Cheers all. I think it was just lucky timing, a chap I spoke to down south said his machine was 22+ vat for the same setup, so I’m hoping it’ll turn out well. Definitely a start towards getting fat sitting in a cab all day😂
-
I worked out it was roughly between 350 & 450kg, I was very impressed, especially to lift to the side and track. I paid £14700 plus vat for the digger, it was a 2024 machine brand new, 5 years full warranty! More than my cheapskate self wanted to spend but I couldn’t pass up the chance with that cover. Grab and rotator was about 4k inc vat, worth every penny for the better quality parts and Hywels help!
-
@doobin here you go! Picked up the little arb digger last Thursday, and so far it’s been brilliant! Much more capable than I feared, looking forward to putting it to some proper use soon. Hywel did a great job with the grab and even sorted me a plant trailer!
-
@doobin; a huge thank you for all your help and advise! I’ve sourced a new 2024 Sany SY18c at a seemingly very reasonable price, and Hywel is going to fit a grab/rotator for me, all being well we’ll be up and running in a week or two! Looking forward to less back ache🤘
-
That’s my thoughts exactly-looks like a lot of paint! Think it may be a long dipper too but that’s just another thing. Im leaning towards the Sany, the low hours and age make it pretty appealing. Are they too good to be true? Power/flow rates seem good according to their website but have you used one @doobin?
-
What would be your preference between the E20 in my previous reply, the Doosan In the same post of a 2022 sany with 500 hours? I like the bobcat but I’m concerned it’s just had a lick of paint and is hiding some horrors. It has joystick controls though….
-
Would all Doosan have the controls on the feet? I’ve seen a couple of sany sy18 for similar price, which seem to have a regular dipper as standard-would they have joystick controls for the grab and rotator?
-
@doobin This is the Doosan DOOSAN DX19 , full cab mini digger excavator. PRICE : £10500+VAT=£12600 | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK DOOSAN DX19 MINI DIGGER. COLLECT FROM YORK AREA. This E20 on Facebook apparently has a regular dipper, but to me it looks like it may have been “tarted up” and new paint doesn’t mean referb! 登录 Facebook WWW.FACEBOOK.COM 登录 Facebook，与好友、家人和认识的人分享和建立联系。

@doobin is it as simple as long or regular? Or long, regular, short? I’ve found a doonsan dx19 & bobcat e20 with regular dippers….allegedly
-
Thanks mate, I know I’m aiming for something that won’t do the same as a 2.7t machine, but I’m hoping it will be a stepping stone so long as it’s useful to begin with! I was after a mini skid steer originally so I’m hoping this will be more efficient. I’ve asked Hywel to see what he can find, he’s a hell of a nice guy! Very helpful so I’m sure he will come up with something but I thought it never hurts to get opinions from people who run them themselves. Are there any machines out there that DONT come with a long dipper commonly? I’ve seen a couple of Doosan DX19’s that look good for the money, sany seemed about the same bracket.
-
Thanks mate, that was basically what I was after! I can’t afford new, and don’t want the overhead of finance with a machine that may not come out every day. I’m looking at 2nd hand e19’s that come in around 10/12k, but obviously I need to make sure they have a short/regular dipper. Towing a 3.5t rig would be a lot of extra load for my vehicles as we’re doing up to 2 hours each way some days, so the lighter weight would be a big bonus. It’s basically a bit of a demo for me-if the machine is a godsend and I quickly realise I need bigger, then so be it. If not, I haven’t spent £25k plus to try it out. I know the e19 would never match up to an e27, but as a stand alone machine how do you find it @doobin?
-
Again, another rambling…… On from the skid steer idea, after chatting to a few people my way who run both I’ve decided a digger makes more sense for the workload/type, plus they are similar money and more versatile! I’ve got my heart set on a 1.8/2t machine, that will go on my 2700 plant trailer (weighs 600kg) and has vari tracks for access. I know 2.7t machines will move more but the lower weight/versatility is more important to me currently (plus they are cheaper) Does anyone out there run the smaller bobcat e19 or e20 as an arb digger, or a machine if a similar size-if so how do you find them? I did try trawling the arb digger thread but ran out of concentrate……..

THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!
- FOR SALE
- USED
This advert is for my Timberwolf TW150DH woodchipper. It is in good condition for the age, and has been an absolutely fantastic little machine. I have owned for just over 12 months, when it came to me it had an extensive list of work done (see pictures) and since has only done approx 100 hours. It has just been fully serviced (22/8/25) including new belts & blades, oil & filters, brakes & wheel bearings adjusted etc. Only selling as workload requires a bigger machine. It is a very straight machine ready to go straight to work. Hours will increase slightly as it is still in use. Machine will be available from 8th September due to new machine being delivered. Any questions please PM or call/text. £4500.00 no vat (private sale)£4,500

That’s a beaut! Do their grabs fit on other machines or just the WQ’s? -

It almost makes you want to try one, how bad can they be for that much?!😂
