I hope Sany America makes you a key spokeswoman for their entire product line, i use your videos🤩 in most of my sales here in Canada, keep up the great work Liz and Wyatt!

Always enjoy when someone can present information without reading from a teleprompter. No one enjoys being read to. Fantastic job. You have a real talent. I’ll be purchasing the SY35U in about 60 days. I can do everything I need to with that machine. I wish you were in San Antonio TX area. I’d give you my business for sure.

Great job Liz! You did a fantastic job as always.

I am interested in buying a mini ex. This was a really good, informative video.

Wyatt, I appreciate his videos very much. I show my customer your videos. Wyatt, if you could speak a little more slowly and enunciate words, that would be very helpful for my customer. I appreciate Liz very much. Great comparison. Thank you guys!

I have researched mini excavators and down to two choices. The Sany SY35c and The Case CX37c. I looked at all the rest and these two were my favorites.

On a SY16- is the aux hydraulic control via a foot control or a hand control? The Bobcat E20 has a nice little switch on the hand control to activate things like a hydraulic thumb etc. thanks.

crazy good video / photography quality

[pingpong]

There is a plate tack welded under the oil pan drain bolt on the 26U - is that meant to be removed? Would be really messy to change oil with that left in place. Please let us know.

Just don’t buy one at an auction non-transferable warranty

[foxz]

Just never buy one from an auction and then expect Sany to stand behind their product. They will leave you high and dry. Go CAT.
