[V8Druid]

We came in from the ride on the bike and our daughter said " you know I'm not scared of insects as a rule but I just saw some horrendous sodding thing crawl across the table" when we found it Google said it was a house centipede never seen one before but by feck it could get a shift on

we get the orange ones here, but they'r no where near as evil looking as that mutha

Bloody good wee digger, very smooth. Dipper could do with being faster, hard to “flick” stone and soil about when levelling. Plenty of power and reach, good dump height. Can’t comment on dig depth as I’ve only went to about 3ft deep so not sure. Would be my first choice if buying one. Being 770mm wide might put some people off, personally not an issue for me.

It's sh1t what they do to shape gardens in. Number we've altered over last few years on customer care is amazing.

Given correct drivers they will,first words site mgr said to me,dumper drivers are cheap....but useless, wasn't wrong,
Was digging up lol top soil so they'd have destroyed that n the sub soil that had been leveled,better loose half a day than a few days putting it all right again, absolutely poured down on way back to London

Powerful and smooth

I've used a few of them as well and loads of power and smooth and very compact for tight spaces

Always thought they looked a good wee machine, look like they punch well above their weight

All hitachis do. Rubbish cabs below 13t and some people think they are jerky but they dig a lift like hell. And they do put up with abuse really well tbh
