In fact, this point is not a good idea. More than 80% of excavator buyers will not buy it.
The users who watch the excavator between 2:00-3:30 in the afternoon have the greatest chance of making a deal. This part of users does not have too long to test the excavator. When there is no major problem with the excavator as a whole, ordinary customers consider payment and logistics; and this time period can reflect the performance of the amphibious excavator.
