Hey folks,

I found a John Deere 135G excavator while searching for used heavy equipment in Texas. After a few hours of operation, some operators reported that the boom began to jerk a little. Although I am aware that the machine is reliable overall, does the hydraulic jerking actually reduce output or increase maintenance costs?

If not this model, then which excavator would you guys recommend for small to medium projects? I want something reliable without facing constant hydraulic issues. Any advice from people who have bought used equipment in Texas would be super helpful!
