He also often had 8 tonners on steels too which isn't always that common. He has a few cat 311 there which I quite like the look of. Slightly smaller 13 tonner. No blade though.
To be fair in the 25 ish hours I've done with it, it has been good it's warm in the cab and the seat don't back quite far enough but the issues are just little things. The burst hose was just unfortunate the hitch is small and the routing not great, although like the other issues PDI should have picked it up.Yeah I had JCB for 15 years and laterly had some issues with them that sent me the way of Kubota .... just when I think I might look again I hear things like the cock up Brendan had with his new 8026Im not a big Kubota fan (even though i have 3 at the moment) but you just don't seem to hear about people having much aggro from them.
lot of stock
I bought my Hitachi 7.5 off him, no pressure, time to look over it and try it in his yard. (this was about 14 years ago though
)
Put some more pics up of the hitch hose routing because from the little i can see in that pic it wants taking off and starting again. The longer you wait the harder it will be to get anyone to do something about it. Who fitted hitch?
That sounds pretty appalling to be honest, good thing you checked the engine oil- many would assume it at least came with a full sump- or is that an optional extra?

There's no such thing as a perfect way to run hitch pipes once you get to the end of the dipper but some are better than others, its a place with so much rotation but little room. From how yours look the pipes run down the dipper and straight round to the hitch. Trouble with that is they need to double back on themselves when you fully dump bucket which they don't like to do hence coming out to the side. All my hitches the pipes come down to a block welded on the dipper and then the hitch pipes come out pointing up the dipper and then loop round to go to the hitch. Creates a natural bend in the hoses which allows them to lengthen or shorten as needed when you use the bucket ram.Tank of diesel was definitely an optional extra
@GazCro jcb fitted the hitch and hydraquip fitter has tried to do something with pipes, he shortened the original hose that burst and then pulled some slack out of the hoses in the hitch section by moving them up the dipper but he weren't too open to suggestions as was speaking to Ollie and Neil, will take some pics tomorrow if get a chance, they are currently cable tied to the tipping link but with the amount of rotation they bend up on themselves further up. To be fair Ben has been wanting to know if they can do things better so I would imagine if there was a better way to sort they would be up for it. Only have a couple more from when it happened
Very stable. Just added an Engcon with double hitch and only becomes a bit noddy when I have the 4 in 1 bucket off the side.

I thought it looked a damned good buy TBH ...
I do, and that very friend sent me this machine on facebook last night as he was shocked by the price!
Amazing isnt it .. my mate special ordered his new fixed boom 9t hitachi .... can't do with big mini diggers he saidI've had my case cx80c now for 3 years, not put a spanner to it
Personally, I would never have a fixed boom, the versatility is second to none with a offset
What ones did you like ?
