Lovely pics of some awesome Machinery there LB, that big CAT is something like 310 tonne I believe?

 

Gutted not to be up there being the local show, and looks like the weather turned out for Buxton too!

 

You didn't manage a snap of a couple of special kubota's on the Engcon stand did you?

hi ed - hows it going, yes we visited the engcon stand and yes i heard all about " this is what eddies got"!!! but i did find it interesting and the amount of attachments that he demod and could interchange so quick - pallet forks, brush, breakers etc

even for me it was actually interesting - it was a jcb demoing for engcon , but will have to ask Roh if he saw a kubota:thumbup:

All good with me thanks LB,

 

Yes it was a pretty much all singing/dancing setup on the demonstration JS130 they had up there.

It's used to show off the remarkable 'Oilquick' system that allows you to not only pick up attachments with the quick hitch, but actually connect the oil pipes instantly without leaving the cab or turning the machine off.

It's very neat but very expensive and I fear it won't like very tough environments? Where trees are concerned it's got to be armour plated in my experience!

 

I couldn't attend but actually loaned Engcon my latest 5 tonne unit for the stand and I don't think Rohan has actually seen that one yet?

 

There was also another Low Ground Pressure 8 tonne machine there modelled on mine that I believe got sold off the show stand.

 

I sincerely hope you had sunglasses, because if the sun actually shines there it's an absolute killer reflecting off that limestone.

 

Eddie.
