Testing Heavy Equipment - Case Excavator, Bulldozer, Tractor review

What happens here

The second essential criterion is the long-term quality and dependability of the equipment. This involves assessing whether the machine will continue to perform reliably and problem-free long after it has been paid off. The presenter illustrates this point with his own old CASE 1150G bulldozer, which starts immediately despite not being used for eight months, and hasn't been used for five years before that. This demonstrates that a quality machine will provide sustained profitability and avoid unexpected headaches or hassles.

Goal: Determine if the equipment is built to last and provide long-term profitability.

what I've experienced in the past. Number two is quality. How well will that machine continue to deliver long after it's been paid off? This is the make it or break it to most business owners. Now, when I think of quality, I think of long-term dependability. Does the machine run problem free while you're trying to pay it off? But then after you finally finish with that last payment, will that machine continue to operate without giving you too many headaches or hassles? Let's take a look at this old case bulldozer of mine. I've had it for over a decade. I haven't used it in the last 5 years. In fact, the last time that this machine was ever ran was 8 months ago. Let's go see if it'll fire up for me. [Music] That right there proves to me that this is a well-built machine. Not fired in 8 months and it doesn't even turn over. Meaning that I am confident as a business owner that if I need this piece of equipment, it's got my back.
