Hymac 370C – British tracked excavator from Wales with a water-cooled diesel engine, a further development of the earlier Hymac 370
Hymac was a British hydraulic-excavator manufacturer that, based in Wales, was among the early pioneers of this design as hydraulically driven tracked excavators increasingly displaced cable-operated shovels during the 1960s and 1970s. The 370C recorded here is a further development of the Hymac 370: the letter C denotes the revised version of this range, built on the base model.

The 370C is powered by a water-cooled diesel engine that drives the tracked undercarriage as well as the boom, arm and bucket through the hydraulic system.
As a tracked excavator, the 370C is built for digging work where stability and breakout force matter more than road ability: the tracked drive spreads the machine's weight over a large contact area, allowing work on soft or uneven ground where a wheeled machine would sink in. To move between job sites, however, the machine must be transported on a low-loader, since tracked excavators are not road-legal.
When buying such an old, long-discontinued range used, the condition of the tracked undercarriage matters most: track tension and wear on rollers, track links and drive wheels are the most expensive wear points. The engine radiator and water pipes should be checked for tightness, and spare parts for a brand long gone from the market can practically only be sourced through specialist remanufacturers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
