  • Farm drainage & earthworks — drainage systems, water storage ponds, farm road construction, and land clearing on large rural properties
  • Demolition — breaking up concrete structures, removing foundations, and site clearance; hydraulic breaker attachments available for most excavator sizes
  • Mining & quarrying — large excavators like the Cat 320 are standard equipment on quarry and mining operations globally

What to Check Before Buying a Used Excavator

Component What to Check
Undercarriage Tracks, rollers, idlers, and sprockets — the most expensive wear component; check pad thickness and play
Hydraulic cylinders No leaks at rod seals on boom, arm, and bucket cylinders — cylinder replacement is costly
Boom & arm pins Check for excessive play — worn pins indicate heavy use and affect dig accuracy
Swing bearing Check for play in the house rotation — worn swing bearing is an expensive repair on larger machines
Engine Clean cold start, stable idle, no smoke — check coolant and oil condition
Hours vs condition Always request service history — a maintained 5,000-hour machine beats a neglected 2,000-hour unit

All Farmers Equipment units inspected before listing. Startup video, inspection checklist, and service history available on request.
