I hope Carson will do a excavator someday with a lower price range, this market price is ridiculous .... |
Re: New 60 ton excavator from Robbe
If you look at the price Vat is included so if that was to be sent to north america this would come off .
Yes these Machines are expensive..I have both purchased and built construction models ..If you have built a construction machine you would know what kind of work is involved in these intricate peices of equipment ..If you ask anyone of the scratch building excavtors modelers (or constuction) machine if they sold their machines for $7000 they would be lucky to get even $5 bucks an hour for their labour . Even with the high tech equipment that Premacon ,Robbe , THS ,Fumotech or scaleart have at their disposal I dont see alot of profit for these higher end models. I have friends that wont even batt an eye when purchasing a 35k harley or even a 50k boat ..I beleive a hobby is a hobby reguardless and If you can afford it all the power to you . Just sayin |
Re: New 60 ton excavator from Robbe
I agree with Lou I know with the 3 construction models I built I spent anywhere from 1200 to 2000 hours on each. But in my case I build all the hydraulics including pumps, cylinders and control valves. So the price their asking is reasonable.

Re: New 60 ton excavator from Robbe
Yep, I've had the same experience. I've put at least 2000 hrs into my dozer build in 2015 including drawings, and I'm still not finished. I'm not going to embarrass myself saying what it's cost and I know I've got $1500 still to tip in. Sometimes along the way I wished I never started. To me money can't buy what I've built - but in reality it's worth $0.00 to sell. So if one can buy an excavator or model ready made, just add your own finishing touches and you're ready to dig dirt and save 2000 hrs building. And a commercial ready-made probably has some resale value too if one decides to move on to another model.
