Wow. This was so empty and generalized, the best bit of advice you gave was: “go talk to someone else that actually knows about this topic”! What was the point of this video? “Know your budget.” Oh really!? Oh shit! I didn’t realize I should know how much money I have to spend!!! My god! Good thing I clicked on this video or I would’ve thought excavators were FREE!🙄

Sorry to hear this video didn't answer the questions you had! This video was more to focus on the areas to physically inspect when purchasing a second hand machine, but we do have another video coming up in the near future about the different things you should consider before purchasing, such as determining power and performance, or the digging depth and reach that you require! Hopefully that video is more geared to what you're after!
