2.5t and tilty

[Furniss]

Don't really like the 1.7t Kubota and it sits there pretty much all year and does nowt, can hire one for the few jobs it does that the 3t won't get in to, so going to move it on and get a 2 - 2.5t machine with twin props and then look out for a 4 pipe tilty install like the 6t, then eventually sell the 3t on too.

If you see any likely candidates post em up please , choices with the twin prop are going to be limited I guess.

Thinking newer or goood 2nd hand?
They do seem to come up occasionally with a tilty already on.

I was thinking that? There’s been a couple on marketplace recently.

Wouldnt necessarily bother with it tbh as its a bit indulgent for the use it will get, but plan is to take it home when I semi stop and just go messing about part time, don't think I can handle going to a standard setup

Buying something already setup may be the best way I suppose, as we know the tilty doesn't seem to add a great amount to it's value overall... depends what comes up I suppose and buying base machine first spreads cost.

2-2.5t has to be the Wacker ET24 surely? The only other comparable weight is the TB225 but that has expanding tracks which reduces ground clearance. The Wacker has good aux hydraulic flow and around nice machine to operate- major downside is now opening side window though! You have to prop the second door open on a little catch to get the airflow!

A gripper is part of the plan I presume ?

Would be nice but i believe engon is s40 only for gripper and might be on the heavy side even direct mount - machine wants to be sensible weight all up as in a few years I might be towing it with pickup/trailer.
