Spent some time on the Cat 950. It managed various tasks easily, showing its versatility. The dashboard touch display helped monitor ongoing operations smoothly. However, sound suppression in the cab could be better. The updated lock-up clutch transmission contributed to noticeable fuel savings.

I've used the Caterpillar M318 a few times, and overall, it's a solid machine. The articulated design lets you move efficiently, which is a big plus. The 140 HP engine does a good job powering through tasks. It's got a comfortable enclosed cab with working A/C, which is really appreciated on warmer days. However, the size of the machine means it’s not always ideal for tighter spots. But the hydraulic functions are strong and responsive, which compensates. The 21 mph speed is decent when moving between sites, saving some time.

Been on the L180 High Lift for a couple seasons now, mostly handling timber at the yard. The new boom design makes stacking logs higher pretty manageable, especially when space is tight-saved us from running outta room more than once. Cab feels bigger than what I was used to, a lot less noise and way better visibility. Joystick controls are easy to pick up. Maybe too many gadgets at first, but you settle in quick.

Full auto trans is cool but sometimes picks a weird gear if you push it, but not a dealbreaker. Haven't had any serious downtime, but regular checks are a must 'cause there are plenty of moving parts. Noticed fuel use is steady, even pulling heavy shifts. Suspension on the boom takes out most of the shocks. Could do with simpler menus for the settings though. Overall, does what I need, just wish tech was a bit less fiddly sometimes.

Aerial platform Haulotte Compact 12
2005 Year
4.0 Price
5.0 Reliability
4.0 Maintenance
5.0 Operation
4.0 Convenience
I've used the Haulotte Compact 12 for various height-related tasks, and here’s my take based on its operation. The compact size truly does make maneuvering easier in tight spots, especially indoors. The weight capacity is adequate for most applications, but you’ve got to keep an eye on the listed limit of 300kg, as exceeding that can strain the system. A minor downside is that prolonged use seems to require consistent maintenance checks, though this is expected with any lift of such intensity. I appreciated the clarity of controls; they are straightforward, ensuring reliability during critical tasks. Overall, it’s a solid tool for specific needs if operated within guidelines.

Earthmoving equipment Shantui SD 22
2020 Year

Used the SD22 on a recent project requiring significant earthmoving. The hydraulically connected gearbox caught my attention-smooth shifting and consistent performance under load. However, I felt that access to spare parts in the cab could be better organized for quicker retrieval. Air conditioning in the cab prevented major fatigue during prolonged operations, which was great. Though efficient, certain aspects might benefit from slight refinements to optimize user convenience.

The Haulotte Compact 12 has been part of my equipment lineup recently. Operating this scissor lift feels dependable. It handles solidly on flat, even surfaces, but I felt the need to always verify slope conditions beforehand. The operational interface is intuitive, but I found the speed controls at elevated positions could respond more finely. That said, with routine care, its performance stays consistent. The guidance on keeping it stored and serviced correctly essentially secures its longevity. A useful machine provided you respect its specifications.

I recently rented a Kubota KX080 mini-excavator. The machine performed decently overall, but there are some nuances. For example, I had to replace the hydraulic pump (Kubota 70000-33210) due to a minor leak. I will also note that compared to other models in this class, the driver's comfort level could be a bit higher. In all other respects, the equipment handles its tasks well. It's worth weighing the pros and cons when choosing this model.

A few months ago I bought the Kubota KX080. I am very pleased with my choice! This mini-excavator is perfect for my farming and field work. Recently changed the fuel pre-filter, but not surprising considering the intense usage. Nevertheless, the machine demonstrates excellent performance and reliability. Very happy with my choice and purchase!

I am a private entrepreneur and have a small plot of land. I needed to change my excavator and my choice fell on the 2016 Kubota KX080. I am quite satisfied with my purchase. It performs all the tasks that are needed on my plot. Recently, I had to replace the hydraulic filter and also change the oil in the hydraulic system. The machine works without any issues, and most importantly, it is very maneuverable and easy to operate. I recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and productive mini-excavator!

I want to share my opinion about the Caterpillar 950F wheel loader. This model has proven itself to be a reliable and efficient machine, but it has a few minor drawbacks in its design. In the hydraulic system, there may be some slight loss of performance at times. The Cat C9 ACERT engine with a capacity of 8.8 liters is good, but it may lack power when handling heavy loads. Overall, the Caterpillar 950F is a dependable workhorse, but I would recommend considering more modern models that have improved features and additional functions.
