loaders,. My biggest complaint about the loaders was there wasn't enough hydraulic power to do two functions at once. You could either raise the bucket or turn the machine, bit not both at the same time. Just my 2 cents.

If you Purchased the Hyundai you could use the air bag adjusters to lower the air bags on your trailer 2 inches so you'd be legal.

I've been researching Excavators and talking to owners for years, I am still confused as to which ones are in the top 5, its more about initial price, ease of use and maintenance plus parts availability at a reasonable price, and critical is how long the things gonna last.

Service and parts availability is one of the top factors we always consider when buying a new hoe. If we can’t get a service tech out when we need one or we have to wait for several days to get a part shipped in … That’s obviously a major factor in our decision to buy new … because as most of us know , if you have a $300,000+ piece of equipment sitting broke down for a few days waiting on parts !!! That’s a major problem. We need these things up and running so they can continue to make the money that pays for themselves.

I can tell you like that last Hunday but no thumb and no blade ? Or were you going to add that on ? Never had a blade but can't do without the thumb , like the idea you're man enough to drive the van , my daily driver is a 99 Pontiac Grand Am !! Gets me there and gets 25 mpg !!! Get the pick up out when I need to haul or tow something , catch a little greif about it but I laugh at the pump !!! Splurged on a side by side to get around the farms and goes where a pickup won't and hauls 90% of what I need most of the time !! Keep us informed thanks for the video !

What about the push blade on what your looking at? Do you prefer having a push blade? Thanks for the road trip! It's a lot better on this end... pause and hit the head, get some coffee and let the dog out and in and finish the road trip. Thanks Mike! I know you'll have to discuss things with the real boss, but good luck with your decision.

You drove right past me and and didn't stop by for coffee?! I agree the Hyundai looks sweet but how much would you really use the display? Will narrow tracks take away from what you do now? Would the blade on the 140 give you a worthy upgrade in stability and capabilities? They must have done a lot of side sweeping to wear the pins that fast. In short, don't let the bling distract you from what you really need. I don't envy you. It seems that with anything you look to get you can't get all the features you want in one machine or brand albeit an excavator, a GPS, or even a watch. In the meantime you could give the Captain a shovel and strap a saddle on his back. Voice control, good visibility, easy to transport, and music if his singing isn't too bad. Cold starting might be an issue with coffee being more expensive than ether, nowadays.

Hey man. Just found your channel. We bought our first Hyundai 300 this year and I’ve always been a Volvo cat guy. I will say we will continue to buy the Hyundai’s. There’s a lot of stereotypes for them.

I’m glad that you made the choice that you did with the Volvo. I particularly found that death tape thing in the Hyundai a little alarming. Because those computer units are not cheap to replace. Now they’re a little easier on you than say cat or bobcat equipment, but $579 to me is nothing to sneeze at
