What do new diggers cost?

[hoff135]

Specifically 8 ton machines?

Been trying to find a decent second hand Takeuchi 8 ton digger but everything is either very high houred or very expensive or both.

So i wondered what does say a Takeuchi tb290, or similar Cat or kobelco actually retail for?

Seems everything is going mad i reckon id get all or most of my money back on the volvo digger i bought 9 years ago.

No I idea. It will depend on the make. It will be well over £50k by now will it not?
Iirc new 8t volvo discounted price was about £43k about 5 years ago.

Saw a tb 290 in a dealers before xmas. 4 yr old and 3k hours. It was 40k plus vat. One a couple of weeks ago with less hours and newer was 55k i think

Takeuchi will be a bit dearer than some will they not.
(probably better built and with a higher resale value).

I am sure i saw a picture of a new 8t Kubota on here a few weeks/months ago so maybe they would be able to give you an idea

5 ton Sany, brand new in your yard with a quick hitch for about 35K.

 

[Lakesdigger]

Depending on make but sticking to established brands 55k to 65k depending on spec.

Know a few people who bought case cx75s last year, they were £58k, 600mm steel tracks, hyd hitch etc

Why not buy another volvo?

 

[R J]

A new 8 ton takeuchi is about 65k

I think a full spec New Kubota KX080-4 with 3 buckets and hydraulic hitch is about €70K here in Ireland.

Ecr88?

Never driven one but have been told by 2 people who did they were horrible to grade with.

I like the takuechi because its not zero tail swing which isnt my cup of tea. But my little 2.5 ton volvo has been a cracking digger

Thanks for all the replies. I doubt id ever buy a new one but it sort of gives me an idea of what second hand ones are valued at.

Silly money is where second hand prices are at the mo unless of course you've something to sell. I reckon prices could drop a little in about 12 months time maybe but who knows.

Yes i agree. Ive been watching the facebook pages selling diggers and most of the time i think you have to be kidding.

Anything decently priced has 50 messages in no time.

Certainly no bargains to be had on there

You might find going new on a 0% finance and warranty deal will cost the same as a good used machine over 5 years

You don't see much 0% on diggers tbh and warranties can be fairly standard at 1 or 2 years (longer are sometimes available but tbh cover v little)

 

[How much]

A 8 ton Jcb is around £62K list but don't expect much if any discount and probably a fairly lengthy delivery time
