Chinese equipment auctions have changed a LOT over the last few years.

Not long ago these auction yards were packed with mini excavators, mini skid steers, dumpers, and brand new imported machines everywhere you looked. Now? A lot of those machines are disappearing, and the auctions are filling up with attachments, tools, and random equipment instead.

In this video I walk through the auction yard and show you what I’m seeing firsthand, why I think things are changing, and what may be happening with Chinese equipment imports and dealerships.

Are the cheap mini excavators drying up? Is the Chinese equipment boom slowing down? Let me know what you’re seeing in your area.
