Been sat on top terrace with my 6t today passing stones and gear down to the bottom terrace....no 8t would fit on it and no 3t would reach the bottom !

Put that in your pipe and smoke it 🤪
Had many sizes of machine, micro/1.4/1.5/1.7/2.5/6/8/3cx/13ton
Stuck with 6ton as it works for me, everything else is hired in now. Often think 8ton would be better as I work to the upper limits of the machine more often than not, but on the smaller sites a 8ton is just too big and clumsy for no real extra digging power/volume.

Still have it. It's always for sale, but no particular rush to get shot of it and haven't advertised it other than here- I'm working on Rory to buy it at the moment- I think he'll crumble soon.🤣
You’ll be hoping that the Ped roller holds itself together for a while then !

Looks great mate especially on the steels. What sort of hours/year/price if you don’t mind me asking? They hold their money well and run high hours with not many issues, nice machines.
Aye she looks well on the 600s should be very light on her feet and stable! Just under 2800 hours, 2014 owner Op machine. mid 20s with 4 not very special buckets a near new quick hitch and spare part worn rubbers...just a shame the rototilt was removed :(:ROFLMAO:
