Alpine Orchard - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22 Buying an Excavator]

an Excavator There is a jingle in the industry, just for reference:

Carter is strong, so he is afraid of the price of oil!

Take it easy, drive Komatsu, for fear that the hard soil will not make it through!

Hitachi’s fuel efficiency is a myth, and it’s terrible to talk about oil spills!

The speed is fast, counting Kobelco, and it will be ruined if the circuit breaks

…

Uncle Wang Yue still has things to deal with. After chatting for a while, he is about to go out.

Tang Xun spread his hands: “I also said that I will buy you a better second-hand excavator. Now I can only go to the second-hand market or buy a new machine.”

“Come with me to see the new machine.” Ye Mo said.

“Let’s go.”

Not far away is the construction machine market, that kind of big market, where all kinds of excavators and bulldozers are sold. Can also be ordered, even customized.

This large area mainly sells large trucks, excavators, bulldozers, tractors, etc. Both new and second hand.

“What size excavator are you going to buy?” Tang Xun asked as the car drove into the market.

“Let’s take a look first.” Ye Mo is going to buy one or two excavators, and then buy a tractor and an external carriage.

In terms of weight, mini excavators below 5 tons belong to small excavators, 5-13 tons belong to small ones, 13-30 tons belong to medium-sized ones, and 30-50 tons belong to large-scale ones. More than 50 tons, belonging to extra large.

Most of the mini excavators are on the market. The second is the small ones…

There are specially marked orchard excavators in the mini excavator. The smallest excavator weighs less than 1 ton, and the cheapest is more than 6,000 yuan.

Such an excavator looks very simple… I

walked around.

Ye Mo took a lot of information on miniature excavators, all of which were big-name excavators, including XCMG, Sany, Kobelco, Kubota, and Yanmar. And I took a few small excavators of more than 5 tons…

I also operated a mini excavator and a small excavator.

Let’s be honest, what big boy doesn’t like an excavator.

Perhaps influenced by Uncle Wang Yue, Ye Mo felt that Kubota’s excavator was the most comfortable.

The engine is quiet and quick to move.

Compared with fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of Kubota excavators is also a little less.

It may be psychological.

“That second-hand Kubota U30 just now cost 190,000 yuan, isn’t it too expensive?” Back in the car, with the air conditioner on, Ye Mo asked without leaving in a hurry, lighting a cigarette for Tang Xun.

“A machine with less than 2,000 hours seems to be new… the price is 190,000, which is about the same. A new machine costs about 300,000. Uncle Wang Yue had one before, and it took seven to eight thousand hours… “Tang Xun said: “I only know superficially about excavators, and I know that Kubota’s excavators keep their value.”

The excavator market I went to just now represents many brands, including Kubota’s excavators.

Ye Mo also saw two second-hand phones. A tiny U30, and an 8-ton-plus KX185 that looked like it had seen better days.

Buying an excavator, because you don’t know how to do it, is more tangled than buying a car.

Go back to the villa, find He Yu, Zhang Wei and the others, and make golden flowers.

After returning home after dinner, Ye Mo went to the mountains to have a look.

The road is already halfway up the mountain.

The newly opened road is shorter than the original dirt road, making the slope more gentle, and it takes a circle to reach the top of the mountain.

…

the next day.

Tang Xun and the others came to Dongmen Town to see the villa next to Tropical Valley.

The villa is very beautiful, but there are many fallen leaves on the road. The villa has not been inhabited for a long time, and it looks a bit desolate.

Ye Mo felt that the transfer price of more than 4 million yuan was a bit high. He could find another piece of land and build a villa. However, there are buildings in the villa, and the location is not bad… If

we really want to build a new villa, more than 4 million yuan is definitely not enough.

“Buy the villa, renovate… the total investment, at least five million or more.” After looking around, Ye Mo pulled Tang Xun and whispered, “How many of you are joint stockholders?”

Many people came today.

Tang Xun, Liang Xin, Zhang Wei, He Yu, and He Yu’s cousin He Li.

“If you don’t invest, then you have five shareholders.” Tang Xun said.

“Five shareholders, how do you make money?” Ye Mo couldn’t help complaining.

They invest here because they are preparing for loans.

“To open a villa, choose a place closer to the city to have business. Dongmen Town is too far away from the city.” Ye Mo persuaded.

He felt that it was not worthwhile to invest five million in a villa in a tourist spot. And it’s not a popular tourist spot…

If you can spend five million to build a villa on the outskirts of the city, that’s not bad.

“Zhang Wei said that there are many tourists here.” Tang Xun also said in a low voice.

“Anyway, I’m not optimistic about it. As for the details, you can decide for yourself. I still have something to do, so I have to go back first.” Ye Mo said in a low voice. They used to be very good buddies, but up to now, Ye Mo has the best relationship with Tang Xun. Others, have not been in touch for many years.

“Okay.”

Ye Mo decided to buy an excavator, and also a tractor. Then the orchard doesn’t need too many concrete roads…

Ye Mo went back to re-plan the orchard roads.

For the re-planned road, 3.65 kilometers of cement road will be built, plus the concrete floor of several warehouses… the total area is 5600 square meters + 4500 square meters.

5600 square meters is the main road from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with a thickness of 15 cm. The length is 1.6 kilometers…

4,500 square meters is the orchard road on the top of the mountain, plus the concrete floor of the warehouse, with a thickness of 12 cm.

10 cm cement road, too thin.

In this way, the cost of the entire cement road can be settled at about 600,000 yuan.

The previous plan had invested too much. It costs one million to build roads. At the same time, the cement road on the top of the mountain, converted into mu, has more than 20 mu of cement road.

The total area of the top of the mountain is about 220 mu.

It took 11 days to build the roadbed.

Ye Mo hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to buy two excavators.

A micro digger and a small digger.

After looking on the Internet for a long time, Kubota has the highest evaluation for micro-excavators, especially the original imported micro-excavators.

But the price is also very impressive.

Like Kubota U15, the weight of the whole machine is 1.75 tons, and the asking price is about 230,000 (including freight).

Domestic products are 10 W cheaper.

Ye Mo searched a lot of information on the Internet, and finally bought two Kubotas.

A U15.

A KX155.

Two machines, U15 imported as a package, 237,000, with bucket and bulldozer.

KX155, domestically produced, weighs 5.2 tons… more than three hundred thousand. Bring two buckets, one big and one small, bulldozing board, tree pulling…

Two buckets, small bucket 0.2 cubic, big bucket 0.33 cubic.

Small buckets are used to dig pits, and large buckets are used to open roads and level the land.

After ordering the excavator, Ye Mo took Ye Ran to learn to drive the excavator and test the operator’s license.

Mini excavators, small excavators, are still very popular in their local area. Especially for orchard land reclamation and road construction.

With hilly terrain and a 20-ton excavator, many places are inconvenient to go to.

Only micro, or small excavators can be used.

Ye Mo bought two excavators at a time, and kept the miniature excavators in his orchard for use. A small excavator that can be driven out to make money. The most important thing is to open up wasteland for your own orchard.

It costs 2,000 yuan a day for Mr. Wang’s excavator to complete the leveling of nearly 200 acres of land… That is a rather huge project.

It’s just that the roadbed is level and the total area is more than 10,000 square meters. It took 11 days and cost more than 20,000 yuan.

Ye Mo’s land reclamation, plus Ye Ran’s 30 mu of sloping land, it is estimated that it will cost more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan to hire someone.
