So.. you said the hour meter says 1,000 hours... In that condition and for it's age.. maybe she's had a plush life?? And really has only 1,000 hours??? Way better shape than my mid '80s Mitsubishi 070!!!! My old girl apparently ran a hydraulic hammer in Japan.. then got shipped to the states, it spent a few years cleaning up an old auto wrecking yard at Gales Creek Oregon... I picked 'er up in the middle or late '90s... She was rode HARD!!! I work her pretty good, but she's a tired old girl!! Only got 6k on the meter. Little hammering and salt air in Japan didn't do it any good 😥 Wish I had a 28-30 thousand pound machine, instead of a 15,000... But.. takes money to upgrade! And she does fit in some smaller places 😎
Those linkage sticks.... That's why they put the door on the side and the slide up windshield... Lots of lever room on one side, a little extra on the other 😎
What a tight machine. No slop in the turn table even, impressive for the age.
my neighbor has about the same year deere 490. same shape just immaculate for its age. he still does little bits of work in his backyard with it
Thanks for another great piece of equipment! What kind of camera do you use?
Nice outro!
Correct me if I'm wrong but the uh16 was a 30 tone excavator
What was with the credits?
i have a john deere 490 and they look identical are they both the same
235 sized?
okay thanks for responding
what a hot shape... still vergine?
Gold mining isn't that pretty much a death sentence on a machine for when it comes to maintenance :(
the sumi I run has hitachi name plates all over it lol,
so my guess is it is a hitachi just with a difernt name

I wonder did she find gold?
Deere and Hitachi are the same machine,but size wise,obviosly not
not all loggers beat the shit of their gear.
Uh 016-7
