That seems a good price, but interested to see show it works out for you, I never got any prices when I was enquiring they only do direct mount so wouldn't quote, be interesting to see how the gripper pans out as no one else does one for that sizeI've decided to go for it. TR025 has been ordered.
I've got direct mount, df06 t/e (6 pipe, tilt sharing with extra function), I've been given the opportunity to buy a, yet to be released, integrated gripper for it at a heavily discounted rate (£3k off anticipated rrp) in return for feedback, which I have gone for.
It's s30 - 180 lower coupler, and I've got 3 RF system buckets with it, a cable bucket, a digging bucket and grading bucket. They weren't cheap, but they're made from hb400 and hb500 for the cutting edge, they are light, and I figure the geometry is optimal.
Thought it was an interesting offering beyond the usual steelwrist/engcon/rototilt. I like the look of some of the other kinshofer products, it all looks like very high quality stuff, particularly the grabs - hopefully it'll be the case with the tilty.
Kinshofer UK HQ is just up the road from me in Cheltenham, and I've heard back up from Kinshofer is good.
All in the bill is £13.3k + VAT, due to be fitted late June. So far I can't fault the service from Kinshofer, they have been responsive and answered all my questions when I've asked them.
I do have concerns about 30° tilt, but in my line of work I think I can tolerate this limitation. I also accept that direct mount is a compromise, but with the lack of protruding cylinders I reason that it'll mitigate some of the drawbacks, I'll also save on weight, cost and build height.
With almost no user feedback, it's a gamble, I'll certainly keep everyone updated with my honest thoughts about the unit
It is going on a Wacker Neuson EZ26-2
may have asked before ?? is the gripper removable? looks like it can be ?? Also looks the Mutt's nuts
Earlier I think he said it was integrated and unreleased demo model? Gripper on a towable machine is
brilliant job
- you're going to love it - but be patient if you've not had much time with a tilty/gripper - takes a fair while to get the best out of them and as always you never stop learning
When I ran attachments under a tilt rotator not enough oil would go through the head so ran direct off the two way breaker circuit and only rotated 180 degrees either way. Worked fine after a bit of practice. I only pulled the pipes off once whilst not concentrating.
Surely they can drill a hole in the joystick and fit another button.
Yea we did this for @Thomas7740 on his EZ26
Good to know.... If I could get some basic advice on how to do it and proof that its possible, I'd have thought they'll have pull there finger out and get it done, i was pretty specific in saying it needed to be switchable while my hands are on the joystick! Even if it's a foot pedal....
🫣🫣Can't have switch on joystick, or the floor, for safety reasons......
sounds like BS bollox .. can smell it from hereCan't have switch on joystick, or the floor, for safety reasons......
Does nothing at present....sounds like BS bollox .. can smell it from here
what does the installed button currently control or is it a spare ?
can get Lucas, steel, floor mounted, momentary (for horn), or latching (for dip/dazzle) switches.
