This is my experience of buying a Bobcat 442 excavator, without first seeing it in person. Did I get screwed? Only time will tell!
I also picked up a few other fun items while I was getting things from the auction.
If you have any questions about buying from an auction house, let me know in the comments below. There can be a few surprises for the novice shopper!

Ahh, TAC, I've loved everything I've ever bought from them. Can get a great deal there, but also can have days where everything is a rip off.

Ya, sometimes things are ridiculous and other times (like the motors) they are cheap.

Your hydraulic alarm is your main pump is probably out and needs rebuilt

Your swivel needs rebuild $620 for parts that will fix the blade and stuff
@MakersAcres
@MakersAcres 5 месяцев назад
Turns out it was even simpler! It had a switch to put the blade into “float” mode. All of the labeling is rubbed off the switches and while reading through the manual I learned about it. Next day I went up and switched it off and the blade holds now! Have you done a swivel rebuild? Seems like a scary thing.

I think you got a decent deal. I’d bet the blade issue is a bad cylinder and the oil alarm is a filter or sensor.
@MakersAcres
@MakersAcres 6 месяцев назад
I later found out that the blade has a “float” mode switch. As soon as I turned that off the blade would stay!

greta vid bud. Machine is beat up though. I don't think that hr meter is accurate. I would've paid abit more for something in better shape or pay a lot less for that machine. My guess all the bidders online were sight unseen as well.

Thank you! Ya, I struggled with that too, but when I look at the hoses on the boom, they have a date code back to the original build date, but they are now cracking and almost look new. So I don’t know. Someone could have been really hard and done little to no maintenance on this thing. I’ll know more as I dive into it.
