What 6-8 tonner

[Left hooker]

You mean with no dpf no ad blue less electronic control and less unnecessary gadgets

My 18t Hitachi wouldnt if produced today day pass a ce ticket but would be fine for the like of India and Pakistan but it still has electric most stuff and egr at the maximum of after treatment of emissions for it's day

If its in their t&c they'll wiggle out
Lass has her catering gear nicked from burger van...they refused to pay as her gas cert had expired

Insures are the biggest cheating industry can ever meet and what's worse some of it your legally compelled to use them but them can happily build in get out clauses.

No i mean it may have a more basic hyd pump, valve block etc than even the 90s machines did.

It hasn’t , it has exactly the same hyd pump , engine , valve block etc as current Zaxis 80

 

[Vinpetrol]

Resale could be a problem potentially too. Then again maybe not if it's sold on to a farmer or somewhere who either doesn't know or care if it's CE marked or not
Regarding insurance. I'm not sure what kind of scenario they would refuse a payout. I suppose if it self combusted or rolled over and cab didn't provide adequate protection to an employee or something. If it's nicked surely it doesn't matter about the CE mark- although I'm sure they'd find a way to disagree with that.

Your only trying to keep me on the hook for yours

Surely that Ce marked?

Surely that Ce marked?

Yes it is but if it's put through today with the standards expected it wouldn't pass current regs as no ad blue dpf as you can't buy new with out it and can't be sold in UK or anywhere that requires it

Well I’ve bought a hitachi but not the Tata hitachi as tempting as it was .
I went for a 2008 ZX70 with just under 5K hours .
It’s been a bit farmered so it needs a few jobs doing and a lick of paint and I’m swithering about putting a tilty on it .
First job is get it home and pin and bush the boom and dipper . Pics up once I get it home .

No it’s the one I told you about. The guy from Ireland didn’t show so he called me back . I flew to Gatwick Saturday and had a look Sunday am then flew home . I done the deal on monday. Needs a bit of TLC but the guy was very reasonable so I’ve got scope to do it .

Superb clearly meant to be if the other guy didn't show up. I thought that looked a pretty straight machine myself and not silly hours either. Look forwards to be the pics.

 

[Vinpetrol]

Ive decided I’d like to fit a tilt rotator to it . I can’t justify a new one so I will hold out and see if I can find a used one . Doesn’t seem to be any about just now so I will likely fit a hydraulic pick up hitch in the mean time . If anyone sees or is thinking of selling a suitable sized tiltrotator please let me know !

Machine is local to me so if anybody is interested I can look it over I think guy is usually pretty easy to deal with so price could probably be dropped as he has new machine that replaced it
