Very nice. Hopefully get my new cx12 in the next couple of weeks. It’s in the dealers at the minute getting sign written and a few extras fitted. But still waiting on my hitch coming in. Is urs hydraulic pedro?

Looked into that but quote of £2400 exc put me off and doesn’t tilt that far either way.
I wanted a https://compacttilt.com/products/ct1/ but they won’t supply as no dealers in uk they say.

Nothing to exciting. Just getting a few extra work lights fitted to it for working inside dark buildings. Getting a we pad fitted to the dipper for my grapple. Yeah it doesn’t have a lot of space for sign written. So Im going to get the back bonnet (black bit where diesal tank is) sprayed the case tan colour and then put my blue sign written ontop of that. I think it will stand out better in that colour than the black. Mines is coming with a hydraulic hitch. But I’m getting it made with the pick up on it to suit my cx19c so I can share all my attachments between both diggers. Cx12 will have its own breaker. But I just share buckets,ripper,brush,grapple etc. no point in having a pile more attachments laying in the yard.

Deffo the way forward in general (I do this between 12 to 2.8 tons), but be careful with buckets .Using a 1.9t bucket on a 1.2t machine is just miserable in my experience. Micro shell buckets are not expensive and are very different- much lighter and also a shallower profile.
I started like you with my E10 but quickly realised that I needed proper buckets for it.

Yeah i’v been using my 19 buckets on my micro airman. It has worked ok, but I have noticed when using the bucket with teeth in a tight area if i lift up and pull the dipper right in it’s very very easy to clip the guard over the lifting ram.
Yeah I know what ur saying when I bought my airman I had full intentions of using the same rockbreaker for the 1.9 and the micro. I found out with in the first hour that wasn’t going to happen. It was like riding a bucking bronco at a fun fair. It’s was dangerously unstable. So I took it straight off and went and bought the proper hammer before someone got hurt.
