What $40,000 – $60,000 Gets You

What to Expect

3-7 year old large-frame machines with 1,500-3,500 hours. Cat 272D3/262D3, Bobcat S86/S76, JCB 270/300. High-flow, modern controls, pressurized cabs.

Tradeoffs

Still used — inspect for frame cracks and hydraulic wear from heavy use. Previous demolition use accelerates wear significantly.

Best Strategy

Optimal value for professional demo contractors. Look for machines from construction (not demo) history — less wear. Budget $10,000-$20,000 for demo attachment package.
