Hi.

I’m looking for a 2.5 to 3 ton digger to replace old hitachi ex30.

looking for something reliable for €15k to €20k.

mini diggers like most used stuff at the moment seem to be at inflated prices so I realise I’m going to be getting an older machine for the money than two years ago.

I am coming across a few Volvo EC25 that seem to be priced ok.

Any opinions on Volvo?

 Thanks 

 

Volvo EC25 are nice machines real nice to operate

Been an eye opener to load the new Ufkes 962 of the Tree Brothers, some chipper, incredible performance on anything thrown at it!

 

For scale that’s a New Holland TM190 shunting that trailer.

 

 

Eddie.

Eddie.

 

 

Nice trailers them. 36 cube. We have an friend that  shifts chip for us with one. 

 

Like that chipper but I kept looking at it thinking if it shit the bed I'd want to be far far away from it!

This rocked in and could take a fair load!

 

It’s a very impressive chipper, best I’ve worked with so far in this class, 

incredible what it will pull in.

Does look a fair chipper like and certainly not chipping match sticks lol 😆  wonder what lifespan is on a chipper like that when feeding big lengths etc all the time...?

 

This is my bigger trailer. Big enough for me. Think it's 25 cube can't remember

Perhaps won’t have the longevity of a Bandit, but who knows?

Seriously well finished all round and an absolute pleasure to load with everything from round to grab fulls of absolute shite at the end of the job.

 

I wish they were matchsticks, but I was dropping them and I can vouch they weren’t!

 

The TM190 sounded 

 gorgeous amongst all this fancy stuff that rolled in.

Those UFKES are the dog’s bollox, I’d probably be looking at those or MusMax before Bandit tbh (nothing wrong with Bandit drum chippers though, but I’d be interested to see a side-by-side throughput comparison with these 3 manufacturers equivalent machines). The UFKES infeed setup is very very good.

You missed out Europe, they would go up against Ufkes, Bandit don’t really come into it, their tracked offerings in this type machine are cut to waste.

 

Going to be a proper sort out with white diesel as things like this Ufkes absolutely sip diesel in comparison to a Tractor setup, and as you’ll now be looking at class 1 licence and operators etc to drive the Tractor up the road, so in many instances you may as well low loader something like this in, and throw an 8 tonner on with it for more versatility.

Finally got around to posting a few videos up to YouTube, I still have a couple more to upload. I drop them in this thread I might get a few views
