Mini Excavators: How Many Hours Is Too Many?

Hours are the single most misread number in used mini excavators. High hours on a serviced machine beat low hours on a neglected one.

The short version

  • A serviced machine at high hours often outlasts a neglected one at low hours.
  • Duty cycle matters: quarry work and light site work wear very differently.
  • Ask what was replaced and when, not just the total on the clock.
  • Unverifiable hours should be described as unverifiable — we do.
