The SH145X-6 is Sumitomo's short-tail-swing machine at the mid-weight end of the excavator market, sold in Australia through a national distributor rather than the big dealer networks. It suits civil and urban contractors working beside traffic or against boundaries, where reduced counterweight overhang matters more than outright size. Used examples are typically blade-equipped on steel tracks with the standard arm; some come piped for hammers or tilting hitches, and attachment packages shift value noticeably. Because Sumitomo sells in smaller volumes here than the major Japanese brands, the used pool is thin and concentrated on the east coast, and asking prices spread widely for a given age — hours, undercarriage wear and condition drive value more than build date. Buyers should verify service history on the diesel particulate aftertreatment and confirm parts support in their region before committing.

What Moves the Price
Hitch + bucket set
A hydraulic hitch with a proper bucket set is the single biggest add. Machines sold bare consistently land at the low end of the range.
Low hours for age
Well under average annual hours reads as a weekend machine. Buyers pay a visible premium over the same year at contractor hours.
Auction vs dealer
Auction is the floor of the market. Dealer and private sales recover most of the gap — at the cost of time and effort.
Tracks & condition
Worn rubber tracks and tired pins get quoted straight off the asking price — buyers price the fix before they price the machine.
