Hello Guys

 

I've got my vibratory post driver going on my IHI25NX, and so far its meeting expectations. As with all "bleeding edge" projects it needs a bit of refinement and I've just built a second "helmet" that better integrates the auger - only have to crowd 45 degrees to deploy it.

 

I need to fit a 6 port diverter valve to the boom so I can switch electrically between vibrator and auger. The only way I can see to rig it the outermost q/c's will protude about 125mm overall from the stick and they feel a bit "exposed".

 

Am I worrying un-necessarily, should I guard them . . . has anyone ripped stuff off their stick . . .

 

Don't worry, I will eventually post pictures but only after Mk11 is painted to cover my birdshit welding!

Thanks for the opinions.

The JCB is out of the running

However I hadn't realised Kabota have done away with the 61 and the 71 i'm sure has been brought down in weight slightly.

We have a very local kabota dealer, but something that has concerned me is the Takeuchi dealer is a good hour + drive away.

They have a new 71 coming in next week so am going to have a look at it, price wise it's about the same money.

don't worry about this they never go wrong:001_smile:

 

Seriously though- any parts can either be sent or if they are fixing under warranty that's their problem?

 

By the way my Takeuchi tn125 is for sale of you want it...

I wouldn't worry about takeuchis reliability I look after a couple of them that are out to a utilities company and you never do anything to them I am sure that if a few utilities bongos can break them an owner operator definitely won't have issues
