Nice 1 Robert, how is it with rings?

 

Works a treat on the rings Stevie. Sure cuts down the amount of sawdust on site.

I like that. I've got an auger torque x2500 and wondered if I could get something similar made up (doesn't seem to be a standard option available ).

Cost!

 

wondered that but dont know if anyone else has noticed that they seem to be loads more common in northern Europe generally?

just genuinely intrigued.

 

Like Eddie said they make a lot of sense.

Cost!

 

We were only talking Tilt Bucket, not Tiltrotator!!

 

Pretty much everything is dual piped on the auxiliary these days, and a Tilt Bucket really isn't a huge investment that will pay back from the second you begin to use it, in many small ways that add up to real savings fast.

 

Scandinavia is easily 5 years plus ahead still, but the UK is catching up very fast!

I'm potentially in the market for a new 5 tonne machine and am a bit overwhelmed by choice tbh. I want zero tailswing and will need to be able to use a rotating grab - has anyone got any advice over which manufacturer to look at over and above others? There's a CAT dealer on my doorstep but I haven't seen much talk of there smaller machines in this thread (other than Mr Blair's of course!). Eddie - you don't seem occasionally underwhelmed with new Kubotas somehow compared to their older models - is that something I should worry about? Takeuchi seem good value (which surprised me) - are they an old model now? Does anyone know anything about Case?

Any/all advice gratefully received here - I'm all ears!!

Ah ok, now I live in the highlands, most of the digger work I see is hill roads for shooting and hydro. Every machine from 2 ton to 30 has a tilty.

I've even seen a micro digger with an Engcon head at a hire company!
