Hi thought I’d ask your opinion
Bobcat e20 £23k 2 lines
Yanmar Sv 18 £19850 2 lines
Cat 302.8 £ 20k 1 line
Or should I be looking at kubota etc it’s a minefield
I want the 2 lines for grab and rotator bobcat and cat are 0%
What are your thoughts please

The E27 with thumb I've bought is £7800 cheaper than CATs new 2.7d similar hydraulic spec without thumb.

 

I can't fault my CAT in any way, it's .8 years old this year and never missed a beat.

Wasn’t much drama hooking rotator grab to this cat, love the machine can’t fault it. Having said that I haven’t tried much else

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’ve bought and fitted a thumb from RSL. Really pleased with it. The instructions say the pressure on the aux circuit should be reduced to 200 bar to avoid damaging the thumb. Does anyone know how to do this on a TB 016?

Way too pricey for the bobcat. It should be the cheapest. Haggle if you can. You will be waiting months regardless of what any dealer promises at the moment.

Stick a pressure relief in the plumbing that diverts excess pressure back to tank.

Bobs first day on the job.
