The Hard Honest Truth About Owning Old Equipment

Описание: Hey folks, Chris here with BigCat Ranch!
Today I’m introducing you to “Tachi” – our trusty (and a little leaky) Hitachi EX120 excavator. She’s been around since the early ’90s, clocking over 13,000 hours, but still gets the job done when it comes to building, lifting, and making life on the ranch a whole lot easier.

We’ll take a look at:

A few leaks and quirks we’re working on

How we rebuilt a lift cylinder and what’s still on the fix list

Why the undercarriage is “loosey goosey” but still holding up

How this machine helps us with big builds – including the new Bunky 2.0 cabin project

Old or not, this excavator has been a key player in building our infrastructure out here. Stick around to see it in action as we get ready for another big project on the ranch.
