I wouldn't get a spinning brush without a collector.
Very narrow field of use. Mostly as they flick s**t everywhere. Including sending sizeable stones flying
Can get this one for my Sherpa, clamps onto the bucket but annoyingly I have 750 wide buckets and they only the brush in 850/1100 widths 🙄

Long days on hired in micro.. I specifically requested a joystick micro - not levers ! Nearly sent it back before it got unloaded at 0730 this morning , but thought I’d give it ago , not too bad really, controls nearly same as 3cx levers, unlike the jcb micro which they have managed to ruin!

Good micros, wacker neuson with cat stickers. And they are very sensibly price. Shame they only expand to 860mm.

Nearly bought one before the E10. Prefer the 1150mm track width though !
Same here. Back in 2016 the e10 was 12.5k and the 300.9 was 11.6k. That was pre negotiations...but the difference was still worth the extra for the e10. I wanted a new 8010 but they wanted 15.7k n factory order only. I still say no other micro beats the 8010 and I still enjoy driving my one thats 16 years old now...proper power house.

Yeah it’s well balanced even on the narrow track, I just wanted joysticks for comfort as it’s a full weeks work digging out and stoning up this floor. 6 buckets fills the HD5 dumpster so you can soon shift some muck!

Not necessarily - some bits of them seem to hold the paint well. It’s just the other 95% of the panels that let the machines down 😂
Painting a machine is surely something which is very easy to get right. They don't even have any primer on the ones I've seen- literally coming off in sheets. Shame that otherwise seemingly good machines fall down on such a basic thing- it's enough for me to not buy one.

Sheets coming off is often powdercoating. Not always a fan of it. I would happily have a machine that's hot dipped galvanised.
