Kubota wanted around 2k for extra aux, not a factory option on that.

Just go for the biggest digger you can legally tow,buckets/ grabs can always go in bk of yr truck.not sure what transits tow an ifor gh94 weighs in at something like 525kg food for thought tho😁😁

Huge difference between 1.9t and 2.7t both in terms of price, width and weight. Horses for courses. Depends what work he has.

Can’t change van it’s two years old and supplied by company I sub to, don’t need a tacho but it’s a whole lot of hassle explaining to plod  etc that it’s not required. digger will be paid for cash then I pay back each week can extra service be retro fitted?

 

a single service will work with a tilty BUT the tilty will be more expensive as it has to do all the controls itself. Price up a rototilt they are bit cheaper than engcon.

Looking at a new mini digger needs to be towed with a transit so no larger than 2 tonnes thinking jcb ,bobcat e19 or tak 219 maybe with tilt rotator any others to look at or miss

What’s the actual weight your Transit is legal to tow? 
Do you wish to go Cab or Canopy as this impacts what Tiltrotator solutions are available to you.

 

Plenty of companies can retrofit a proportional rotate circuit with rockers in the joystick to match any Factory single circuit.

 

No single brand of Tiltrotator is cheaper than another across a range of quotes, as most sales guys can give their own discounts and spec can vary so widely that you must ensure absolutely everything is like for like before a true comparison.

 

Everything breaks, but in this game there’s guys out there that could bend an Anvil! 
 

Brand loyalty is savage, dig a bit deeper and you’ll often find they’ve not even slept with someone who had one!

Will not see dave till new year but will enquire for you lux  100% , Its my ex partner is our sawmill that has it and kept in a barn. Cabbed not canopy
