Sany rep from banner rang a few weeks ago to introduce himself and the Sany range. Sounded good on price, availability and back up but I thought the machines would be poor so I went down last Friday and tried a few in the yard. 1.7 and 1.9 machines both impressed me, I’d say as good or better than the bobcat/doosan equivalents. Bombproof Yanmar engine, not sure about hydraulics/motors but felt smooth and good quality. 2.6t not so much but they said they had a few with hydraulics not fully sorted yet. Felt to me that there was so much weight in dipper it would always be twitchy, they look incredibly heavy built but no noticeable counterweight.
Anyway long story short, bought 1 if each of the little ones and hopefully collecting today as both are needed straight away. Mix of self drive hire, 1 day operated local stuff and our own jobs.
Will try to keep thread updated as there’s plenty of talk about these machines but not much actual owner experience.
Deal was 16,500 for 1.7 18,000 for 1.9 ( the same machine with a full cab) then £750 off for buying two, no reduction for cash buy so took the two years 0%. 5 year warranty, 50hr service kit included to do yourself, can do servicing yourself if you buy the kit from them it keeps warranty or they can service @£70/hr mobile.
Needed these machines for a while but couldn’t face giving Lloyds anymore money for bobcats, service and prices both shocking.
Complete opposite at Sany so far, up front and straight, no rep bs. Will see if it continues, if it does I can see bigger machines being replaced too.
