They pay attention not only on the price of the excavator, but also on its performance, watch the cost of standard hour maintenance, calculate fuel consumption for the production of cubic meters of rock. And, most importantly, they clearly understand that a machine that is idle, not only profitable – it causes damage, because the money spent on it could work the other way.
