Funny, I saw the same post and first thought was how heavy is that setup with buckets and flail!

pushing double what that trailer set up would be legally allowed to carry for sure

Id say more than that. 3.3t digger. Plus two buckets and a flail that's probably. Say 3.6 for the digger and bits. A good ton for the trailer. So 4.6t?

I’ve literally no idea of weight.. like Giles said I’d guess easy every bit of 4 ton.. it’s about 30 mins from me but I dunno would say that will be a hard sell

Should have though a bit more than that for a Hi-Spec machine..

Nope. I was quoted 30.5k in spring for a twin aux with hydraulic hitch and three buckets.

They are very well priced and seem to wear the hours ok. But just not for me- too uncomfy and the lack of offset to the left is awful.

Id have a look at that if it was over here......Could prob put up with the limited offset with a tilty i still offset a fair bit with the 6t but usually its because its doing jobs id of taken the 3t to before.

Yeah the lack of offset is a real swine on that Yanmar. Shame they had to do it that way as would almost certainly be a contender for me.
