Demoing A Hitachi 160lc 

I work for one of my best friends and he has a Hitachi ex160lc and a hitachi zaxis160lc with a Craig quick connect with a clean up bucket. And he's also got an older ex100 Hitachi and those 3 machines have been such good machines. The ex160 has 28000 hours and the only major issues have been the shafts that drive the planetary gears in the final drives needed to be replaced and planetary basket and gear set on the swing motor needed to be replaced. It's still running on the factory engine and hydraulic pump which neither have been opened up. And this machine has been very very well use. Oh and the undercarriage has been rebuilt once. And some welding on the booms. Hitachi makes very durable quality machines.

Best digger you’ll get. We have two 130’s. They are absolutely flawless machines and so easy to grade ( we have no GPS) and really eco on fuel. Would 100% recommend this digger.

Great video can u do a tour of all your gear

Go for the gold. Engon and trimble complete machine control. Makes any excavator good?

You should try a Kobelco ED160. It is actually a 135 upper on a 200 lower to handle the 6 way dozer blade. I have one and like it alot.

You know what Chris would tell you to try!!!

A good operator and you don't need fancy shit!

Komatsu and hitachi are my favorite.

Good video sir, and nice work.👍so are you guys getting any amount of snow yet.?

Its a great machine.👍

A contractor we deal with got rid of a Cat 320 and got a Hitachi 200. Employees liked it so much the owner bought a second Hitachi 200. However they kept a Cat 345C. They do land clearing ,rough grade and final grade.

good machines from what i hear, not much problems. but parts cost a shitload when they do break.

Is this video before you bought your new excavator? I hear you mention your looking to get a 160 sized machine

Didn't you end up getting the 316? Do you have a strong Volvo dealer where you are? If I remember right didn't you run Chris' Volvo? or have you? I can't remember.

What pattern do you use on your joysticks

The Hitachies are good machines but I feel the cab is smaller than a Volvo or on a Cat. Only my 2cents

Tom, are you going to keep and re-sell/use the boulders from that site?

And how do like this Hitachi 160lc .

Try a volvo 160cl

CHECK OUT THE DOOSANS, YOU SHOULD STOP INTO OUR NEW BUILDING EQUIPMENT EAST 1474 RTE. 3A BOW NH LOCATED BETWEEN RIVER RD. AND THE PETERBILT DEALER!

Opt for the Hitachi. That motor is better than Deere's. Good machine.

As rocky as the soil is where you live, I wonder if some type of soil sifter or grizzly bar box would make a good investment for you. Seems to be that you spend a lot of time having to pop rocks out when you are grading. Then you are left with what to do with all the rocks? bury them or sell them or something else?

Try out a Volvo 160

Did you not own that 316

Is the thumb still useable?

Will you test Liebherr excevator? Do you even have Liebherr in US? We in Europe have a lot of them and there is reason for that because its one of best brands you can buy. If you are serching for 16 ton class machine, mayby try some whelled excevator? it has a lot of benefits and and it perfectly fill gap between excevator and loader but its not tlb its a lot better than it.

Thenks you sar.iam opretor hii

Do you still have the Deere 200 lc

You obviously are not getting much snow neither huh

Hitachi is the best out off all of them
