2 ton zero swing with cab

[groundworker]

I want to replace my knackered U-15 with a nice new digger. Needs to be the same footprint - 1m wide, zero swing

Been umming and ahhing about this for ages (canopy vs cab) but after the last couple of cold/wet weeks I've decided I want a cab.

Are there any manufacturers producing this machine for UK market except Bobcat (E20z)?

Hitachi do the zx19u allegedly but apparently they don't bring them into the UK.

Noticed the Eurocomach 19ZT the other day and have asked for a price.

Already had a price on the Bobcat and it's a bit heavy to say the least so looking for some comparison.

Any other options I've missed?

I dont think and brands other than bobcat make a sub 2.5 with a cab kubota did with the u20 no idea if theyve updated it

We have hitachi zx17 and zx19 with cabs, 19 isn't zero swing though

How do you rate them? I tried a canopy 17u and thought it was decent. How much was the cabbed version?

How about the CAT 302CR. Think that's zero. Slightly more than 2 ton but still goes down to a meter wide and well appointed cab. Ask @Hg2702

Sorry should have specified the weight is not that important, mainly the width - just meant to cover 1.7-2t in the title. CAT looks good but 1100 wide which is a bit big for me. I see they have the 301.7CR but looks like canopy only?

TB320 goes to 980mm according to the website cabbed and canopy

TB320 Compact Excavator

The TB320 Compact Excavator boasts an excellent blend of power and performance. A 2 tonne Takeuchi excavator excellent for operators.

They are pretty decent wee diggers ours have been reliable no issues with them, not the most spacious of cabs, decent digging force in them both

From experience, bobcat will come down on price a lot. Get other prices and tell them that’s where your money is going if they don’t sharpen their pencil.

Eurocomach don’t have a dealer network here any more. Some of their machines are sold rebadged as Case so you could try there. Usually silly money though.

You could also consider secondhand- I’ve seen a few E20 machines up for sale in the last few months.

They're not zero tail though. I hadnt realised how little choice there was if you wanted a zero 2 tonner with a cab.

Well I hope they come down in price a lot because the quote was obscene

There's an E20Z with 90hrs on it for about 21k which is a bit more like it, been up for a while

Yeah big bum on most machines this size which is no use to me unfortunately.

It’ll come down more if he wants to sell it!

Bobcat lost me as a customer through mental pricing (in 3 different dealerships, all expensive and all different money for the same thing!) - I haven’t the time or the patience to bounce prices off greedy salesmen and second-guess when they are done with the discounting. It just makes me hate them more, particularly when I have bought from them previously.
The E27 I had was a good machine (other than the dreadful paint), but I’d rather shop elsewhere than play games.

I had the same with them. Quoted me ridiculous money for a E27. Yeah I know they could probably be knocked down a bit but with that piss taking attitude I wouldnt want anything to do with them.

Have you considered the new case cx19D. Don’t know any thing about them myself but the look real nice and are zero swing.

@JD450A what was it MandM (dealer) said about the case/ eurocomach machines when we went that time? Not sure it was that complimentary?

Yes I've requested a price off them based off @doobin comment earlier, didn't realise they were one and the same.
