Proceed with caution! The prices and hours ring alarm bells with me.

Also, the smallest Goldoni is tiny - even smaller than an AGT 835 and when I looked at them could hardly get on/off it without gettng my feet cottered up.

I struggle with my 835 and this. I don't so much get out of the cab, rather stumble. The forestry cab doesn't help either.

 

I'm 6'2 and I'd recommend anyone taller to throughly test drive an alpine for 'fit'.

There is loads of room on the agt850. I have room to put my lunch bag although it has no cab

It's hard to have the best of both worlds. I like the visibility of no cab, but should the worst happen I'd be bloody glad of the guarding. It does keep the rain off your to a certain extent as well.

 

The 860 forestry spec model Calum @ riko mentioned a while back could be a good compromise. I'd like to see one 'in the flesh'.

Is the 860 same spec as the 835?? Yea had the water profs on but if I had a cab I could not operate the crane from the seat

I believe it's the 860 (size and 61hp) with the full forestry guarding and front logging blade. Wheel upgrade as well I expect.

Ohhh I see sounds good mind you a set of water profs are cheaper

Indeed! I harp on about it enough but that guarding is something I hope to never use but I'm glad it's there. You never know what might coming flying back to you/from above and with the engine noise you might not have a chance to react.
