Volvo EC15

[Thediggerman]

Hi
what are people’s thoughts on the Volvo ec15 2013 , looking for a 1.5-2.0 ton machine and these keep coming up . Are they reliable , expensive to maintain eta ? Mitsubishi engine I believe, any good ? I think they don’t dig quite as deep as their competitors, 2.2m according to lectura.
thanks in advance

Nobody got or had one ? Thought loads of people would of done considering how many are on the market , or maybe the amount for sale is telling me something

they seem to give a lot of problems, judging by the number of threads on issues, on other forums ... P&C forum especially

I had one as my first volvo mini digger.it was a great machine,never any problems but only I used it and I’m paranoid about seeing after machines.kept it 5 years and put a thousand hours on it one year aswell as running my avatar and a farm.only issue was exhaust pipe fracturing but inm sure that was due to vibration when it was left running.never any other issues.had a pair of ec18c volvo since and currently an ecr25d.
