Really peculiar things to operate till you get used to it.seat swings outside of chassis when turning.just weird for a bit
nick…

That's why I find the old cat and Volvo shovels nicer to drive than the old jcbs.
Find it alot easier to drive with the seat on the back half

Yes used to being behind the articulation was a bit strange.
Really light on the steering

Nice!! You’ll be amazed how many uses you find for it- you’ll never look back, I promise.

So now it’s arrived, how much?

If you are working on uneven/tight/banked ground then just accept that the rear weights are ground-engaging (and definitely will be if manoeuvring without a bucket or attachment!)…
Mega machine, good work!

Say it quick it doesn't hurt 45 plus
Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.

but it’s the total cost of ownership that matters, and what it can do for you.👍🏻

How much will it lift and what does it weigh?

Lifts 1.9t.
Weight with extra weights, i think about 2800 so just about on the limit, will probably have to get a new trailer as think my old ifor will be to high and top heavy for it

Serious envy here! Love it… low ground pressure with the wide tyres too I guess?

I’ve hired a small jcb telehandler on and off over the last two years, spent about £9k in hire… kicking myself not getting second hand one of these or a multi one like doobins.

The one we hire, jcb, weighs about 6 ton for a 2 ton lift and is murder over even reasonable ground or even a foot of MOT putting huge ruts in it…
I’m assuming these are a lot better?
Do any firms hire them? Can’t find anything local to me. Would suit my needs much more…

Thanks!

They just float over the turf mate, it's amazing.
