Hitachi EX135

[Hesston4860s]

Anyone care to try and put a value on one of these ?
I can’t remember the year but it’s done 15950 hrs, it’s pretty tidy cosmetically. Engine runs well and most things on it work, it does however have some hyd issues somewhere as it’s not as fast as it should be and the boom drops on it own. The boom is more than likely just a check valve tho, tracks on it in decent order aswell.

Thanks

I’ve spent the last 3 days on it and will be on it again tomorrow but not sure I’d pay that much for it !, even tho it does drive ok ish it does need work done to it.

Offer low and ye never no they might just bite

You will always pay a premium for a Hitachi.

Hydraulic problems can be costly, and at them hours the pump may well need an overhaul. Probably cheaper to get another s/h one, but both options will be expensive.

At them hours, with faults, it’s probably best exported or broken for parts.

There are plenty decent s/h machines about, better to pay a bit more for something without major faults

I'm looking for a 13ton digger atm, getting halfway decent you're into 15-20k not so long ago you could have purchased one for around the 10k mark.

Week pound has increased export market.

10000 sterling is still tidy dash one money so even a 135 needing work especially if the undercarriage is good on it has to make better Money than that.one of the best ranges Hitachi ever made...

It’s not worth me paying more money for anything decent it’ll only do 50 hours a year !, yes I know for those hours hire one but when I want one I want it now not next day or day after so hire won’t work for me.

Nothing handier than your own, ill second that.

In running order even with fauilts as you describe its got to be worth at least £10k as @astra says. If you can get it for less it all the better!! If the faults become worse and expensive to fix you can allways sell it to a breaker.

Otherwise i would keep an eye out for an old JS, not fashionable, but the 130 has allways been a decent digger in my experience. The odd tidy example for less then 10k does pop up now and again

Agree, walk away if it’s got hydraulic faults

It’s a yr 2000, and since I recalibrated the throttle this morning it’s like a different machine. Much much quicker it even revs harder now in heavy digging like it’s supposed too,

Sorry to hijack anyone know anything about a 135 compact? Seen one locally for sale.

One ram seems to have a small leak. But we’d the cause the boom to drop so fast

Internal leak in the ram.

Internal leak in the ram.

Is there any way I could test it.
