Honestly it's been so long since I used idig I almost forgot I had it, but it will be getting an outing on this job
It's brilliant for stuff like this... shifted 2 grab loads of timber including ripping out the floor etc without breaking a sweat

First day went pretty good. Pushed over plenty of trees no bother and delicate enough to clear them up once cut up

TAB boom is wicked useful. Incredible the range it gives you and very handy for working uphill or lifting heavy loads whilst keeping them close.
The 86c flow shares nicely on the arm, grab and rotator. Tracking is the major letdown- it’s three and a half times the weight of an E27 yet less than double the horsepower and it shows. A 100c would have been better, but this is what came along cheap and low hours (still sub 400!)

There are a few would of been better but at that spec, money and hours you won't beat it, pay for itself in no time on the right work.

Im moving it this Friday to do a week on a long term scrub pulling job we’ve been using the e27 on. A year on and it’s a lot more mature, this should be just the ticket.
Impressed just how dexterous the GX25 grab is. Pulled out a few saplings today that I thought would be far too spindly. You get a decent sized bundle in the grab too, on shorter runs it will save using the loader or alpine with grab to move it.
And all the stuff in the background of the pic (plus ten times that amount around the place) needs to be stacked the other side of the fence, which the 86c should be ideal for.

Probably better than the TB290. That thing wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding tracking

Really? I thought they were supposed to be good?
CAT would be where it’s at for me for a new digger, money no object, based on specs. 75hp for the 8 tonner. This Jake is 45, hardly any more than my 1.2t tractor!

Nope- pure dogshit unfortunately. The digging power and grading is fine but tracking it robs all the power/flow and nothing to show for it. Couldn't believe how bad it was and would not want to be stuck at the bottom of a steep slippery slope with one

Can you not get it mapped ? (Edit) I am assuming its common rail ECU controlled?

The et90 is 75hp - would be my choice.
You never hear anyone say anything bad about them.
