Irrespective of you having a start-up construction business or have being running it since a long time, the pre-requisite of any successful business is good construction machinery. The skills of the workers also play a role in shaping up your business but more importantly it’s the kind of machines you have that indicates where your business will be in the next few years. Alternatively, you also have to keep on upgrading your heavy equipments which largely depends on what kind of system the operator needs to get the work done. Engineers of heavy equipment manufacturing companies are working hard to bring innovative changes in the technology of the machines which in turn would be helpful to the operators.

Buying construction machinery equipments largely depends upon the kind of project you are into and if at all the operator can comfortably operate the machine. Below are some points which suggest when you should go for buying heavy equipments.

You company’s finances are in order:-  Important financial decisions can be taken only if the financial situation of the company is well in order. If you have just started up with a construction company, it’s advisable not to go for a buying spree. That will not only hurt your company’s finances but will also deter you to invest any further in upcoming projects which in turn will result in huge losses for the company.

Out of projects:-  New entrepreneurs often commit the mistake of buying heavy equipments and keeping their guns ready to fire. However, it gets too late for them to realize that they don’t have any projects with them and have to pay monthly installments to the bank, failing which the bank may confiscate the equipment. Hence, it is recommended that one should not jump into starting up their own business as long as they have not earned some level of maturity and a bit of knowledge in their respective domain.

Using alternatives:-  Buying is perhaps not the best available option when you have other option at your disposal. It makes more sense to take the equipments on rent rather than spending a fortune to buy them. The moment you bag a project, the next thing would be to begin taking heavy equipments on rent. You’ll find plenty of people willing to give the machines on rent. Make use of those opportunities and try to save your money for expanding your business.

Do some research before you finally decide to buy:-  This point is applicable for companies who are in this industry for a span of 5 years or more. They might be pretty settled as far as their business is concerned and can look for avenues to buy brand new and technologically advanced heavy equipments. It’s rather imperative for them to do a thorough market research and check which heavy equipment would apt for their project. Also check if buying them directly from the company would be advantageous or simply shopping it from the dealer would help them get more discounts. Also, look for other avenues before taking the final call for buying construction machinery equipment.

We would be discussing the excavators manufactured by John Deere, speaking in details of its features, durability and efficiency.

John Deere has produced excavators of various models and they claim that each of their machine irrespective of the models they belong to have the sufficient degree of power and conviction to get the work done and can be relied onto with utter trust. The kind of productivity one can get from their excavator is unquestionable. Over the years, they have proved their metal in the heavy equipment industry and have won the confidence of all the contractors thus making them loyal to the brand.

John Deer’s 85D excavator is one such machine which is highly accepted and used by major contractors and big time construction companies. It is provided with a “heavy duty cooling system” which keeps things cool in the machine even when it’s operating in rough terrain or at high altitudes. The cabin given to the operator is quite roomy and has the comfort to move him without getting in contact with any levers lying around him. This also protects him from committing an accident in the workplace.

Some features of John Deer’s excavators are as follows:-

  • The swing boom provided to it can burrow parallel to walls, fences and roads. The sharp edges of the blade can easily dig the earth and make a hole by taking off the mud from there.
  • The machine can rotate 360 degree which allows it the flexibility to manoeuvre in highly confined places. Anything else than an excavator would find it difficult to work in extreme tight spaces.
  • It has those rubber pads at the bottom which helps it to move across concrete and thorny places without any dent.
  • It has been empowered with hydraulic engines which not only increases its power output but also saves on fuel and still outperforms as compared to machines of other companies.
  • It has those “box-constructed internal blade” that works great for grading and filling the mud in the bucket.
  • The levers installed in the cabin are well lubricated and can be moved with ease even though the machine is doing a back breaking laborious task.

Other reputed companies also have similar features that are offered by John Deere. However, the fact remains that the machines produced by John Deere has a longer life and doesn’t come up with chronic problems if it’s serviced at regular intervals.
