Sany

Does anyone here have any first hand knowlage of Sany Equipment mainly mine excavtors good or bad?

Thanks

I have no first hand experience but the local CIH/NH dealer has been carrying them for the last 18 months or so. They seem to be selling in vast numbers and the few people Ive spoken with are happy so far.

Dave Sparks aka "Heavy D" of the Diesel Brothers, likes his excavator.

They kind of remind me of Case in their styling.

First I knew of Sany was when I spotted a pair of brand new excavators rolling by aboard a lowboy last weekend.

Could you guys put a few extra words in title of post so we have some idea what you atr talking about so we can skip what does not interest us like your post

You opened it and chose to reply. Maybe you should have moved on rather than post a negative reply.

They do have a very attractive price. Had one contractor near here buy one about 3 years ago and had a lot of electrical problems. He ended up going back to Deer. There is a couple more running here in the county I am in and so far they are OK.

Sorry

Just trying to be helpfull. There are so many posters that seem to think we are mind readers by leaving simple things out that would help every body. Onoe or two more words put in a heading can help a lot. There have been a few times somebody posted with a title that made no sence and just to try to figure out what they were asking I then were able to help them with their problem so just that extra word or two might make a difference in them getting a good answer or no replies.

BMack ..... I'm with ya on that for sure. A complaint about wasting his time but then wasting more replying. We're talking maybe 20 seconds out of a guy's day, and even if it is not what you think ..... so what, no big deal really.

I was Parts & Logistics manager at TSR (Texas State Rentals) for 10 years. 8 of those years, I spent ordering Sany parts for the rental fleet repairs/ service calls/ warranties/ sales/ part sales. TSR tried other brands like W@cker, Y@nmar, M@nitou Group Mustang/ Gehl, Kubota, but Sany was the one that stuck. Those brands weren't for TSR based on machine pricing, parts pricing, and warranty. Everybody operates different.

Customer's with bad experiences with Sany's normally come from lack of service/parts support because dealers are unfamiliar with the brand or don't know how Sany operates- I sold a lot of parts to people sent by Sany bc their local dealer is no help. If it is not in stock in Georgia then parts are coming from overseas or Sany's local supplier with lead times 3-4 weeks on order types expedited/stock. Urgent type orders ( machine down ) can be 1-2 weeks if a small part and in stock @ Sany's supplier (local or overseas).

Like all brands there are models you should stay away from. I can't say due to a gray area because I left the company 2/5/22 you don't get rich working for someone else , but In my opinion the sy35 (yanmar engine ) top seller mini & sy215 ( Cummins QSB) are models to look at. If you can stay away from anything with DEF.
