Takeuchi tb210r vs the bocat e10

[Brendan]

Any one used both?
Or any reviews on either?
Looking to pick one up in the next few days look set on the doosan dx10z version of the E10 but on paper the takeuchi is up on power and lifting.
No where local hires out either, there is a local takeuchi dealer that does a tow and show but getting 30 mins or so on one isn't really going to help much

Ive had an e10 for nearly 3 years and its still a pleasure to use and does above and beyond everything asked of it.

Ive had no issues with it bar 2 hoses blowing and not through driver error either.

Ill deffo have another.

Had a go on an E10 a couple of times, seems to punch above its category as a “micro”. I’ve got my current micro up for sale and if it goes i’ll be looking for an E10. Out forum host has one listed for sale

E10, without doubt a better all round machine....

 

[Brendan]

@pettsy it already sold

seen you used a tb210 on your thread is there much in it performance wise? I know the E10 is marginally thinner which I think is the main advantage

 

[Regy53]

E10's are a cracking tool, and the residual value is pretty dam decent too!

I have seen a horror story on a plant fitters fb group of the slew motor going bad and that looked a pig of a job but we have sold probably 15 in the last 2 years and never heard any negatives from them

@Brendan i will have a chat with my regular source for them im certain there wasnt any more to come. You never know though

Ah right, it’s still in my eBay watch list so I assume @Regy53 hasnt updated yet?

How many hours on yours? What’s the pin wear like?
Deffo agree with regy re residuals. Hardly seemed worth buying second hand to my mind.
Mine hasn’t seen any use recently
But it did 60 hours in the first month. Handy tool to have.

Brendan where are you based?

Northampton
Just agreed to buy a new dx10 should be picking it up tuesday

 

[Brendan]

Ross's was a good price all the others were either similiar price, double the hours and couple of years older or rough as balls and needing painting or too close to new money

Its done 1000hours with next to no pin wear but it is greased a couple of times a day like the rest of my machines.

You grease twice a day?
Every 4-5 hours or just when on lunch?

I suppose with such small pins in those machines, it doesn't take long for a pin to go dry ? Have to admit that 'when' my lil' walker gets used it does get a lot of grease .... or it squeals and groans, pretty quick

Yes it usually get a grease first thing in a morning and then topped up as the day goes on....such as when its stood for 5 mins you can at least get a few nipples greased again.

Lunch is a good time too but only after youve eaten your sandwich and had a cuppa.

As gra said with them been small pins it doesnt take much for them to run dry.

My other micro did 2k hours on the origional bucket pins and its still tight on all the others.

 

[Regy53]

I will say wear on these machines feels minimal, perhaps bucket end but nothing much the buckets are small after all.

Typically guys, i had the last unit since November time, and last night had a deposit put against it and our E20 cabbed machine.

It happens every bloody time

Might try and up my grease game a bit
Was debating putting some vinyl on the dipper to protect the paint as always found with my tb108 when ever filling dumpers they just don't have the height to clear the skips without the bucket curled right in and spoil against the dipper

 

[Regy53]

steel plate would go better

 

[V8Druid]

bond some ali 5 bar tread plate onto it
