What happens here

Patrick highlights the robust undercarriage, noting the use of very high-quality components from the Berco supplier. The undercarriage includes 'beast-up' idlers and three track guards for better protection of the track chain. Increased hose diameters for the drive motors (by a quarter of an inch) contribute to what Hitachi calls 'effortless tracking,' leading to 5-10% better fuel efficiency, especially on flat ground, due to improved hydraulic flow.

Goal: The undercarriage of Hitachi excavators features high-quality components and reinforced track systems for increased durability and efficiency.

What they say

Hide

we we get that John Deere was made by Hitachi, so there's not going to be a sacrifice in quality, but you're actually going to get more do bang for your buck, more value for your dollar. So, if you went with a Hitachi excavator, you may pay less, but get more, but you're not sacrificing anything. But let's find out what the rest of the upgrades on the Hitachi excavators are. And then we're also going to look at those same upgrades that they've reserved for the Hitachi wheel loaders after that. The end user. So the counterwe may not be important to everybody, but it is important to some people. But what else are we looking at? Yeah, this is a great spot to look at our undercarriage. So we use very high quality components from the Burko supplier for our undercarriage. So on the undercarriage, we've beefed up the idlers. We've added three track guards for for better protection for your for your track chain. We've even increased our hose diameters to our drive motors by a/4 of an inch for what we like to call track uh effortless tracking. So if you're on a relatively flat piece of ground, because of the better hydraulic flow to the drive motors, it's going to save you anywhere from 5 to 10% on fuel efficiency.
