Yes.. they were really decent and dropped it off. I have not put much time on that size machine but have one on my shopping list so working my way through different makes. I found it much nicer than the Case, felt pretty planted and there is still the option of adding a longer dipper and a counterweight while still keeping it legally towable. The cab was a nice place to be :)
Kubota have longer warranty I think, also want to try a WN.

Sat in an e27 at auction much more room and door width than the jcb or Kubota u27 seems a good machine not operated one though yet

Did you sit in E27z or E27? Not sure if cabs much different. I did like. Very nice for dozing with. Would want the longer dipper and counterweight on a new one though.

Conversely never seen them around here. As in I've never actually seen one on a trailer or side of the road or anything. Not much dealer presence untill recently so might change

Hamblys seem pretty keen. It’s a much nicer machine than the Case for sure.

Back on the project today. Groundwork’s/Erectors setting the bolts today. I was hanging round in the way pumping out the pits with my grandads old generator and a 110v stainless submersible I found in a skip. Was assuming there would be a bit of readimix left over (2-3 cube was what I needed) so was shuttering up between the containers, with a partition ready to drop in once we ran out. Due to a miscommunication or misunderstanding or miscalculation (not mine for a change) there ended up being a spare 3 cube which I wasn’t prepared for. Had to drag Father away from the sheep and frantically set up some extra shuttering. Was a bit thicker at bottom end than I would have liked but best we could do with 30 minutes notice. Might go back early to see if I can rub/brush some lines out, as too wet to touch when I went home at 8pm. Won’t win any prizes for it certainly.
To be fair the 2 chaps from the erection team put in some
extra time to help lose the surprise excess.
Next stop …. Getting the frame and roof up. Might have to give this it’s own thread.
Expensive day today. 26 cube so about 2.9K+vat
It’s going to start getting worse soon as well !
