CMEC Inc. Relies on Kobelco Excavators and
Hayden Machinery for
Site Development Work
For CMEC Inc., a site development and commercial contracting company based in Belle, Missouri, dependable equipment and a reliable dealer relationship are essential to getting the job done.
Owned by Justin Smith, CMEC has been in business since approximately 1999, handling site development projects primarily throughout Missouri, with occasional work in neighboring states for commercial projects and developers they partner with.
Since 2014, CMEC has relied on Kobelco excavators for its work, building a fleet and a lasting relationship with Hayden Machinery along the way.
A Proven Track Record with Kobelco Excavators
Over the years, CMEC has continued to invest in Kobelco excavators, including its third Kobelco 140 and second Kobelco 210. For Justin, that repeat investment comes down to the machines' reliability, efficiency, and resale value.
“These are pretty much bulletproof. We’ve had good luck with them. They’re efficient, the resale is good on them, and we’ve really got to where we like them,” Justin said.
For a contractor managing a variety of site
development projects, equipment needs to deliver
consistent performance in the field. CMEC's
experience with Kobelco has made the excavators a
dependable part of its operation.
That history of positive results has helped reinforce the company's decision to continue running Kobelco
equipment.
A Dealer Relationship Built on Follow-through
CMEC's relationship with Hayden Machinery goes back even further than its Kobelco purchases
in 2014. Over the years, the team has become a trusted resource when equipment needs arise
or a project calls for something specific.
“Whenever we need something, we know that we can count on them to get it and follow through
and help us with whatever we need,” Justin said.
That commitment matters when contractors are balancing schedules, managing jobsites, and
looking for equipment solutions that fit their needs. Having a dealer who listens, follows through,
and works to find the right answer can make a real difference.
For Justin, the continued relationship speaks for itself.
Finding the Right Attachment for the Job
One recent example of Hayden Machinery's support involved CMEC's search for a new attachment setup. The company wanted to add either a rotating or tilting coupler and bucket but needed help determining the right solution for its work.
The search coincided with CONEXPO, giving the team an opportunity to explore available options. CMEC's sales representative, Jeremy Hancock, took the lead in helping Justin find an attachment that matched what he was trying to accomplish.
According to Justin, Jeremy stayed on the search until he found the right fit, working through the available options to help CMEC end up with a solution it could feel confident about.
When a contractor has a specific need, finding the right attachment involves more than simply
locating a product. It takes an understanding of the application, a willingness to explore options,
and follow-through to make sure the final solution meets expectations.
Justin appreciated the effort Jeremy put into the process and expects the new attachment to be
a valuable addition to the operation.
A Partnership That Continues to Deliver
For CMEC Inc., the combination of dependable Kobelco excavators and responsive support
from Hayden Machinery has helped build a relationship that continues to last.
From purchasing excavators to tracking down the right attachment, Justin knows he has a team
he can turn to when his business needs equipment or support.
“Working with Hayden Machinery has been great,” Justin said.
As CMEC continues its site development and commercial contracting work, the company can build on years of experience with Kobelco equipment and a dealer relationship centered on finding solutions and following through.
Hayden Machinery thanks Justin Smith and the CMEC Inc. team for their continued trust and partnership.
