Doosan excavator sl75v

[liberty2701]

I have been looking a long time for an excavator to do work on my own land. I need steel tracks,thumb,blade and the 18klb class. I have been looking at Cat,Komatsu,JD and others. Every machine is either priced to0 high or too many hours or just a fraud. I came across this Doosan and it is from South Korea . They seem to be a huge corp. Been around a long time. I purchased a Kioti tractor (South Korea) and it has been flawless. Any input on this machine? I have two dealers for parts within 2hrs. Here is the listing. Price agreed to is $35k without the trailer
Thanks

That looks like a pretty nice machine and the money doesn稚 seem to bad for it. Looks like a more common brand, maybe they rebrand the one your looking at. If it was nice and tight I壇 go for it

Is it a gray market machine or one made for sale in the us?

Doosan is a very respected company worldwide!
Ask the two dealers about parts availability for THAT SPECIFIC machine.
If parts are READILY available......
Go For it !!!

 

[liberty2701]

Parts are available. I gave them the serial #.

The only downfall it seem's is that it's in CT. Price seem's right (a deal) after a quick Machinery Trader "look around" in the 12K-18K class.
You will love it! :thumbsup:

 

[liberty2701]

I got a quote of $1250 to deliver it.

 

[Rustyiron]

That won't hurt you! Have you seen it in person?

 

[liberty2701]

I have friend who is a Cat mechanic going to see it for me.

 

[Rustyiron]

Perfect.

I know a few folks operating Dosan machines and they are good.
They are also rebranded under other names.

 

[Snobdds]

It takes a lot of truck and trailer to move that around. Just keep that in mind, these machines are heavy *** pigs. But oh boy, do they work well.

My friend can not make it over to look at it. I called the local Doosan dealer. They will be sending a mechanic for a field inspection. I will not be able to be there. What questions should I be asking the mechanic over the phone? Or just let him do his thing.

Are you paying the dealer ? It looks good in the pic, low hours If all the pins are tight and no cracks on boom , frame. I would go look at it myself and run it

Yes. Probably will be $500. I think it is piece of mine being this is my first excavator.

 

[Peter 315]

Let him give you a report then if good, road trip

Isn't the machine in Connecticut?
Not that far from NH. to CT.
Just a day...round trip.

 

[liberty2701]

Free time is a luxury. if the report is good I will probably go down with the transporter.

I'd ask him to check it out as if HE were buying it. :thumbsup:

 

[liberty2701]

Here is the report. Looks good. The dealer told the seller that if i do not buy it he will. Once i get the machine I will be doing a full service. I figure Napa will have all the filters and fluids that I will need. I never serviced an excavator before but have been doing all of my own service for 25 years. I have the ability . Any suggestions as to what I should be doing or fluid types? I always buy service manuals for everything I own. I figured I should do the same for this? Forget the manual. Doosan just called me and quoted $600. He even said that is absurd.
