What the specifications mean

The published SVL97-2 values remain attached to their stated configuration and rating basis.

An individual machine must be verified by serial/PIN, installed equipment and actual measurements.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.

Used SVL97-2 inspection priorities

Inspect tracks, sprockets, rollers, idlers and final drives as one wear system.
Check lift arms, coupler locks, cylinders, frame and tower repairs.
Load-test standard or high-flow hydraulics and cooling when equipped.
Match the SVL97-2 model plate, fitted equipment and serial/PIN to the cited generation and configuration.

Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.

Hours, condition and ownership cost

Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.

Cost drivers to model

Undercarriage life and debris exposure can dominate near-term cost.
High-flow tools change fuel, heat rejection and wear.
Counterweights, cab, controls and technology affect value and transport.
