TRUST answer
Used, refurbished or reconditioned: what is the difference?
Verify the hour meter from evidence, not from the number on the dashboard. A used machine is sold as inspected: photos, a cold-start video, the dashboard reading and the wear pattern on the undercarriage should all agree.

Three checks that do not depend on trust
- The dashboard photo and the video must show the same reading. Ask for both in one take.
- The wear on the undercarriage, bucket and pins should match the hours. A 12,000-hour machine does not have a new undercarriage unless it was replaced, and that should be stated.
- Service records and the machine plate should agree on model and serial number.
Used means the machine is sold as inspected, in its current condition. Refurbished means worn parts were replaced before sale, and the replaced parts should be listed. Reconditioned usually means a workshop rebuild to a stated standard - ask for the standard. If a seller cannot tell you which of the three applies, that is the answer.

Common questions
Can the hour meter be rolled back?
It can be manipulated on many machines, which is why we verify with the dashboard video, the wear pattern and the service record together. A single number is not evidence.
Do you sell refurbished machines as used?
No. If parts were replaced, the replaced parts are listed in the unit description. Used, refurbished and reconditioned are stated separately.
Is there a warranty?
Warranty varies by machine and is written into the contract. Where it is included, the parts covered and the period are stated in writing.
