Over · Yanmar SV100Overzicht
The Yanmar SV100 is a midi/large mini-excavator positioned at the upper end of the compact excavator class, offering a machine weight and digging performance that bridges the gap between conventional mini-excavators and full-size short-radius models. It is designed for demanding excavation work where a compact footprint must coexist with genuine production capacity. The SV100 carries Yanmar's established reputation for engine reliability and fuel efficiency, attributes consistently associated with the brand across its excavator range.
Typische toepassingenWaar deze machine wordt gebruikt
The SV100 class is well suited to utility trenching, foundation work, and site preparation on projects where access is restricted but cycle times and bucket capacity must remain competitive with larger equipment. Road and infrastructure contractors use machines in this weight class for drainage installation, kerbing, and confined urban dig-and-fill cycles. Landscaping and groundworks firms select the category when ground conditions or site logistics prevent the deployment of conventional 13-to-20-tonne excavators.
Tweedehandsmarkt inspectieWat je moet controleren voordat je koopt
Inspectors should prioritise undercarriage assessment on any used SV100, examining track tension, rubber or steel track wear, roller and idler condition, and final-drive seal integrity, as undercarriage refurbishment represents a significant cost in this machine class. The hydraulic system warrants close attention: check all auxiliary circuits for correct pressure and flow, inspect hose routing for chafing particularly around the offset boom pivot if fitted, and request a bucket curl and stick curl cycle under load. Engine oil condition, coolant clarity, and the absence of blow-by are baseline checks appropriate to any Yanmar-powered machine. Review the service record for filter and fluid change intervals, and confirm that any quick-coupler or tilt-rotator installation was carried out with appropriate hydraulic sizing. Cab and ROPS/TOPS structure should be inspected for collision damage that may not be visible under paint, and all safety devices including overload warning systems and travel alarms should be verified as operational before purchase.

Within the upper mini-excavator segment the SV100 is cross-shopped primarily against the Kubota KX080, the Takeuchi TB290, the Volvo ECR88, and the Hitachi ZX85. Relative to the Kubota KX080 and Takeuchi TB290, the Yanmar brand is perceived as a specialist choice with strong engine pedigree, while the Volvo ECR88 and Hitachi ZX85 carry larger dealer network advantages in certain markets. Within any given price band, the attributes that move a used SV100 are accumulated hours, service history documentation, the presence of a quick-coupler system, the number and type of hydraulic circuits available for attachments, undercarriage condition including track and roller wear, cab configuration, and whether a factory blade or offset boom is fitted. Machines with a full attachment package and demonstrable scheduled maintenance consistently occupy the stronger end of their band, while high-hours units with worn undercarriages and no service records settle toward the lower end regardless of cosmetic condition.
