Picked up new Takeuchi TB219

[Neilporteous]

So I finally picked up my new TB219 today.
There was 2 TB216 in the yard so it was good to see the machines next to one another, the 219 is definitely a bigger more chunky machine, all off the rams are bigger, the boom is bigger and the king post is a lot chunkier.

All in all I’m glad that I spent the extra and went for the 219 as I feel I would have always wanted more out of the 216.
Anyway here is some pictures

That looks great is it 1.9 t. Funny how the blade sticks out a fair bit

Loverly, do you do sign writing on your machines?

 

[TiltyShaun]

Looking good....only question is what is the towing weight for the transit??

I’m sure it’s around 2800kg, do you know how I check for sure?

It should say on the vin plate.

Clean up to blade without slewing kingpost. Handy when its steep as well

The machine is 2020kg, that will be without any buckets, hitch or fuel.
I like the long blade, it does look a bit funny but will come in very handy for what I need.

I will need to double check but sure it’s 2.8t, the trailer is 550kg plus 2020kg for machine plus the buckets, hitch, fuel etc.

that looks a big tool for a 1.9 tonner ...... very nice boyo ... always nice having a new machine, whatever it is ...... I do like that long armed blade

 

[Neilporteous]

All polished and ready for the first job today

Remember to dent it a few times as per @doobin advice

 

[Furniss]

Looks a handy size machine - your ratchet strap looks iffy over 180 ram but prob just the photo.
Bets of luck with it
