You guys have been top notch for me every time. I’ve been the maintenance director at 2 different facilities where I have used your services on our generators. This time a tech came out for again another generator. The techs name was Eric, he did an awesome job and was great to talk with. I will absolutely request him for service from now on. The personal factor is huge for me while doing business since my industry is long term care. Thanks for great service as always!

This is a great piece of equipment. Kevin Peeler is very knowledgeable and made the process easy. We actually didn’t meet until he drove on the job site with my Takeuchi TL6. He earned my confidence over the phone.

Jenny was the best, answered questions on several calls that other dealers could not. I live in KC and shopped auctions, dealers nationwide, Facebook market place. Got my best deal on my TL12V2 machine from Luby with extended warranty. Drove to Fenton and picked up machine. Machine was as described and ready to go as promised. Jenny’s friendliness and listening to my wants sold me! Her boss should give her a raise thanks again!

This was my first experience with Luby Equipment. Jenny Swafford was my sales person. She promptly made a deal with me working out the transportation and all the details. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me many detailed pictures of the piece of equipment. I do many deals in my line of work and I can tell you she is among the best. I would do business again and hope I can. My experience with Lubys has been the best. I could not be happier. Good job Jenny I wish there were more like you doing business would be a much funner experience. Mike.

Advantages of Buying a New CASE Excavator
Popular New CASE Excavator Models
CASE CX140E – A mid-sized excavator with advanced hydraulics and fuel efficiency.
CASE WX160E – Designed for high-performance digging and lifting in demanding job sites.
CASE CX245D SR – A short-radius excavator for working in confined spaces.
1. Latest Technology & Features
New CASE excavators come equipped with the latest technology, including advanced hydraulics, improved fuel efficiency, and smart operator controls. Features such as precision GPS systems and telematics can enhance productivity and reduce operating costs.
2. Manufacturer Warranty & Support
Purchasing a new CASE excavator includes a factory warranty, which provides peace of mind in case of unexpected issues. New equipment also comes with dealer support, software updates, and service plans, ensuring your machine stays in optimal condition.
New models meet the latest EPA emissions regulations and often have more fuel-efficient engines, reducing operating costs over time. These improvements contribute to lower carbon footprints and compliance with stricter environmental standards.
4. Customization & Availability
Buying new lets you choose specific models, configurations, and attachments that best suit your needs. You won’t have to compromise on features or retrofits, ensuring your equipment is optimized for your business from day one.
5. Reduced Maintenance & Downtime
New CASE excavators come with zero wear and tear, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and costly repairs in the first few years. You get a machine ready to work without needing immediate part replacements or refurbishments.
Advantages of Buying a Used CASE Excavator
Popular Used CASE Excavator Models
CASE CX75C SR – A compact, fuel-efficient model ideal for smaller jobs.
CASE CX160D – A powerful and efficient mid-sized excavator with strong lifting capabilities.
CASE CX210D – A powerful excavator known for reliability and durability in harsh conditions.
1. Lower Initial Cost
One of the most significant benefits of buying a used excavator is the lower upfront cost. A pre-owned machine can save you thousands of dollars, allowing you to allocate more of your budget to other business expenses, such as attachments or additional equipment.
2. Avoiding Depreciation
New excavators experience rapid depreciation in the first few years. By purchasing used, you avoid this initial drop in value while still getting a high-performing machine. This can be an advantage if you plan to resell the equipment later.
3. Faster Availability
Unlike new models with long lead times or production delays, used excavators are often immediately available from dealerships or private sellers. This is particularly beneficial if you need equipment quickly for a job.
4. Proven Performance & Reliability
Well-maintained usedCASE excavators have a track record of performance, giving you confidence in their durability. Many pre-owned machines come with detailed service records, so you can evaluate their condition before purchasing.
5. Access to Older Models
Some older CASE excavator models may have features or specifications that work better for your job site conditions. Buying used allows you to find models that are no longer in production but still effectively meet your needs.
Key Considerations When Buying New vs. Used
Budget & Financing
New CASE excavators come with higher upfront costs but offer financing options that make them more accessible.
Used excavators require a lower initial investment, but interest rates on used equipment loans may be higher than on new models.
Maintenance & Repairs
New equipment requires less maintenance and includes a warranty, reducing repair costs early on.
Used equipment may need more frequent servicing and could require parts replacements sooner than a new model.
Expected Usage & Workload
A new model may be the best option if you need an excavator for long-term, heavy-duty use.
A used excavator can provide excellent value if your workload is less demanding or short-term.
Resale Value
A new excavator loses value faster in the first few years.
A used excavator, especially if well-maintained, holds its value better and may have a higher resale percentage relative to its purchase price.
Which One Should You Buy?
If you need a cutting-edge, reliable machine with minimal maintenance concerns, a new CASE excavator is an excellent investment for long-term productivity. However, a used CASE excavator may be the better choice if your priority is cost savings, immediate availability, and proven reliability.
