For sale: 1997 Caterpillar 325BL excavator. I’ve owned this machine for approximately 8 years, and it has been a very dependable, tight, and strong-running machine. It runs and operates excellent and has been well maintained its entire life.

This excavator was previously owned by two owner-operators who used it for pipeline work and took great care of it. I’ve maintained it the same way. It has been serviced regularly, greased daily, and has approximately 50 hours or less since its last full service (I can confirm exact hours from records). Some service records are available.

Key Details: • Approx. 60,000 lbs operating weight • Very tight machine with a solid undercarriage • Uses very little oil • Runs cool even on the hottest days • No A/C • Thumb included (as shown in pictures) • Almost new batteries, muffler, computer, throttle actuator, and cable Buckets: • 56” bucket included (your choice of bucket in the listed price) • Also available: 24”, 42”, and 70” ditching bucket • Option to purchase all four buckets for additional cost This is a stout, dependable machine that will work all day long. It would make an excellent farm machine or handle commercial jobs with ease.

Can I review inspection photos and a condition report before I buy?

Yes. Listings include detailed photos and, when available, an inspection or condition summary so you can see wear, leaks, undercarriage, and cab condition. Ask your representative for the latest meter reading and any service records the seller can provide—hours and condition are often verified at listing time but can change.

Do you arrange shipping or delivery?

Shipping and logistics are often available nationwide through vetted transport partners. Cost depends on distance, dimensions, weight, and whether the machine is running and load-ready. Your sales representative can quote options and timing; pickup at the equipment location may also be arranged where allowed.

How accurate is the hour meter, and can I verify it?

Published hours reflect the last reported reading on the machine or in available documentation. Meters can be replaced or incorrect; we recommend confirming hours with your own inspection or a qualified technician before purchase. Ask whether an ECM or telematics readout is available for your unit.

Is the machine sold as-is, and is there a warranty?

Used heavy equipment is often sold as-is, where-is, unless a separate written warranty or service plan is offered on your specific deal. Remaining manufacturer or extended coverage, if any, may be transferable—confirm in writing. Always review the purchase agreement and inspection terms before committing.

What paperwork should I expect (title, lien release, export)?

Expect a bill of sale and any title or ownership documents required in your state or country. If the unit was financed, ensure lien release is documented. For export, additional customs, EPA, or certification paperwork may apply—your representative can flag what is needed for your destination.

Eligible businesses may reduce taxable income faster by depreciating qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service (rules vary by entity and tax year). This is not tax advice—the figure below is an illustrative savings estimate only; consult your accountant.
