Yeah, I keep waiting for the right one.

Should have kept the little Takeuchi 1.6 from a few years back.

Takeuchi 1.6  cracking little digger.

Don’t really do loading trailers etc but it’s just incredible for grab work. You loose so much height on a normal machine with a grab and rotator. 
 

I wish someone would make a triple boom with a 2.7 tonner. 

Not a 2.7 tonner but should make a nice compact arb machine.

Try ecocomach ( not sure about spelling) or case they did a 2.7 triple

Wait till you get a price.

 

Only available in the UK as Case. Enquired and they said they handn't sold so well and they had a couple of 2023 models, new old stock. Aha, thought I.

 

£33k plus vat. No thanks.

 

It's a bit of a joke machine tbh- apparently it's for 'internal demolition'. If so then why isn't it electric or a hybrid at the least?

Nope, they do the 1.9 as per the post above, and a 3.8t.

Hi 

I’ve been looking for a little mini digger for a while now, a neighbour is selling a 2008 Kubota KX 41 3V for not a lot of money. Straight enough machine with a good cab and sharp responsive hydraulics. It’s not gonna be used commercially rather a bit of landscaping, Foundations and general work around the property, just wondering if anyone had used one or had any experiences good or bad. 
Cheers

can't go wrong with most tbh, if it sounds good, holds oil, doesn't leak and digs!  buy it.  

 

today I through a track for the first time in a few years I think, big boulders under leaf litter and fly tipping.  luckily I now have a Dave, my right hand man who was a fitter for 15 years and operates everything, I ate lunch, he put the track on.
