How convenient to spot these on a stand this afternoon at the royal Lancashire show lol 🤣

 

18-18500 for a 1.8t and 27k for the 2.5 machine

[swinny]

I would really like a 2.5 but seeing this one in the flesh it seems.quite large.... Leaning towards the 1.8t 

 

Also now considering new ... Used are between 11-16k depending on hours and age and a new one only a smidge more!

A mate of mine has a tb215r on just over 500 hours, I've had it on hire a couple of times, its absolutely fantastic. So smooth and powerful(although of course the low hours helping!) He's had hire customers ask what size it is as it digs like a 2.5! 

if the 217 is the same but a little bigger it must be great 👍

Put the bigger size machine next to it and there is a big jump in size.

Don’t get a TB216. I have one, does the job but has some pretty undesirable attributes- sloppy slew from new, not the greatest breakout force. Very stable machine though for size, but aux hydraulics are controlled by a foot pedal- not ideal.
