I didn't really consider the E20z as I was convinced I didn't want zero tail, plus I thought it was cab only (turns out you can get canopy models too)
Depends on your work I suppose but for me the stand out on positive on the U17 after my 801 is the zero swing
never used a zero swing before and its brilliant not to have to watch the arse end when your up close.
........love the stabilty of the KX71-3 it makes it superb for grading compared to my 8t kubota with its tilt bucket that shows you up if you dont concentrate on being smooth.... just graded off a few hundred m2 of 0-30mm with it and its hard work to get a mint finish, hydraulically its brilliant but nodds as you come to grade which spoils it.
Stability was what I was looking for with the E19, especially running grab and rotator. And it is super stable. I guess we can't have it all!Depends on your work I suppose but for me the stand out on positive on the U17 after my 801 is the zero swing
Not sure whether i would go zero swing on my 3t,only ever had (for a brief time) one zero swing 3t and it was a 8027 zts JCB and it was the worst machine I have ever used , would even move if you were arm out cross undercarriage
Took it for granted before but the kx71 makes you realise how much better a stable machine is compared to a noddy fecker.
No1 priority for next machine
I'd expect the tracking should be better with high torque motors tbh unless its short of flow to them which may be the issue and nowt you can do about that. If the pump is that bad I'd be at them about it tbh. Are they sure its the pump? Could be a bad valve.
I don't think mine would do anything at 1700rpm!!! Always needs to be flat out to do much, I find. It's the same engine as in the E10 ffs!
My dx10 is the same, flat out and still feels like could do with a few more rpmI don't think mine would do anything at 1700rpm!!! Always needs to be flat out to do much, I find. It's the same engine as in the E10 ffs!
Just had a price off CAT for the 1.9t with canopy, 21k. Can't see the E19 being much less than 20k currently. I paid 19k back in end of 2020 for full spec with every option ticked including hydraulic hitch.
Mines very noisy too, I wear noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders if I’m on it all day. It’s the whine of the pump like you say, I get home at night and I can swear I can still hear it like tinitus...
That's not bad from cat. I've had a few cat minis and they have always been good machines, I got put off when they went to wacker nuson machines and put cat badges on. Not bad machines to druve but not for me owning one. Hence going with bobcat/doosan when they came back 5k cheaper back in 2017. I had a price from cat last year but they had only got basic selection available, rest on long lead times so I spent some money on a grab lorry instead.I don't think mine would do anything at 1700rpm!!!

You must think I'm crazy. What could I replace it with? Every manufacturer is lying through their teeth with regards to wait times. Anyhow, my op likes it so that's all that really matters from a business point of view.
I'm talking about emissions regs, and anything over 26hp needing DPF or AdBlue.
But ur e19 isn't 25hp though is it it's way short of that aren't they only about 13hp. So there's loads more power before dpf comes into it. But the simple fact remains when you make so many models they can't all be optimised.
