Excavator EO-2626 technical characteristics, price, photo and video

The EO-2626 excavator is a multifunctional machine using a four-by-four wheel arrangement. This model combines fairly good technical characteristics, as well as operational and economic indicators. EO-2626 is a kind of hybrid, as it has front loading equipment and rear excavator equipment. Thanks to this, the scope of application was expanded. But it is worth noting that not all tasks are strong enough for this excavator, since it is based on a conventional low-power tractor, but still it copes with its task, namely doing earthmoving work, perfectly. In the basic configuration, the machine has a backhoe bucket and a loading double-jaw front bucket.

Description and features

The equipment can work properly both in normal conditions and even in the most severe ones. Easy start-up of the power plant and proper functioning of all parts and components of the excavator are observed even at fairly low temperatures of minus 40 degrees. In conditions with high temperatures, everything is exactly the same; proper operation of the equipment is observed even in heat of plus 40 degrees. Of course, at present this indicator is not surprising, since all modern equipment has the same values and higher, but if you consider that an ordinary agricultural tractor was taken as the basis, then this definitely deserves a lot of attention.

This model is in high demand and popular on the Russian market, due to many advantages and features. An excavator can cope with almost all tasks, unless, of course, they require high power and lifting capacity of the equipment. If we compare this machine with foreign and domestic similar models, the EO-2626 significantly surpasses them in almost all indicators, which also has a positive effect on the popularity of the model. Also, the equipment turned out to be very universal, namely, it can replace two or more machines, since it has all the additional attachments necessary for this.

In further maintenance, this excavator turned out to be quite simple and unpretentious. Moreover, if we take into account the financial costs of maintaining and repairing the machine, then by these indicators the EO-2626 is the best excavator in its segment. The vehicle's maneuverability is very high, which allows it to carry out any tasks in hard-to-reach places, such as forests, swampy areas, broken roads and other similar off-road conditions.

The key advantages of this excavator include the following:

EO-2626 is very durable and reliable, which has been repeatedly proven by operating conditions.
The excavator is capable of being mounted with a fairly large number of additional attachments, the replacement and installation of which can be done in literally a matter of minutes directly during the work process. Moreover, the ability to install additional units provides the equipment with a significantly expanded scope of application, thereby allowing the machine to perform even more different tasks.
The equipment is also famous for its maintainability, and all spare parts that are most susceptible to wear are widely available and very affordable. In general, repairing a machine will not cause any special financial costs or a long time, due to the fact that all malfunctions that appear during operation can be independently found and eliminated, and there is no need to move the machine to a specialized place for repairs.
All attachments operate from two hydraulic distributors, which allows you to perform any actions with hydraulic controls not only in the cab, but also outside it. This feature is very useful if you need to perform work as accurately and with high precision as possible.
The cabin of the EO-2626 excavator was quite comfortable, spacious, bright and, most importantly, safe. From the operator's workplace, the operator has a wide view of the work area, which was achieved thanks to the large glass area. The front glass has electric washers and wipers. The cabin itself has a powerful heating system that provides comfortable working conditions for the operator in the cold season and a dashboard. Although the dashboard is not modern, it has all the necessary sensors that display basic information during operation.

As described above, this machine is designed to work with a large variety of additional equipment. The excavator is equipped with the following types of attachments:

A front-mounted bucket designed for some digging and loading applications. With such a tool, an excavator is capable of clearing a working area from industrial debris or snow, filling holes and ditches, and often this equipment is also used to create embankments of soil and other bulk materials, and to move various materials over short distances.
Bulldozer type front blade. This equipment is installed optionally and is used for filling trenches and pits, leveling working areas and clearing industrial waste, and performing some tasks of public utilities.
Ordinary earth-moving bucket. This tool is designed to perform almost all earthmoving work, which includes digging pits, excavating soil, loading soil, creating soil embankments and other bulk materials.
Trench bucket. This bucket is primarily designed for digging trenches, but it can also be used for digging small pits.
Hydraulic demolition hammer model NM-120. This unit is indispensable when dismantling concrete or reinforced concrete structures. But besides this, in some cases this hydraulic hammer is used in the field of road repair work, where its main purpose is to open the asphalt layer of road sections.

The EO-2626 excavator is equipped with a four-cylinder diesel power plant of the D-243 brand. This engine was developed by the Minsk Motor Plant and is now often found in many modern domestically produced cars. The engine’s great popularity is due to the fact that it has quite acceptable fuel consumption and good power performance. Its rated output power reaches 60 kilowatts, which translates to 82 horsepower. In addition, this unit is quite easy to maintain and will not cause large expenses; moreover, one of its main advantages is high reliability and endurance. The total displacement of all four cylinders is 4749 cubic meters.

EO-2626 feels confident at temperatures from -40 to +40 degrees and in moderate climates. An excavator is allowed to work with frozen soil above category IV only after preliminary loosening. Thanks to its modern design, special equipment allows you to work with a wide range of interchangeable equipment, making the model even more multifunctional. Thus, the presence of a jaw reloading bucket allows the excavator to be used in construction, reclamation work and in agriculture.

The demand for EO-2626 in the domestic market is explained quite simply. This model easily copes with complex tasks that not all foreign and domestic analogues can do. The unique features of the excavator lie in a completely different approach to the development of equipment. EO-2626 was created as a multifunctional unit, capable of maximally mechanizing simultaneously loading and unloading and earth-moving operations. The creators managed to achieve their intended goal.

In addition, EO-2626 is easy to repair and maintain and has excellent maneuverability, which allows the excavator to be used in off-road conditions. In terms of maintenance and repair costs, special equipment is the best in its class.

Purpose

The versatility of the machine primarily depends on the attachments used, and since this model can use a fairly large number of attachments in the work process, this excavator can truly be called multifunctional special equipment. Thus, the purpose of the EO-2626 excavator-bulldozer is very wide, since it is often used in construction organizations, industrial sectors, public utilities and agriculture, as well as in road repair and reclamation work.

EO-2626 is capable of coping with such types of work as digging trenches and foundation pits; creation of soil embankments; excavation; loading of various materials; moving various loads over short distances; clearing work areas of industrial debris and snow; leveling and preparing the site for construction; loosening of solid masses and frozen soil; filling holes and ditches; dismantling of any concrete or reinforced concrete structures; opening the asphalt layer of road sections and much more.

An old model or a universal assistant in capable hands?

Someone will call the Chelyabinsk single-bucket excavator, or the combined device EO-2626 for loading and excavation work, already morally obsolete. They say that it is difficult for young people to handle because this machine does not have any control electronics and you need to be good at “working with your hands.” At the same time, there are reviews that the backhoe loader behaves well in the hands of an experienced professional worker of the “old school” and “can do anything,” autonomously performing a large number of operations at a site (for example, a construction site). Of the controversial points - plus or minus? – we can also mention the fact that in regions of Russia remote from the center, the EO-2626 is often operated for many years without repair until the hydraulic hoses completely leak, and the machine allows this.

Modifications

The EO-2626 excavator has only one modified version, namely EO-2626-01. Its main differences from the basic one are a more modern design and additional equipment. The manufacturer decided to slightly improve the design, resulting in increased stability when performing earthworks. Also because of this, the overall dimensions were reduced, but it is worth noting that this had a positive effect on the maneuverability of the equipment, since it has now become much more convenient to work in conditions with a small working space.

If EO-2626 was developed for agricultural needs and some construction, then the modification was designed for a wider range, since it was developed specifically for large organizations and industries.

The lifting capacity of the equipment was significantly increased by improving the hydraulic system. The modern “Hidrocontrol” system was also used, which contributed to an increase in the smoothness and accuracy of any actions with attachments.

This excavator is based on the MTZ-92 agricultural tractor, which, unlike the MTZ-82, is capable of withstanding much more loads, which is why the choice was made in favor of the first model.

Device and design

In the basic configuration, the excavator has the following features:

The hydraulic distributor is made in Italy, giving high performance at the same time as smooth operation.
Telescopic device with a shiftable digging axis, which allows you to work even in small areas
Front loader and rear bucket with boom.
The folding direction of excavator equipment is perpendicular to the movement of the machine, reducing the volume of equipment.
Spacious cabin with wide glass area for improved visibility.
Convenient electrically controlled wiper and washer.
Equipped with a heating system for the operator's cabin.

Additionally, EO 2626 can be equipped with equipment for bulldozing work, a hydraulic hammer, a drilling rig, a crane with a hook, etc.

Price

Currently, you can purchase a new EO-2626 excavator at a cost ranging from one million to two million Russian rubles. The final cost of such equipment often changes depending on the year of production of the machine, its configuration (including additional attachments), version (modified or basic), as well as on additional preferences and wishes of the buyer.

There are also a lot of used cars available on the markets, with prices ranging from 750 thousand rubles to one million Russian rubles. The presented price is typical for later models, the technical condition of which is quite good. Early cars with average technical condition will cost from 280 thousand rubles to 645 thousand Russian rubles. Also an important condition on which the cost changes for both options is the number of engine hours worked.

Device

EO-2626 has quite a few advantages due to its design. Among them:

significant endurance, reliability and maneuverability. The excavator, built on the basis of the MTZ-82 chassis, inherited all its advantages. It does not overheat in hot weather, does not get stuck on a muddy area even in poor conditions, and does not stall in dusty air;
considerable cost of work. EO-2626 in terms of performance to operating costs is one of the leaders in its segment;
wide selection of replacement and attachment equipment. In addition to the standard attachment, the EO-2626 can be equipped with a bulldozer blade, a crane with a hook and a hydraulic hammer;
cheap and available spare parts. In 98% of cases, malfunctions and other problems are resolved on site, and the average downtime does not exceed 28 minutes. This significantly reduces lost working time;
the ability to operate equipment from the hydraulic distributor of the excavator and from the hydraulic distributor of the base chassis. The operator can control the equipment outside the operator’s cabin, which is achieved by its “brothers” through the installation of expensive video surveillance systems.

However, EO-2626 also has disadvantages:

It is quite difficult to start the unit in the cold. The excavator, despite the stated -40 degrees, is not designed for operation below -25 degrees;
single ruptures of hydraulic hoses. In most cases, this problem arises due to a violation of the order of preventive examinations;
considerable power of the power plant. special equipment is not designed for lifting heavy loads, but copes with the declared weight quite easily;
hydraulic valve control levers jumping out of their sockets;
difficulty in management. EO-2626 is a simple and cheap technique. It will not require super-skills from the operator, but extreme composure and ingenuity are required here.

The excavator is equipped with a bright and spacious operator's cabin of a safe design, characterized by good visibility. It contains a washer, a heating system, an electric windshield wiper and an instrument panel with indicators and instruments that allow you to control the operation of equipment systems.

Price of new and used backhoe loader EO-2626

The new EO-2626 will cost 1.2-1.5 million rubles, depending on the modification. Used options in good condition can be purchased for 800-900 thousand rubles.
