A lot contractors when they are choosing XCMG excavators, they make mistakes.
Most of them only focus on price, and ignore other important things like working condition, excavator configuration etc.
Om fact for different excavators, they are suitable for different working environment.
As one of the largest exporter for XCMG products, we have following advices for foreign XCMG excavator buyers:
