You’re going to swap it between the machines . How well does the E19 handle it ? Are you using smaller buckets on it ?
E19 is great with it, BUT- I was sensible enough to spec short dipper when I bought the machine, as I wanted to run a rotating grab on it and I knew a tilty was a possibility in the future. Probably the only one ever sold in the UK :rolleyes:

I would expect it to be an absolute dog on a long arm (UK standard) E19. Mine is under a top hitch, but it has to be in order to share the tilty. I'd imagine it would be lovely for grading etc direct mounted. But I have zero complaints as is- on such a small machine a tilty can be as much a hindrance as it is a help so its best to be able to choose.

In that last photo I had the larger grader on from the E27, as I was only scraping out woodchip and then grading out crush as the loader spooned it in. Usually it runs a much smaller grader.

1 day we'll have a trench with nothing in it. Nightmare to get levels as layers of rock everywhere. Bricks and rock on top of services, but dry for last 3 days

You think? It's flippin tidy but the 161 is getting on a bit. I reckon its genuine myself...
My 161 is more of a pleasure and more comfy to operate than the u 55-4 we have on hire

That one is an older one as not the alpha update with auto idle mines the kx161-3a

If it’s legit I’d consider that a very good buy (if you have the work for it). It’s done bugger all if legit. I’d be going to ‘kick the tracks’ if it was local.
