When we are asking ourselves the all important question “how can I find a Takeuchi dealer near me?”, there are a number of answers that pop into our heads almost immediately. Finding the right one is crucial. So what are the things that we need to look for in a Takeuchi dealer near us and how can we avoid the “woe is me” stories?
By taking a closer look at the following guide, of course. Those who take the time to read on and learn more about the things that we need to look for when the “how do I find a Takeuchi dealer near me?” comes up are able to experience a far greater level of success than their less proactive counterparts.
1) The Fluids
Once we have found a piece of equipment that we like, it is time to take a more in depth look. The first area that needs to be explored are the fluids. The hydraulic fluid, engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid must all be checked. This provides us with the insight that we need into the current level of functionality and also provides us with a clearer picture of everything that the machine has been through in the past.
2) Number of Hours Operated
There may be some pieces of used equipment that appear to be older than others and while they may not seem as intriguing as a newer item, this does not mean that they have the same level of wear and tear. It is up to the client to find out more about the hours of operation for each item. If the item has been used in a less arduous manner, we are more likely to experience the desired results than if we selected an item that is overused.
3) Maintenance Records
A failure to take a closer look at the maintenance records of the equipment that we are selecting is one of the most common mistakes that is made. That is why we need to remedy these types of issues by taking a long and hard look at the maintenance records before it is too late. Don’t allow yourself to make one of the most obvious mistakes of all by not taking time out to read over the maintenance records in full. A refusal to provide them means that we need to take our business elsewhere.
4) Noticeable Signs of Wear and Tear
This is another obvious area that would be buyers do not always pay close attention to. If the equipment already has noticeable signs of wear and tear, then guess what? This piece of equipment is not going to withstand much more pounding and we should probably be looking elsewhere. Check the undercarriage of the equipment and the tires. In many cases, the seller is not expecting us to look in this area.
5) An Engine That Runs Well
Buying or renting a piece of construction equipment before we have taken the time to learn more about the engine is a fool’s errand at best and a horrific decision at worst. Before we leave the seller, it is time to turn on the engine and make sure that it is in good running order.
