@evadvalcourt Yes, you are right. The Deere's hydraulic pump puts out 200 gpm while the Hitachi puts out 190 gpm. I don't know enough to say whether that would translate into faster cycle times.
There was a 3500 f.s near my home many years ago, I was lucky to have a go on it, not much coal being mined around here now, S Wales in the UK, too much red tape, but the coal is still there. Dai Walter's gets more greedy every week, Dai Sledge as he is known around here...😜
@54spiritedwill54 More info: Check out the specs on the Hitachi ZX 450 excavator on the Hitachi Equipment site, then check out the specs for the John Deere 450D on Deere site. They weigh the same and have the same Isuzu AH6WG 348 hp engine. Look at the cab on both machines, the engine access ladder, etc. They are the same machine. There are minor differences on the boom and stick, but both companies offer many options on those. On this model, Hitachi, no better or worse than Deere.
One of the biggest players in the area of construction machinery Hitachi comes with a rich heritage. It's great to know about their range of products .We at Infra Bazaar deals with all equipment related activities such as buying / selling / renting.
@54spiritedwill54 Agreed, I've had the chance to pilot an EX350LC, and it was the quietest, most economical machine I've ever run. Easy to use computer controls, the variable speed selector, and the A/C! We now have a Deere (in addition) with an inferior and less economical engine, and it makes less power!
come on old mate, thats a 789 your loading, five full buckets and beep him off!! yeah i run a 3600-6, cummins motor, considering i came straight out of a dash 5, it took a bit of getting used to the shorter control levers. but the cummins does purr nicely. its a very quick machine. new ladder/steps are awesome. the cab is very nice though the air con needs to be a little more powerful considering there is more glass in new cab....
Sorry Hitachi Excavators are the best very rarely have any problems have the least amount of down time ive worked with Cat,O&K,Komatsu and liebherrs and Hitachi will out dig and outlast all the others
@mxoutlaw89 how's your 3600? Where there any problems with the excavator? And how's the productivity? Had you a chance to compare with similar excavators?
@54spiritedwill54 That's not a construction machine; its a mining machine. On the construction end, the Hitachi's are good, but I don't think they are as good as Cat, Deere or Komatsu. But, that's just my opinion.
God is kind he lets us do work on his planet that he made. There is great news we can have a better life if we put our hope and trust in Jesus and follow the bibles teachings.
