I still wouldn't want one. Actually had 10 mins in one on a job (builder has one) not long enough to be too critical but to be fair there was nothing really bad just nothing special. I'd say that if that is their first attempt at a machine for the european market then its a good start point for next one's. Although it may be all they can do. There's gimmicky stuff too like autostart (turn key to start position and then back to ig on and it then sorts starting itself automatically) not needed on a digger, certainly before you've built a good machine to operate first. Trouble is that's the sh*t that sells these days to the polishers.
I had a look at one and only sat in it for a minute, no digging as was in their yard on concrete. Weren't quite sold on it but glad I didn't. Mainly from finding out others had paid about 2k less only week or so before and secondly the used prices aren't looking favourable same as the sunward. In the last year or so there has been a big push on Chinese machines with sany, sunward and xcmg but who will be left standing or will they all pull out

Nope rather pay the extra and not give anymore money than I have to, to China

Bankrolled by their government put competition out of business then the world is your oyster.
Heard other day you can buy house there but when you die it goes back to the government, not sure if correct!

Currently they still think cost alone will do luckily.
sooner or later though, they're gonna catch on as to what is required to achieve their goals .... they're eventually going to hire in consultants to tell 'em what their problem is :oops:

Maybe, but unlike the Japanese and Koreans that you could say went before them who started out with the attitude of building better to start with the Chinese and their huge population just see numbers and cheap as the solution to everything.

agreed .... but if when they do start to address the 'perceived/actual problems' the tish'll hit the fan

I wonder if rising intrest rates and increasing depreaciation will have much of an affect on machine hire prices?

dunno what this was new, but if it was an Eu m/c it'd be at least 4 times that asking price ... in its defence, it's survived 14 years so far :giggle: ... would wanna be brave or dull to take it on .. What they like @Conor

quite a surprising number of mobiles on FB MP ... all the way up to £845k for a Demag 350-6:oops: .... not yer average bit of overpriced junk one'd expect to see on there
Sorry missed this Graham, have had them on jobs and always lifted what was needed 👍🏻 a lot more basic, reminds me of the old tadanos certainly wouldn’t have the comfort or technology of the liebherr or demag etc. but at a fraction of the price no doubt… huge amount of them working in the Middle East in difficult conditions so can’t be that terrible. Most of the ones I seen had the old sticks, not the modern servo type controls
