Michigan – other models: the collective page of construction machines built in Argentina, MP45 (skid-steer loader), W 100/30 and W 100/30 HD (backhoe loaders) outside the named ranges, Cummins and Hanomag diesel engines

This page gathers three Michigan construction machines built in Argentina that the register could not assign to a named range: the skid-steer loader MP45 and the backhoe loaders W 100/30 and W 100/30 HD. The Michigan brand traces back to the construction equipment maker Clark Equipment of Benton Harbor, Michigan, which sold wheel loaders and backhoe loaders under that name; the machines recorded here were built under licence or by Argentine partners, with engines from the maker Dowel based on Hanomag design alongside Cummins units.

The register lists here 3 versions with 37 to 75 kW, or 50 to 100 hp; all three run on diesel.

Argentine production of Michigan construction machines supplied mainly the South American market, where US construction equipment brands were often sold through local licensed production rather than direct import because of import restrictions and tariffs.

When buying used, what counts on these machines is the condition of the backhoe arm, loader bucket and stabilisers, the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders, and the condition of the undercarriage and tyres; on the licence-built engines based on Hanomag design, it is worth carefully checking local parts availability, as they can differ from the original Hanomag units. Parts for the Cummins engines, by contrast, are widely available internationally.
