That's some serious piece of kit Eddie.

 

I have been moving my firewood heap the last couple of days to clear up the yard and I am really surprised at the size of some of the lumps the Takeuchi is capable of lifting.

That really is a formidable looking machine Eddie- seeing the shear next to the van puts it in perspective how big it is.

 

Scraggs- i assume you have now taken delivery of your TB230 then? How are your first impressions?

Had it a couple of weeks now, very impressed with it so far, it doesn't struggle at all with the 750mm bucket on or picking up bags of soil, certainly a bit nicer to drive than my 8014 :)

I have been offered a demo on a Remu screening bucket, but we are currently having some issues with what size screen to order it in, and they aren't changeable to a different size cheaply, but if we do I need to put a 3rd line return on it.

Good to hear.

 

What is the 3rd line for- most screening buckets seem like they run off standard double circuit?

3rd is leak back off the motor, it's a bit of a pita really.

Looking to change my Volvo EC27C 2.7 tonne, thought I might try a different machine.

Only ever used Volvos but been looking at Kubota KX027-4 High spec. Anybody use this machine with grab and rotator?

Look at the yanmar sv26. Nicely towable with an attachment or two. It's conventional tail swing and wide track base so should be pretty stable. And 2x hammer circuits as standard (I think) so can run rotator and grab easily .

i think you will be hard pushed to better your Volvo tbh, Kubota you suggest is zero tail swing- no point having that unless you need it? 

Iv never found myself needing zts on a 3 tonner myself- I prefer big bottoms

Can anyone help, I have a Takeuchi TB228, on the front of the joysticks there is a trigger like button, anyone know what they are for?

Or anyone have a wiring diagram so I can figure it out?
