I Thought This Diesel Mini Excavator Would Fly Under the Radar... I Was Wrong

We're trying to score a steal in a diesel-powered Chinese Mini Excavator! And not just any excavator - an ME20... which apparently is a descendant of the SDLanch SDLE20 excavator. Sounds impossible, right? In this video, we participate in a LIVE online auction where prices, strategy, and timing make all the difference. If you're into Chinese mini excavators, mini skid steers, or affordable heavy equipment, this bidding war is a must-watch! Our primary target: the ME20 mini excavator, powered by a Yanmar diesel engine. Our backup target: the CFG XZ20R mini excavator, powered by a Rato V-twin engine. Watch as we tour one of the auction lots and see one of our target mini excavators in person! Then we compete in an intense 4-day real-time bidding war to get our steal in a budget-friendly compact excavator. Whether you're a contractor, DIY landowner, or someone working on outdoor projects, understanding the online equipment auction process can save you thousands IF you score the right deal. This video covers: A mini tour of Ritchie Bros auction lot to see the CFG XZ20R, CFG QK20R, and the massive SL-V1000 mini skid steer What a Bidding War looks like (because we're in it!)
