- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
I closed a deal on a brand new SANY SY50U 5 metric ton excavator!
It just arrived from the left coast, and they're setting it up at the dealer over the next week.
It is step up from the mini class, due to it's weight, etc. But it is essentially the same general zero turn design as most minis. I think it is referred to as a standard size...
It has a Yanmar diesel engine and Kawasaki pumps, along with a 5 year, 5000 hour warranty. And a cab with heat, AC, and Bluetooth with radio. It has regen, no DEF, three joysticks, left, right and blade. All hydraulically driven implements, tilt bucket, etc., are programmed for ideal flow and engine RPMs via the onboard computer. Joysticks, hydraulics, (DIN or SAE) can be chosen based on operator preference. The cab is compact, and does not sport a suspension seat; though I know at least one guy who has retrofitted his machine to accommodate one.
The dealer will deliver it to my location, AND do warranty repairs on site, at my location, no charge for transportation, etc.
It is 39 HP, has rubber tracks; and I bought a 24" GRYB digging bucket and a 36" GRYB tilt ditching bucket, and a GRYB ripper tooth, all of which will hook to the stick's GRYB pin grab hydraulic coupling mechanism. The GRYB items are warrantied 2 years, and are out of Canada.
It has 2 stick mounted auxiliary hydraulic lines, one is high flow the other runs the thumb; also a GRYB, shared pin with the bucket, welded bracket for the cylinder on the stick's underside.
The 50U sports the secondary auxiliary lines from the factory.
I'm getting a Brush Wolf brand 42"- 4200HD brush mower with side curtain chains. It will run off the high flow auxiliary ports, and so will the tilt bucket. It can cut up to 4" saplings and sports a new piston driven hydraulic motor. They've been making these type mowers for 20 years. I may get a forestry mulching head too, eventually, but I want to try this deck first and see if it meets my needs...
So I can use all my implements from my Kioti DK-40HE, HST tractor, I'm buying a GRYB skidsteer adapter plate that will allow me to connect all my tractor implements. Those using hydraulics will use Pioneer ball end couplers for the low flow aux hydraulics. So, two male fittings going to two female QD's on the excavator stick. This allows me to use existing fittings on my HLA 2000 Snowplow, and my Igland log grapple. So, no confusion, because the high flow fittings, which attach to the Sany will all sport flat faced couplers. The only tractor attachment going to the Sany that will use the high flow circuit is my tree shear. (It was really designed to operate on a high flow skidsteer, not the low flow hydraulic capacity of my Kioti tractor). It works on the tractor, but it is slower than I would like it to operate, open/close -function.
The Sany comes with a blade, but does not do 4 or 6 way functions.
The skidsteer adapter plate from GRYB will allow for my existing implements to be used on either the Sany or my Kioti tractor, with the likely chosen exception of my tree shear.
So my pallet forks, my 72" loader bucket, and the others already mentioned will be used as best suited to the 'tool' and job requirements.
I lucked out- the Sany 50 was one of three that arrived at my dealer's store while I was shopping for the Sany unit. They had three 50's arrive last week.
The dealer's a Vermont family owned business in St. Albans. They are CCR Sales and Service and they have EVERYTHING I already own, and a bunch of toys I've yet to find time to play with!
A partial list of items they sell in addition to Sany, is Kioti and Mahindra tractors, Cub Cadet mowers, Stihl chainsaws, and the list goes on.
I worked with Casey, the owner, and Jake, one of their very knowledgeable Sany sales people.
I did a TON of research on mini excavators before buying, and they answered all my questions and really put effort into getting me the right machine for my needs.
I'm excited to get the machine and put it to use, ASAP!
All for now.
Cheers,
CM
-BTW, I've heard that Sany has been able to keep their pricing lower than their competitors by owning their own steel for machine manufacture, and they have a new huge plant making their big machines right in Peachtree, GA., USA.
