Volvo EC210B | 2016 | 9,300 Hours | New Pins & Bushings

At Rich Reach, we believe that high‑hour used excavators can still be excellent investments – if the right components have been renewed. This Volvo EC210B is a perfect example. At 9,300 hours, the engine and hydraulics still have plenty of life, and we have just installed brand new pins and bushings throughout the boom, arm, and bucket linkage. This eliminates the “loose” feel typical of high‑hour machines and gives you tight, precise control for thousands more hours. Below we detail the machine, the work done, and why this is a smart buy for budget‑conscious contractors.

Machine Overview

Brand: Volvo
Model: EC210B
Year of Manufacture: 2016
Operating Hours: 9,300 hours (verified, original hour meter)
Serial Number: VCEC2100xxxx (available on request)
Origin: Imported from Europe, maintained in China since 2020

Key Selling Points

✅ Brand New Pins & Bushings – Eliminate Slack

At 9,000+ hours, most excavators develop noticeable play in the boom‑to‑arm joint, arm‑to‑bucket joint, and bucket linkage. This slack reduces digging precision, accelerates wear on other components, and creates noise. We have completely renewed these critical joints in March 2026:

• Boom foot pin & bushing (connection to main frame) – replaced
• Boom‑to‑arm pivot pin & bushing – replaced (most important for digging feel)
• Arm‑to‑bucket pin & bushing – replaced
• Bucket linkage pins (2x) & bushings – replaced
• Bucket cylinder pin – inspected and replaced if worn
All new parts are high‑strength aftermarket (equivalent to Volvo OEM quality). The result: the working end of the machine feels tight and precise, like a machine with half the hours.

✅ Well‑Maintained Engine (Volvo D6E)

The Volvo D6E engine is known for durability. At 9,300 hours, with proper maintenance, it still has 5,000‑7,000 hours of reliable life left. Key engine condition points:

• Cold start: good, minimal white smoke (video available)
• No blow‑by – crankcase pressure normal
• Oil analysis at 9,000 hours shows wear metals within Volvo limits
• Turbocharger: no play, no oil leaks
• No coolant leaks, no oil in coolant – head gasket intact

The engine has never been rebuilt – which is actually a positive sign that it was not abused. Rebuild is not needed until perhaps 15,000 hours.

✅ Hydraulic System – Strong and Leak‑Free

Volvo’s hydraulic system is robust. Our inspection shows:

• Main pump pressure: 33.5 MPa (spec is 34.0) – very close, no significant wear
• Pilot pressure: 3.8 MPa
• All cylinders: no drift when fully extended (tested for 5 minutes)
• No visible hydraulic leaks from hoses or fittings – all hoses are original but in good condition (no cracks). We can replace any suspect hose before shipment if requested.

✅ Undercarriage – Serviceable with 35% Life Remaining

At 9,300 hours, the undercarriage is naturally worn but not finished. This machine was used primarily on soil and gravel, not rock. Condition:

• Track chains: 35% remaining (some stretch, adjusters at 70% extension)
• Sprockets: 30% remaining – will need replacement in ~1,500 hours
• Track rollers: 40% remaining – no flat spots yet
• Carrier rollers: 45% remaining
• Front idlers: 35% remaining
• Track shoes (600mm): 40% remaining, grousers still visible

Based on typical use, you can operate for 1,500‑2,000 hours before undercarriage replacement is mandatory. That is 1‑2 years of work for many contractors. The cost of undercarriage replacement (USD 6,000‑8,000) is more than offset by the low purchase price of this unit.

✅ All Pins & Bushings Renewed – What We Did

Recent Maintenance Performed (March 2026)

CCIC Pre‑Shipment Inspection Results

An independent CCIC inspector verified the following in March 2026:

Operational test:
• Boom up/down: smooth, no hesitation
• Arm in/out: quick response, no drift

• Travel forward/reverse: tracks straight, no pull

Structural condition:
• No cracks on boom, arm, or main frame
• Counterweight intact
• Cab ROPS structure undamaged

Cosmetic:
• Paint fading on hood and boom – typical for age
• Minor surface rust on tie rod – not structural
• Glass: all intact, no cracks

Specifications Summary

• Engine: Volvo D6E, 6‑cylinder turbo (original, no rebuild)
• Engine power: 110 kW (148 HP) at 2,000 rpm
• Bucket capacity: 0.8‑1.1 m³ (1.0 m³ bucket included, 60% teeth wear)
• Max digging depth: 6.7 m
• Max reach: 9.9 m
• Swing speed: 11.4 rpm
• Travel speed: 3.2 / 5.1 km/h

Why Choose This Volvo EC210B?

✅ Tight working end due to new pins & bushings – Many high‑hour machines feel sloppy. This one feels tight, improving operator comfort and productivity.
✅ Low purchase price – Priced at just USD 32,000 (FOB China). That is roughly 80% less than a new equivalent. The undercarriage has some life, and even if you replace it after 1,500 hours, you are still far ahead financially.
✅ Volvo reliability – Volvo EC210B is a well‑known model with good parts availability globally.
✅ Simple, honest machine – No electronics that require dealer programming. Easy for any mechanic to service.
✅ Rich Reach support – We provide full disclosure, on‑site or video inspection, and simple T/T payment. No L/C headaches.

Inspection & Trial – Welcome to Visit or Live Video

We encourage buyers to inspect this machine personally. At our Hefei facility, you can:

• Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises – we guarantee it will sound healthy
• Check the new pins and bushings – wiggle the bucket and arm to feel zero play
• Dig a pile of dirt to test hydraulic power and control precision
• Crawl under to inspect undercarriage yourself

If travel is not possible, we will arrange a live video call and demonstrate all functions. We can even send a pre‑recorded video of the pin & bushing replacement process.
