Was checking one out today on site as looked useless. Surprisingly said 105l capacity.
Had a look at it this evening, seems OK to me as a design.
Needs a hose fitting and a clean up, then I'll try it out.
I also have this one that I bought from the auction back in April. Pulled about 20 litres of clean red out of it, cleaned it up, just need to order a lid (I think) for it.
I'll go over them this weekend, order the bits they need then give them a try. Keep whichever one I prefer, sell the other one for profit 😉👍

Not an auction but not sure where else to put this. A mate is selling his Kobelco - it is absolutely mint, if anyone is in the market for a second hand 14 tonner this would be a great buy!

To be fair …. That’s only 7ft longer than my LM166G3 and that doesn’t seem to tow any worse than the GH1054BT. Reckon a 23ft triple would tow all right

Might suit someone
Incidentally we've been debating this recently...
Me and my kid reckon 216 is most common mini in this neck of the woods . Probably mainly as they dragged on every utility companies trailer 😊
Tried to find the actual data but nothing conclusive.

Lots of U17’s around here, they look like they have a hard life considering they’re only doing fairly light trenching!
