Working hours

Check the hour meter against the age of the machine and ask for a photo or video of the meter.

Undercarriage

Look at track shoes, rollers, sprockets and idlers. Heavy wear here is expensive to fix.

Hydraulics

Ask for photos of cylinders, hoses and the boom and arm joints, and look for oil leaks.

Engine and cabin

Ask for a video of a cold start and the machine working. Check the A/C, controls and monitor.

Bucket and attachments

Check bucket teeth, pins and bushings, and ask whether breaker lines or a quick coupler are fitted.

Records

Ask for service history and the serial number so we can verify the model and year.
