Should have asked LGP Eddie nicely while he was trying to sell it earlier....

 

You still can, and it's pretty much approaching that build figure, it'll actually be approx 15% more now starting from fresh?

 

Ross at Sandhill plant is dealing with the sale for me as the machine is of a specification attractive to the Scandinavia market, and obviously he's experienced in this.

 

It is possible to deal directly with myself.

Many Congratulations Stephen, I sincerely hope she serves you well.

I doubt you'll regret the investment and it'll certainly be more than capable of handling a huge variety of work.

 

If you need any guarding or winch fitting I can recommend John Craig at JCC Engcon he does some fantastic work, and if you can think it up he can probably do it!

Here's our wee 2t Volvo with a bucket and toe combination. Easy moved between sites, expanding track which go down to 1m wide so it fits into tight spaces, will probably lift between 250-500kg depending on the reach. (And yes I know - a stupid place to leave a saw lying.)

excuse my ignorance, but how common is the expanding track option in these machines and how much do they generally expand by?

 

edit - re expansion, it obviously depends on the specifics of the machine, but does it add a significant width - 10%, 30%??

Eddie, I thought I had seen that machine or one very similar to it. been thinking about a bigger machine for some time. Thought about something in the 8 tonne range and putting a harverdig on it, but I have only seen them on a 14 tonner and thats not really what I want. Im looking for something that can fit in with my tree work and my property development projects.

Your machine is a cracker and is going to give me a sore head thinking it over.

 

Cheers,

 

Robert.

From memory it shrinks in to 950mm(the width of the cab ) and expands out to 1300. We ,ve also a 1ton yanmar that goes from 1000mm down to 760 mm so it fits thru a pedestrian gate or thru a standard door frame with the roll bar folded down.

Just ordered a Cat 302.7d.

It's the newer model of the 1 I used last year daily.

It's the zero turn, I was doing too much thinking so jumped in both feet.

Their service was great and I like their salesman. So deal done, hopefully get it Thursday.

 

Wow, no messing there!

 

Zero swing a good move if you consistently work with little room about. Definitely be easier on the neck!

 

Health to use.

thanks Gareth - so both those options expand by about a third of their narrow setting. Interesting

Doosan 6 tonner goes well!
