The Hitachi EX100 has 5595 hours. There were 4981.6 hrs on the hobbs when we bought it. There are two buckets. It has a 52” wide smooth blade clean out “muck” bucket, and then it has a 40” wide dig bucket. It has a quick disconnect system for the buckets. I have extremely accurate maintenance records showing over $48,000 in maintenance over the last 2 years we’ve owned it. These records are available upon request. This 48 thousand dollars is on top of the original purchase price. As far as the machines history. It ran really well when we first bought it, but soon after it started to show some signs. Since then we’ve re-built much of the machine. Very low hours on the rebuilt portions. *Batteries *Fuel pump *$4000 in new Hydraulic lines *$830 in engine heaters *$9,000+ in new Hydraulic pump *$9,000 in rebuilding tracks *New Hydraulic control computer *New Hydraulic solenoid valves *Brand new main computer *New misc sensors *Replaced sensor angle and valve *$3,000 in replacing both main idlers, shims, re-building chassis frame rails and several small idlers and track adjustment *Recent new teeth and work to dig bucket. This only accounts for a small portion of our $48 grand in maintenance/rebuilding/repair. Needless to say, much of this machine has been re-built, and meticulously maintained. As far as why it's for sale, we rarely do in house work. So the machinery is sitting around eating up yard space and insurance. Call and take a look.
