Kobelco SK135 excavator

[RAB__AR]

There is a used Kobelco SK135 excavator coming up in an auction near me shortly. I'm considering buying it to clear off 10 acres of mostly small timber and do some ditch maintenance this summer. Anyone have any experience with them good bad or otherwise? Its a 2001 with 2700 hours and a thumb attachement.

I don't know much about them really, I know they are owned by Fiat now but that's about it. They seem to be popping up pretty often on sites so they must be at least decent. I understand they are somewhat less expensive compared to Cat or Komatsu which dominate sites since Nortrax pulled out of NE AR.

I have also seen them pop up on sites a lot lately. Especially those new bladrunner style excavators. Sharp machines.
