![[Brand New] Hitachi ZX300-7 & 2x Mercedes Kipper, Heilbronn, 2023. #1 #hitachizx300 #hitachi](/img/n.gif)
I work for one of my best friends and he has a Hitachi ex160lc and a hitachi zaxis160lc with a Craig quick connect with a clean up bucket. And he's also got an older ex100 Hitachi and those 3 machines have been such good machines. The ex160 has 28000 hours and the only major issues have been the shafts that drive the planetary gears in the final drives needed to be replaced and planetary basket and gear set on the swing motor needed to be replaced. It's still running on the factory engine and hydraulic pump which neither have been opened up. And this machine has been very very well use. Oh and the undercarriage has been rebuilt once. And some welding on the booms. Hitachi makes very durable quality machines.
Great video can u do a tour of all your gear
Go for the gold. Engon and trimble complete machine control. Makes any excavator good?
You should try a Kobelco ED160. It is actually a 135 upper on a 200 lower to handle the 6 way dozer blade. I have one and like it alot.
You know what Chris would tell you to try!!!
I tried a volvo 160. Video coming soon!
Best digger you’ll get. We have two 130’s. They are absolutely flawless machines and so easy to grade ( we have no GPS) and really eco on fuel.
Would 100% recommend this digger.
Komatsu and hitachi are my favorite.
A good operator and you don't need fancy shit!
Good video sir, and nice work.👍so are you guys getting any amount of snow yet.?
Its a great machine.👍
good machines from what i hear, not much problems. but parts cost a shitload when they do break.
Every brand of equipment is expensive to get parts for. That’s their profit center.
What pattern do you use on your joysticks
I run Deere controls. Its what I grew up and learned on
A contractor we deal with got rid of a Cat 320 and got a Hitachi 200. Employees liked it so much the owner bought a second Hitachi 200.
However they kept a Cat 345C. They do land clearing ,rough grade and final grade.
good info thanks!
345C have the C13 in it right?. some mates have one of those. mostly engine problems on it i think. cat was not lucky with those engines.
Didn't you end up getting the 316? Do you have a strong Volvo dealer where you are? If I remember right didn't you run Chris' Volvo? or have you? I can't remember.
Yes we ended up with a 316F. I tried a Volvo 160, videos of that are coming up!
Is this video before you bought your new excavator? I hear you mention your looking to get a 160 sized machine
yes this is from this past summer. We ended up with a Cat 316F
Tom, are you going to keep and re-sell/use the boulders from that site?
no. We buried them to generate good fill. We have more rocks here than we know what to do with. They are not worth anything
And how do like this Hitachi 160lc .
Not a bad machine but not my favorite that we tried out
The Hitachies are good machines but I feel the cab is smaller than a Volvo or on a Cat. Only my 2cents
Yea there wasnt anything special about the cab.
Try a volvo 160cl
Is the thumb still useable?
not with the gracing bucket on
Do you still have the Deere 200 lc
Yes we still have it
CHECK OUT THE DOOSANS, YOU SHOULD STOP INTO OUR NEW BUILDING EQUIPMENT EAST 1474 RTE. 3A BOW NH LOCATED BETWEEN RIVER RD. AND THE PETERBILT DEALER!
Try out a Volvo 160
Did you not own that 316
We do. That is the machine we ended up buying.
As rocky as the soil is where you live, I wonder if some type of soil sifter or grizzly bar box would make a good investment for you. Seems to be that you spend a lot of time having to pop rocks out when you are grading. Then you are left with what to do with all the rocks? bury them or sell them or something else?
We usually bury the rocks and generate good fill. But we are actually looking into grizzly bars for this next year
@@DirtNinja How bout the sifter bucket that Engcon sells?
Try a skeleton bucket, I have 3 of them and they work great in our NH soil!
@@bobshappell3502 I completely forgot those exist when I made my comment. That is a good idea with him already having the quick attach coupler, plus it saves space and probably is easier to move around that a grizzly bar box. I don't know, we don't have to deal with rocks the same way where I live.
Will you test Liebherr excevator? Do you even have Liebherr in US? We in Europe have a lot of them and there is reason for that because its one of best brands you can buy. If you are serching for 16 ton class machine, mayby try some whelled excevator? it has a lot of benefits and and it perfectly fill gap between excevator and loader but its not tlb its a lot better than it.
Liebherr excavators are not seen much here in the US. The reason why is because if for some reason they need to be serviced there are not too many places that have the knowledge and the know-how to fix them. I have seen a few though at different construction sites, but the appearance is very rare. As far as ratios are concerned there is about 15 Catapillars to 1 Liebherr.
Alex Williamson's blind adventures Good to know, how is it with whelled excevators do you have any in US?
@@wiktorlol9800 Those are even more rare. I would say for every 40 track excavators there might be 1 wheeled. I can see the advantage to a wheeled excavator, but they just haven't caught on here yet.
Wheeled excavator would be good for driving off a high cliff. I cant even imagine using one in types of soil/and non stop boulders we excavate in southern new England. Someday we will get some videos up. Blows my mind. The soils these guys. And letsdig. Are in compared to new England boulders
Liebherr never did to well over here. Terrible parts department. They do well with there crane sales in the us. There old wheel loaders were good. But the last 5 yrs loaders are total junk. Cant keep a transmission in them. And they wont back the dealer or owners up. So the few dealors left are getting rid of there product and switching to other brands
Opt for the Hitachi. That motor is better than Deere's. Good machine.
