XCMG XE650GK 65-Tonne Excavator: Specs, Configurations & Quote Guide
Published specifications, bucket and breaker configurations, and the unit-level details that decide the price of a 65-tonne crawler excavator.

A used XCMG XE650GK is a 65-tonne class crawler excavator built for open-pit mining and large earthmoving. Its 563 kW engine, 4.0 m³ rock bucket, and 70-tonne-class hydraulic and undercarriage package define the machine’s role: buyers care about cycle time and structural durability, not travel speed. SHUNFA Machinery has exported used construction equipment from China for 35 years. This guide covers the published specifications, the configurations that change a unit’s value, and the information needed for an accurate quote.
Core specifications
| Item | XE650GK |
|---|---|
| Operating weight | 65,000 kg (XCMG sheet); 64,800 kg on some export sheets |
| Standard bucket | 4.0 m³ |
| Engine | Cummins 15 L, 6-cylinder |
| Rated power | 563 kW at 2,000 rpm |
| Bucket / arm digging force | 362 / 310 kN (some export sheets list 382 kN for the bucket) |
| Travel speed | 4.5 / 2.7 km/h |
| Ground pressure | 105 kPa |
| Overall length / width / height | 12,900 / 4,005 / 4,430 mm |
| Max. digging reach / depth | 12,240 / 6,710 mm |
| Max. digging height / dumping height | 11,410 / 7,455 mm |
The 2,000 kg difference between the two operating weights comes from bucket size, track shoe width, counterweight and attachment package, not from a different tonnage class. Digging force shows the same pattern: XCMG’s Chinese specification page lists 362 kN, while some export brochures quote 382 kN. When comparing listings, treat both as nominal figures and check the machine’s plate and brochure rather than assuming one unit is faulty because the numbers differ.
Configurations that change the value
The XE650GK normally uses a 7,100 mm boom with a 2,900 mm arm, which produces the 12,240 mm maximum reach and 6,710 mm maximum depth above. A shorter arm raises breakout force and reduces reach. That suits hard-rock loading, not deep trench work.
Buckets run from the standard 4.0 m³ rock bucket to a 4.5 m³ unit on some export configurations. The production gain depends on the material. Loose material favours the larger bucket; abrasive rock usually makes the 4.0 m³ bucket with reinforced wear plates the more economical choice.
The machine can carry piping for a 210 or 215 class hydraulic breaker. The auxiliary circuit is not equivalent to a hose added in the workshop: the valve block, return line and cooling capacity must be sized for continuous hammer work. A used unit described as breaker-ready should be checked for the complete circuit.
Domestic-market XE650GK units from the China IV period use an after-treatment system, while export versions vary by destination and year. The engine plate and emission marking belong in the quote because they determine whether the machine can be registered at the destination port. Track shoe width, cab specification and rear-view camera are smaller line items that still affect the total.
What the figures mean in the field
The 563 kW rating comes from a 14.5 L Cummins engine tuned for low-speed torque rather than high-rpm peak power. Dealer data lists 2,900 N·m at 1,200 rpm, which explains why the machine pulls a rock bucket without constant downshifting. XCMG pairs the engine with Kawasaki large-displacement main pumps and a large-bore electronically controlled main valve, a hydraulic package sized closer to the 70-tonne class.
The undercarriage follows the same logic. A 2,900 mm track gauge, 600 mm shoes and a welded integrated lower frame hold ground pressure at 105 kPa. That is stable on a bench and on compacted haul roads, but it is not a soft-ground undercarriage. The 4,005 mm overall width also means the machine moves on a lowbed or as break-bulk cargo rather than walking between distant sites.
Cooling matters in hot markets. The full-parallel radiator uses two independent cooling motors, and XCMG rates the machine for 50°C ambient operation. For buyers in Africa, the Middle East and South America, radiator core and fan drive condition deserve the same attention as the engine.
Used units: condition sets the quote
A specification sheet describes what the machine was designed to do; an inspection report describes what it can still do. Our six-stage inspection begins with the serial number and hour meter, because year and service history set the baseline for every other number in the quote. Cold start, idle and full-load tests follow, with fault codes, oil pressure and coolant temperature recorded.
Hydraulics carry the largest financial risk. Main pump pressure is measured against the OEM specification, cylinders and hoses are checked for leaks under load, and boom, arm and bucket cycle times are recorded. Undercarriage comes next: track shoe height, link wear, roller and idler play, and sprocket condition. A full undercarriage replacement on a 65-tonne machine is a significant cost, so wear should be visible in the price rather than discovered after delivery.
Structural repairs are the item buyers most often miss. Boom and arm cracks, repaired welds on the main frame and counterweight damage affect both safety and resale value. After the function and load tests, we provide an inspection report, 40 to 60 photographs and a 2 to 3 minute walkaround video before the buyer pays a deposit.
What to send for a quote
A used XE650GK does not have a model price, only a unit price. Two machines of the same year can differ by the cost of a bucket because of hours, undercarriage and hydraulic condition. An inquiry should include the destination port, the required emission standard, the working application, the preferred bucket and attachment package, and any third-party inspection or certification requirement.
We quote against a specific machine and itemise the unit price, inspection, freight, insurance and import documents. Our standard terms are a 30% T/T deposit with the balance before shipment. Loading takes 7 to 14 days after deposit confirmation, and we send loading photographs and the container seal number before departure. SGS or equivalent inspection can be arranged within 3 to 5 business days.
To request a quote for an XE650GK, contact us by phone or WhatsApp at +86 13764468035, or by email at shunfa@usedexcavator.shop. We reply within 24 hours during working days. Send the destination port and configuration requirements with the inquiry, and we will respond with available units, inspection reports and a formal quotation.
The specification table is only the starting point. The price of a used XE650GK ultimately depends on its year, hours, undercarriage condition and installed configuration. Contact us for a quote with those details included, and the number will be useful for comparison.
