do you have hydraulic top hitch to drop off the engcon for muck aways ?

Yeah I have the top hitch, but I only drop tilty off when I put the breaker on, which has been a grand total of once! In some respects a direct fit tilty would of been a better option, but then Iv just purchased a farm which has loads of concrete to break up over the next few years so it’s give and take I guess!

How is business just now Ross, are you managing to shift anything at the moment?

There are indeed people asking about machines for sale, we had a solid March. Its obviously flat and difficult. We have been offered some nice gear but not as much as you would think just yet . I assume the questions on our sales machines are people bored at home.

Greenshields JCB put an email out recently offering a new 2019 65R with three buckets and a hitch plus servicing to 2000hrs for 38k.

I didn’t mind the 65 but it wasn’t as well laid out at the 57(with them being a older generation it had the old cab switchgear and interface) i wouldn’t say it was any more productive, the front blade was huge, I bet it projects at least 1ft further than on the 57, making it abit cumbersome. Hard to tell in this photo from one I ran for 3months.

Just out of interest is the engine on the 57 side or rear

Engine side with pump facing forwards, everything else on the rear, probably one of the best laid out bays I have come across thinking about it 👍🏼

May be a personal thing and newer ones might not be as bad but I've always found side engine position gives me a bad head. Ain't so bad in small doses but a full day with engine noise coming into one ear doesn't agree with me. As i say might be a personal thing but worth checking out

I keep an eye on your website Ross .... but I guess a lot of the kit that goes through your hands never makes it that far ?

To be brutally honest, I update three platforms, mascus, eBay and the site for some reason I always forget the site 🙄

I’ve got you as a saved seller on eBay, not that I’m in the market for buying much!

I’d agree, but this thing is full of sound proofing, if you open the side window your going to get a headache but with it closed all is good! A/C is mega on the new ones which helps for these 3 days of sunshine a year 👍🏼
