I bought a SY215 !- Its twice as fast as our Komatsu 210 LC and is a dream to operate ! Cummins Engine/ Kawasaki Pumps -5000 hrs warranty or 5 years which ever comes first, responds just like a Komatsu ! I pick the Sany out the two in a morning
Tons of people are buying them. They might have to turn up the hydraulic pumps, but when there turned, the rip. Open and easy to work on. I'm expressed with them. I wish the dipper was longer. The boom wasn't bent at almost a 90degree . Other than that, pretty tight machine
Stumbled upon your video today! We've been in partnership with SANY America for almost a decade and have had a great experience along the way. Glad to hear you are loving your SY60C! Keep moving dirt!
Hmmh....Looks like a good buy....Thank you for your review and information.....I currently have a JD 3046R tractor with cab and Bucket, Backhoe and Mower.....Serves me well as a private homeowner....Your review on the SANY Tracked Backhoe was informative...I sent the link to my friend who has a landscaping business.....we've been talking about what machine he might want 'ta buy in this class of excavator......This looks like the best deal around... I love John Deere equipment. I grew up working on my grandfathers farm and he had all JD equipment. I'm following with my purchase of some beautiful, functional JD equipment for use around my home. So far, i couldn't be happier.....Nice tractor that 3046R, highly recommended. Smooth operating, Quiet, Powerful with a 45 HP Yanmar Turbo Diesel. Heat, AC, GPS, AM-FM / Satellite Radio, Pneumatic seat, Tilt steering wheel....Shit, this thing has more creature comforts than a high end SUV....
I'm up in Eastern Canada. Nova Scotia. I just bought a Sany 3.5. Putting a Forax brush mulcher on it. Also setting up a quick attach plate with a hydraulic winch to snig out blown down trees. I'll be able to limb and buck them at a stable location, pile the logs with the thumb and a tooth attachment at the back of the plate to act like a grapple..then un pin and put the mulcher on and clean up. Been doing this since 1984 with some big gear but now it's for backyard storm cleanup..and enjoyment.
Hi mate I have a sy60c bought it April 2021 it's now August 2022 it's done 1780 hours never missed a beat value for money I've had cat Doosan etc all the big brands I've now just bought a SY80U there good machines I'm in Australia
Nice to see some videos on this brand...tough to find on RU-vid. Looking at a 2020 Sany 50U with 3 buckets and a hydraulic thumb for $53K. 89 Hours...Not sure if priced right. I am in the PNW where everything is more expensive, though. Great videos. Keep 'em coming.
I live in the upstate of South Carolina Greenville to be exact and the local sany dealer does not have a service department at all but they can get parts and I'm trying to figure out where I can get my machine serviced at if I buy it I am trying out the exact machine you have and I really like it a lot but just like you if I can't get a good service then I don't know if I'm going to do it anyway any ideas? Just to let me know what you think if you have time and I will try to call the dealer that you got yours from and see what they suggest anyway looks like you made a good choice and I wish you the best with it and I certainly hope I get to get one myself sure have enjoyed trying it out
Gidday mate, Im looking at a 5 tonne machine for work kn the farm.....are you still happy with the Sany as a brand, build quality and general wear? Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers from NZ
How is the cab room? I’m 6’1 and 250lbs the kubota and deer seem kinda small the Takeuchi tb290 we have at work has a lot of room. I would like to go look at one but closet dealer is 130 miles from me
It’s crazy how much the prices have gone up on these my dealer has two sy30 left for 52k after tax and the salesman is saying that after that the out the door price will be 56k. How is it holding up a year later?
I have Cat excavators and equipment. Best brand to own for parts, familiarity, resell, and such. But the price is so high. And the arrogance. I’m in Georgia. I’m 2.5 from Peachtree city Georgia. But.....I’d be willing to try this brand for the savings and warranty. The older I get the more open minded I am to stuff like this. The brand doesn’t care about you like the brand expects you to care about them. The “I will only ride a Harley” mentality is destructive.
Search CAT China on RU-vid. When I saw the video of them being fully built in China I said yeah screw that. Im not paying double. There shipping them over just like sany.
@@SadlonCattleCompany am kinda disagree with you in that because CAT made in China has nothing to do with Chinese equipment brand if we talk about quality, basically they will never tell you that but China facilities for CAT is just an assembly lines created in 1994 because of Chinese government regulations to force the manufacturer move there business inside China like VW , which also help them sell alot inside a big market like China. For me am talking about middle East machines like CAT 320D sourced from China to our market since 2011 with the same price of Belgium or US ones however the quality didn't changed at all instead the price slightly get down because the shipping cost become lower and availability become much much better than before , Big Machineries are getting manufactured in CAT factory in China 🇨🇳 and the machine reputation, resale value and quality is very good 👍 you just need to check someone who tried them so you can judge them I saw some chinese 980H with 40K h on the clock and they still didn't touch the power train
@@OsamahAlQaisi I never said Cat in china was not quality. When I pay 100k I want Made in USA.When I buy Cat I want USA. Not China. My local Cat has a 306 Excavator says made in USA w foreign and domestic parts. Parked right next to it is a Cat 307 says made in China. The 307 is still over 130,000. Yes the machine is quality with more bells and whistles but I'm not going to sit here and say it's Built any better than sany.Just has more electronics which is not necessarily a good thing. They have the same seat and same cheap plastic. There both China steal.My Sany has a Yanmar so powertrain is no problem. I'm sure there are high hour Sanys. I never said Cat was a low quality machine just cause it's China ,All brands have a lotta parts coming from China and Korea. But when Cat has one sitting on the lot made in china. And I can get the same made in China size machine half price its common sense. I just bought a Cat 259d3 and I'll be honest it feels cheap inside like my Sany . It's comfortable. It also says made w foreign and domestic parts. And is the most expensive in it's class. I'm sure all the fancy electronics are china .all computer stuff is,, but it's quality. If I was running an excavator every day and that's all I did was dig I would want a caterpillar. But I don't use it very often so why tie a bunch of money up in it. I'm just trying to show people that Sany is not absolute junk. I'm sure they probably are the worst excavator on the market but that's not necessarily a bad thing because all this new equipment is really good, and price reflects that, it's hard to say that any brand is better than the other. Technology has come a long way. It's better than buying a machine with 10,000 hours thats wore slap out. And Sany copied someone ,there no way your First machine runs and digs that good w all the engineering thought out that well they had help and they copied.
Yup I use to feel the same way about Snap-on Tools when I was a young mechanic I’d pay extra for the brand name and I was Snap-on all the way but not anymore. I’ve been looking at Yanmar excavators for a while but the Sansy has really caught my attention. I can buy a brand new Sansy for the same price on a used Yanmar with 2000 hours. They use Yanmar diesel engines plus the warranty is amazing.
Apparently, people here are not aware of how Cat does business. After the last labor strike, Cat decided to out source the manufacturing for some of their equipment. They would visit factories world wide, and ask these factories to bid on building equipment as specified in their drawings. As long as the equipment meet all Cat’s specification, it does not really matter where or which factories they are made at.
I think these machines will have the same failings as Kubota and Bobcat and Deere. Emissions and electronics. But the iron is just as strong and you can still hook up a cable throttle and Murphy gauges like a lot of old Hitachis and Deeres and Samsungs have. IMO Cat Deere and Bobcat last 10 years did this to themselves making fancy machines with too much crap, not staying focused on rugged reliability. I mean the new Bobcat skid steers have a tin rear door with louvers. Compare that to an old S250 with a 5/16ths plate rear door and they are just trying to make these machines NOT last
The 2021 Bobcat T650 I have on long term rent to bolster our own fleet this summer as it’s been crazy already how busy it is, rear door is super super stout. Can you remember what model had the thin rear door. It’s a super great machine and hasn’t hiccuped since receiving it. But still prefer my Kubota pilot controls/hydraulic over hydraulic controls vs Bobcats electronic over Hydraulic. Most don’t feel the difference and delay but the few of us that can knows they difference. Lol
@@mudstar7140 The new R series (T66R) is the machine I'm not impressed with. I believe the M series loaders still have plate doors. Personally I'm not very impressed that a 2021 machine hasn't had a hiccup. Give it 15 years and tell me how its doing. I ran the old S250s and S300's up to 4500 hours. 10 years of daily abuse and on 4 machines totalling over 12,000 hours we replaced one starter and one blown hose. No chance your new machine will make 4000 hours without problems from the emissions or computer
@@mudstar7140 I prefer my Takeuchi hyd over hyd cont also have run the electronic .I prefer hyd over hyd also.I will be looking at the Sany 60 soon i think it is a good unit !
@@NotSureJoeBauers I haven’t had the chance to run the R series’s. What I don’t like on this machine it still bogs out and acts like it’s out of fuel on steep inclines no matter how much fuel is in the the tank. Makes a hard job harder in these mountains.
@@mudstar7140 I ran a T650 back in 2014. If you ask for too much power from the tracks like hard dozing or steep climb it bogs the engine down. Is that what you mean or it just doesn't run off-camber? I've only run a T190 for close comparison and it would doze and spin the tracks till you wreck the track or burn up the drive
I bought the 35u in 2017,Sany, it’s the best, way faster hydraulics than a 50 bobcat, 3000, hours so far only brake down was the electric throttle, but I left the window open and it got rained on for 2 years, my fault, but they still warranty it!
Any update on that machine? I’m very familiar with bobcat and haven’t strayed cause I know them inside and out. Seems like like to do only one task at a time and it’s frustrating with time management. Thanks
@@travishodges5179 everyone keeps saying it uses half the fuel, how is that possible if you are comparing apples to apples HP to HP from say a Takeuchi to Sany or Bocat to Sany similar models?
@@jonathanbeam6898 the engine is a yanmar, the engine and hydraulics are perfectly matched, It runs 10 hours on 8 gallons of fuel as hard as you can run it, normal duty working laying drain tile is around 5 gallons in a 10hour day, go rent one and find out, I don’t sell equipment, I use it, and I use it rough!my real world results tell me I can carry a five gallon can to the Sany, or haul the fuel cell to all the others
I have a sy50u and am having great luck with it except that my left track has come off three times! The last time I decided to tighten it even tighter than recommended and so far so good. Anyone else having that problem?
@@midmac8913 Thank you for the feedback. Mine is doing better now, so maybe the track was stretching out when new. Thought I was tensioned correctly!?!
Check out Appalachian Equipment Solutions started out in WV but they now have a dealership in Tennessee. Great sales people to talk to and the machines are awesome guys!
Hi I'm looking to buy a Sany 5t or 6t excavator. Just wondering how yours has been so far. Unfortunately the dealer doesn't have demo machines only new machines that can be moved around but no digging to really test it out.
I am 241 miles south of the Georgia headquarters. Very interested. Been ALL Caterpillar for over 50 years, but tired of their bullshit. That WARRANTY has my attention.
Sold it ,went bigger machine.Ive talked to every brands sales rep and learned pretty quick dealer is what matters . A good dealer will work w you on price and repairs. Luckily I have a good sany dealer in my area. Also sany has a good name cause it sold fast to a guy in another state dealer honored warranty no issues.
i was whondering about them i’d like to demo one see how they do i have ran cat deere bobcat i won’t touch takeuchi after the problems we had with one and the kubota dealer is crap here looks like decent no frills machine which is nice
Yes, at 65 hours no problems beast of a machine. I'll do a 100hr review video soon. Apparently a Sany dealer is not happy w me for listing the price lol.
These prices aren't even close to what they have inflated them to as of lately. You got a steal! I called Newman tractor and was immediately told about the "territory" map for the dealers, was passed off to 4 other dealers within the span of a half a day trying to figure out who could actually sell me one without encroaching on someone else's territory only to be given a price of about 5k higher than a name brand competitor...I tried to give them a shot but the run around and inflated price point I think I'll be buying a Hyundai or a Kubota.
Cat and deer super scared! They will say anything to discorouge you! You were rite about keeping money in youre pocket! They may not have there name on Fancy boots but they will take you to the job site everytime.
Looks like a good machine in any case a fair part of the name brand machines today are built in China as well including Cat , good luck with your new Sany !!
I just brought sy18u its the latest mini of theres it looks good ill stop there$ 36.000 inclu tax here in nz ,they were good though gave me full refund I'll wait few more years before i give them another shot .got a tb217r instead 37500 that includes tilt bucket 3000hr 3 yr warranty.i own taks but gave sany ago .they still need bit fine tuning.
if people actualy looked on the manufactuers placards most of them are asian made(aka japanese) so most of the time your paying for the name now. the build quality is getting better every year.
I just watched a video from C&C Equipment that Sany will not honor their warranty if the equipment is purchased from a auction or private seller. If you buy one from a auction with 1 hour on it and its a week old, there is no warranty.
I as well don't know much about sany machines but in the near future I will be looking for an equipment and the sany's are part of my search....the low price on the machine I don't believe it's because low quality parts, in my opinion it's because it's cheaper for a Chinese worker to live in his contrary and manufacture then it is for the American worker to live in America and manufacture, pulse they want to break into the American market......I for one love Japanese engines and every sany I have seen has Japanese engines and hydraulic pumps...that said every machine breaks
I sold it. Looking to get a bigger size machine. I have no complaints with the Sany. Had the coldest air condition I've ever been in a machine. The machine never gave me one issue always ran great and strong. Whatever brand you buy in my opinion always comes down to dealer's service if you're buying it new w the warranty. I would have no issue with buying another Sany.
Yes w 4 buckets and a thumb . Would have been 54k w 2 buckets and a thumb. Delivered to my door. Dealer representative in Laverne tn ryan vanbuskirk 6158560117 . Give him a call great guy.
Ive rented many Sanys they work great...its funny people say Cat is king but ALL Cat mini excavators are made in china for the last 20 yrs....the morons never googled it i guess lololo.Yanmar is japanese second oldest engine company in japan they opened in 1907...kubota engine company opened in japan in 1890's most people dont realise they been around that long
Cat minis are made in Japan. Most of the Japanese cat engines are made at Mitsubishi heavy industries facilities. Japanese vs Chinese quality is night and day difference.
@@andrew5550 It’s a shame, I always held CATerpillar to a higher standard. I grew up around CAT equipment and learned the way of the dozer on a 1974 D8k, that machine I love so much was from back in the day when iron was 100% USA made from American steel. This old timer Sonny (RIP) was an old school Cat mechanic and used to tell me that you can rebuild a CAT dozer an infinite amount of times, because he said the quality of steel was superior to the competition such as Komatsu. He claimed that on the other brands, the frame would stretch and fatigue rendering them scrap after an undercarriage or two. I asked him what he thought of the “new Cats” made in Japan and he said they aren’t real cats but they are made to cats specifications of tolerance and quality of steel. He also explained to me at my tender age of 20 why black smoke was bad for the engine/ cylinders and what a healthy running diesel should look and sound like. I still love to see black smoke, it turns me on, and there was nothing better than letting off the decelerator of the old D8 with its D342 indirect precombustion engine that sounded like a bucket of bolts rattling around the giant black ploom that swirled up into a mushroom cloud then cleared up to deliver disgusting amounts of torque. I felt like the world was being spun by its tracks. Such fond memories. Getting back on topic though, I heard years ago that the Chinese cat manufacturing plant only served china and they didn’t export the Chinese variant outside china. I’ve seen badges from all over the world on cat machines. Poland made the bucket for a Japanese built machine, with tracks made in Belgium. It’s crazy the global market we live in today. I hope all these companies figure out the emissions garbage that kills the reliability and longevity of modern engines. These Sany machines look like early 2000s cat clones. Just found out there is a Sany dealer about 2 hours from me and I want to go give them a go. I’d love for my first machine to be a CAT but that is not the reasonable choice given my position. At the end of the day it’s like this. You like CAT or many you like Case or Komatsu, it’s like ford vs Chevy in the sense that you like what your dad likes and are biased. I’m my case my grandfather got me at a very young age wearing cat hats and I remember being in 1st grade and I was the only kid to have a CAT key on my house key ring can you believe that?! Lol. Enough rambling thanks for the knowledge and response Andrew! Be safe
Ive heard nothing but good things about Sany and the only negatives have been silly "its Chi-neese, so its junk" boomer nonsense. Theres a documentary on youtube about their plant thats super cool as well. Im interested to see what the situation will look like in 10 years and how well they hold up over time, but I remember when Kia and Hyundai first hit the US market with their $9K cars with 10/10k warranty and I would trust them any day over a dodge or jeep. I doubt it will be any different with Sany, Im quite impressed with them and I am seriously considering getting one for my business. FYI i think the CAT clone machine statement was a baseless rumor, that simply doesnt make sense. Any patent that would have expired would be extremely outdated tech at this point
I did the math. John Deere $89,000; Sany $56,000 difference is $24,000. You said that's 500 hours of work so, $24,000 divided by 500 hours is $48.00 per hour, no way do you bill the mini at $48.00 hour what are you talking about, please explain you are confusing the people watching the video.
We just got a Sany excavator in Russia as we can't really import western ones anymore. What a piece of sh!t. The only good thing about it is the paint, it's worse than Terex. Don't recommend Sany
That salesman will tell you what ever you want to here to sell you that pos...Sany has been having troubles selling them and they are desperate to drive them to market...wait a year or two and see how they treat you...
Guess I could have bought a double the price made in China Caterpillar. But ill take my chances . My local dealers are a joke compared to sany . The sany dealer is takeuchi and couple other brands. With 5 service trucks ready to go . They gave me the mechanics cell phone number . Said you have any problems just call him. Then bought me a 12 oz. Ribeye. No dealer has ever treated me like that. And the head mechanic is as sharp as a tack . Im usually a know it all but he showed me up fast w 40 years of heavy equipment experience. as far as a pos goes I don't know what machine you run but these sanys are mint compared to a 5 year old deere or takeuchi or yanmar. . Could have paid the same price for a 1500 hour bobcat w no warranty. That makes alotta sense.
do not be a negative person ! i am a heavey equipment tech and they are a good unit not state of the art but good for the price and the warranty is great not every one can afford cat deer kubota or wants to spend /make high payments .what do you own!
wait till you cant get parts for them...or have to sell it???...and I have owned all of them...except Sany...and none of my Cats or kubotas or yanmar's or komatsu's or what ever are made in China...the only cat i know that is made in china is the 307.5...which I almost bought untill i saw the "made in china" tag...the CCP controls all means of production in China and they are a brutal and corrupt dictatorship that steals every bit of technology they have...not to mention the human rights violations and out right corruption...but if you want to support that go ahead...what are you gonna do if they decide to stop servicing their product?...your warranty will mean nothing...
