FEL Quick Dump

I looked. This thing still brings low to mid 20's for a 4-5K hr. machine. Dang it. Would have to have more of a reason than "boy, would love to have one of these"

Mini/midi-excavators are bringing lots of $$ right now. When the economy crashed in 2008, sales of new construction equipment plummeted for a few years. That has created a shortage in late model used equipment. Now we have demand, but short supply.

Save your cash and buy one in the next downturn....because there will be one.

Yeah,
Mine is worth that much (to me, anyways) but I would be afraid to buy a used machine as I know my machine, quirks and all, but you never know what you are buying when it is that old. Mine had a Main pump failure with the previous owner, and some junk got in the Multi-function spools, That I managed to fix, as new valve is +$4,000. whew! Parts for these valves are precision hand lapped to fit, so you can't buy parts for the valve, just gaskets and seals.
