2022 Hitachi ZX225 Excavator - 3,528 Hours - Tier 1 - Steelwrist 90mm Tilt Rotator - 3D Machine Control GPS

2022 Hitachi ZX225. Tracked excavator, 22-tonne class. Isuzu engine, vendor advises 122 kW (164 hp). Tier 1. 3,528 hours.



Description

The Hitachi ZX225 sits in the 22-tonne class and is one of the most versatile civil excavators in the Australian market. This is a 2022 build with vendor advised Tier 1 specification, meaning no DPF, SCR, or DEF. Sub-model to be confirmed from data plate at inspection. The machine was HCMA (Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia) dealer serviced, with the last service completed at 3,009 hours on 22 August 2025.



The attachment package is where this machine separates itself. A Steelwrist 90mm tilt rotator is fitted with the Steelwrist X-Control S2 display active in the cab, confirmed operational from photos. A full 3D machine control GPS system with SATEL RTK radio modem is also fitted, confirmed active and displaying live position data. The Steelwrist alone is worth $40,000 to $60,000 new. The 3D GPS system with RTK is another $15,000 to $25,000. That is $55,000 to $85,000 in technology and attachments bolted to a low-hour Tier 1 Hitachi. A mud bucket is included. The civil spec fitout covers safety handrails and walkways, fire extinguisher, mushroom-head emergency stop, UHF CB radio, LED light bar, rear camera, labelled recovery tow point, and first aid kit. Cab is in good order with no cracked glass, all controls functional, air suspension seat, and auxiliary hydraulic circuit with thumbwheel on right joystick. Engine bay is clean with no visible leaks. Hitachi oil filter appears recently changed. Undercarriage shows moderate wear consistent with the hours with good remaining life.



At 3,528 hours on a 2022 build, this machine is early in its working life. For a 22-tonne Hitachi, you would typically expect 8,000 to 12,000 hours before any major spend. Comparable bare ZX225 units at this age and hours sit $175,000 to $215,000 plus GST. Add the Steelwrist and GPS package and the all-in value sits comfortably at $220,000 to $270,000 plus GST. New replacement cost for the machine alone is $300,000 to $380,000 plus GST before you bolt on the attachments. This is a genuine package deal for a civil contractor who wants to hit the ground running with machine control from day one.
