Anyone had a shot of these HZM Chinese minis ?
I know a lot of the Chinese stuff gets bad press but the Sany now seem to be doing well and the price of these are too cheap to ignore .

Never heard of them

that looks much like the French Sauterelle things ... can buy as a kit or pre-built - to a degree

would need to be a massive slice less than any comp to make me even consider one ... what's a 1.8 from the players guys? and how far short of their figures is £14k Plus the dreaded?

Thanks for the heads up.....looks like another one to avoid!!

Would have to be a brave soul to buy one of them.

Sunward which is mentioned on here a few times is probably a good shout but there not a great deal cheaper.

I would watch this space for any brands like that over the next few years and see how they progress. The Katoimer story is one that people will remember.

Some of you may have seen Jansen light equipment for sale too, they are also pulling out of the uk for brexit issues.

Saw one for real today. Wouldn’t be for me. But maybe some one with a small hobby farm. It might be ok for digging an odd gate post or a trench for water pipe. Pulling cow shite out of the cornors of sheds. At 14 thousand pounds. Brand new it can’t be that bad. An equivalent size well none make at that money is going to be well down the years or well up the hours. The man that buys this won’t be thinking about change’n every three to five years. And it looks pretty basic in the cab. So if it lays around unused for a while there isn’t many electrics to give trouble. Kubota 3 cylinder engine which is a great little engine in my opinion. Spose the problems will arise getting parts if or should I say when it breaks down.

Enough Chinese stuff in the world without buying anymore

Where was that at, I saw a Chinese one on a trailer on the motorway the other day , can't remember if it was like that or a micro...... just remember it was Chinese

Looks like a ruggarini engine copy (cam belt) I wouldn’t fancy digging a 9” trench with that quick hitch

I know this is against current thinking but I’m betting that the Chinese will very soon get good kit built . I’m old enough to remember when a lot of people thought the jap and especially Korean built machines were unreliable and wouldn’t last . I’m hearing some good reports on the sanys

The Chinese already do, XMCG and Sany.

The rest is dogshit IMHO.

I suppose it's a matter of waiting for the good stuff to stand the test of time and the rest will eventually fail

 

[Vinpetrol]

Any dealers for the xcmg in the uk yet

 

[Regy53]

The sunward I sat in was very tidy.

it really comes down to the manufacture pushing and supporting the uk and not doing a katoimer
