Buyer and seller deal with each other. After you call the owner, you agree the price, the inspection and the pickup, and you pay the owner. The website charges the buyer nothing.
Residential site-work firms feeding the north and west subdivisions are the core. Utility contractors laying water and sewer lines need mid-size crawlers. Small outfits clear brush and cut ranch roads in the Hill Country, and some buy used to rent out by the day.
Compact machines fit narrow work. The workhorse is the midsize crawler, and larger models serve highways and commercial pads. Wheeled excavators roll between stops on pavement. A long-reach boom suits creeks and drainage channels.
Much of the area's ground is stony, so check that the hydraulics have an auxiliary circuit for a breaker and a coupler for quick bucket changes. Buckets that match the soil, from a wide ditching bucket to a heavy rock bucket, make the same machine more useful. Pick an operating weight close to your typical job: oversize units cost more to haul, burn more fuel and are harder to site.
Compare the hour meter with the wear on pins, bushings, teeth and track links. Look for leaks at cylinders, play in the swing bearing, and cracks around the boom foot. Ask for service records and watch it dig and swing under load. If you are unsure about owning, rent an excavator in San Antonio for the first job.
