Wait till I publish the video on how it drives…
Although it’s the wiper that winds me up the most. An inexcusably poor design from a manufacturer that should know better. Clearly nobody used it in the rain before it was given the go ahead to production.

Seriously impressive machine in the lift though. Would throw that 800kg bag of 20mm gravel up into a dumper no problem.

Just watched. Didn't realise he'd literally uploaded today- what a coincidence. That bodywork fit and finish is shocking I must day- very landrover/British 🤣
I would agree with the finish comments. My Kx71-3 is a great machine. Getting old and now on 6000hrs. I can’t bring myself to spend £30k and think I am getting something better.

I'm not sure machines are getting better Shaun. My worry is they are going backwards!
It seems like cars the focus is now on features, creature comforts, h&s appeasments, built to a price rather than getting the stuff that matters. I'm glad I bought my ET20 recently because the next incarnation of it will have rear windscreen wipers etc- it's all this added guff that seems to be added on as an afterthought but no one wants to pay for it so everything is cheap and flimsy
