Need Help Finding Used Walking Excavator

johandes

Can anyone out there help me find a used walking excavator? Any condition is ok. They seem to be as scarce as hens teeth. I would appreciate any help. You can reply here or directly to me at johandes@aol.com
Thank you all!!!!!

Welcome to the site. The guy you want to ask is probably out working his day and night look for brianhay on this site.

Hi joh welcome to the site. I know of one for sale but it may be more then you want to spend. It's a 2004 so big bucks. It wont be for sale long there several people ready to buy it. Another guy I know is looking to buy a new one so his old one (1998) will be for sale when he does. They are extremely hard to find. Unless you get lucky enough to find one already in North America it will take a good three months to get it here. Here is a couple links to check out

Edit:

I am seeing lots of hits on my website every month from this thread so I figured I would add some info to this post.

I can tell you from experience that this is NOT the place to buy one if you are in Canada.

Many of us here got our machines from him but do not deal with him any more, very expensive lesson learned.

Most of us now deal with.

I wish I would have found Pioneer Kaiser before I bought my machine. I would have been a LOT further ahead right now.

I usually know where there are some for sale too. Check out my websites in my signature and feel free to shoot me a message.

True, but not the machine he is looking for. IF he finds one he will be paying a lot of money for it.

Hopefully great.

Corey, Follow the links on Brain's posts and see what a Kaiser is,

An actual "walking" excavator, not a track-hoe.

Well, Brian's web site is a mess....try this link instead.

Brain, what happened to your old site with all the photos?

Just me personally....but I don't like the new site. Sorry.

Not good masterk, I learned my first hard business lesson. For the last three months I have been in touch with another contractor that is really interested in them. Told me over and over he was swamped with work and wanted to sub some out to me. I told him I was as good as booked then and he would be my first customer. Long story short I am good to my word and never booked anyone else yet. ..turns out he is all talk. No big deal though, lesson learned and I'm sure it wont take me long to find something else. I guess a guy has to get a deposit or signed contract to book in advance.

You don't like it tgeb? I want brutal honesty. What don't you like? You are the first to say you don't like it.

You have made it this far. You will be fine. Get the word out that your up and running. With a specialty piece of equipment it's just a matter of time and everyone in your area will know what your capable of.

Just remember...You asked.

I can't stand those little letters that follow my pointer all over the Frickin place for one.

I go to your site from a forum and the only way I can get any information or pictures is to browse another forum. That's why I posted the Kaiser link above. If someone wants to see what a walking excavator is they don't want to have to navigate all that other stuff.

Your old site was better in my opinion, you could have broken up the pics a bit, but the new site really has no info for anyone unless they go to the forum area.

I clicketty clicked your site for about 30 seconds or so and saw all there was with out browsing the other site. Your site is more like a click through than an informative area.

You need to show people what that machine is capable of right off the bat. Get some of those incredible photos that you have on the front page so when people get to the first page they can say "WOW, look at that!"

Get their attention and keep them on Your site, don't direct people elsewhere.

There are a few other things but you get the drift, I think you could make that site much better.

I hope you are not too offended, I know you put a lot of hard work into that site and for what it is you have done a good job. It just could be so much better.

I went out today meeting people. Stopped in on a few job sites, gave out cards and introduced myself. I met some good people that were happy to hear I would be available. I'm out on Vancouver Island and there is construction every were. Going to be a busy week. I'm starting my hunt in Nanaimo and working my way around the Island meeting everyone I can find until I land a contract.

If you click on the Gallery logo on my site you will see the rest of the albums. I'm not the only Spyder Hoe guy there. There is well over 100 pics of Spyder Hoes and lots of other pics too.
