What did you drive, try or demo today?

[6feetdown]

Tried this on demo today, 730mm wide closed, hammer lines and 3 buckets (bmc) would come with manual quick hitch of choice.
It's on sticks little bit jerky on tracking has expanding tracks

How much?

Would need to be seriously cheap to consider that over an e10, and I bet it’s not that cheap.

Buy a bobcat.. simples

Only demo think money would be better spent towards a new tipper.

What do you think is better on an E10?

Servos. Smooth. Comfy. 710mm wide.

I honestly don’t understand why you’d even contemplate a micro on sticks rather than servos. It’s not 1995 anymore.

The E10 is a lot more stable as well, tracks on the Wacker don’t go out very wide either.

Ah now I thought the bc was wider so yes would definitely look at 1 especially with servos, 20mm makes a difference any idea what they are at at the moment?

I’ve tried one, and have to agree that it was a bit on the jerky side compared to my Kubota on levers. I’ve never once hankered after servo controls on my machine, and iI’ve done some fair shifts on it. Mind you, I’m not on it every day.

It seems like micros are the new 3cx stick and servo debate.

Think about 16k. What was the wacker?

How many hours do you recon the e10 will last? I've driven one with 1500 hours and it was loose but I think it had been abused. My one's just gone over 500 hours and it's fine but I think the tracks will be toast by 1000h. I need to re tension them for the second time actually.

Small pins wear quicker. Despite the same greasing regime across my machines the e10 is looser than the e19 and the e19 looser than the e27 at same sort of hours.

None of them anything like a hire special though. Drove an e27z the other day with 300 hours and the quick hitch had four inches of play already.

You'll get that on forestry work though, nothing more abusive and wearing to a digger than handling twigs.

Picked up few twigs for the other half’s stick insects the other day

Mines around 2.1k hours. Still on original pins and bushes.
