Well my E19 is apparently on it's way from the dealers, and due at my yard any moment. I'll post some pics oince I've got the grab on.

 

A word of warning- the dealer mechanic is here addressing a couple of niggles on the E27- he says any new machine you'll be lucky to get by September 2021! ?

Wow, that's a longggg wait! Thanks for the heads up. 

I still need to contact  other manufacturers, I'll make more of a point of questioning lead times!

 

Hopefully the e19 arrived ok?

Very nice, is that to replace the Cat or are you keeping that too???

The bobcat dealer I've been emailing was very quick and helpful?

Nice spec, I need to ask the price to get a thumb added to my E19 quote- I was using my Dads 3/4 tonner to dig a drive the other week and trying to get odd shaped lumps of concrete a skip was really boring after years with a thumb on my 1.5 ??

 

Good one, might as well keep it if you can???

£1400 for hydraulic thumb.

No a companies I’m subbing to on a larger contract.  I get to play in it all day and every time something doesn’t work I get to pass that headache onto the owner?.  It’s a cracking tool, just needs time in the workshop to iron out some gremlins.

Week 9 of rhody stumps!

Anyone had any contact with the carter brand of excavator's
On paper they seem reasonable well specked.
Looking at adding a 8 - 9 ton to our collection for mostly handling duties

I know more established brands have a good reputation but even second hand with 2000hrs + are fetching more money so is this for good reason [emoji848]
