I looked round one of those at my local dealer. Looked tiny. How does it drive?

It’s the size of a 1.8 t machine.

  Spacious cab and a good reach, no complaints and that’s 2 days of digging out bamboo on a huge rockery.

 

very nice Jeremy.  That will keep the heizo running!

Nice.. I hire a old yanmar a year ago very tight machine for its age also very sensitive and a lot of power.

Why the 1.8t out of interest? I have both 2.8 and 1.8 but there’s not many jobs where I wouldn’t prefer to have the bigger one, a bit more of a lump to tow around but more than makes up for it when on site. With the 1.8t I get in it and instantly wish I’d bought the other machine- unless it’s just a scratch around job!

Plant hire co near me has there whole fleet yanmar- well over 50 machines, they said they wouldn’t look elsewhere now, the 5000hr machines have worn well and that’s all hire work so says a lot about them.

Nice. I might get a demo when it's time to replace my 1.8t. The boom in particular just looked a lot smaller than my Hyundai, rams especially. It was a canopy model but the rest of it also seemed a touch smaller.
