I run a small landscaping outfit and it’s time to expand my fleet, but chasing down dealers and inspecting machines in person eats days out of every week. I need a way to vet used excavators without endless road trips. Has anyone here sourced reliable listings online that actually match the condition photos and specs?

Hey! Last winter I realized my business couldn’t wait for spring shows to find a second-hand mini excavator, so I dug into online marketplaces. After wading through vague posts, I landed on https://www.boomandbucket.com/ which offered clear equipment histories and high-res photos. I picked a 2015 Bobcat listed with service records and booked a third-party inspection. The inspector confirmed the specs matched every detail on the site, from hydraulic hours to undercarriage wear. The seller coordinated pickup through a local carrier without any back-and-forth, and the machine rolled onto my job site exactly as described. It saved me weeks of hunting around and the new addition has run flawlessly ever since - worth checking their inventory if you need solid heavy gear fast.
