Bought new Takeuchi TB210R micro

[Liam1992]

Bobcat versions are usually cheaper than Doosan. Make sure you know what spec you are getting too- there's only a few options on the micro, off the top of my head there's the keypad ignition and demolition spec (extra oil cooler and hose guarding for travel motors) These being specced or not will swing the price either way.

Yeah I phoned to get a quote for a bobcat aswell but apparently they don't sell them even though the whole bobcat range is on there website, ok will have a look into that

 

[Liam1992]

That seems pointed




Ideal, somewhere to talk about @Liam1992 without him knowing

Just do it in the thread like u did last time , I'm gonna change my name to agridave then we can be FRIENDS

Are the dx10 not demo spec standard?

I think they are, which would explain the pricing.

That's what I was told when I bought mine, think the demo kit is £500 ish off the top of my head.
Although not sure if you can spec the keypad or if the newer dx10 have the switch by the levers to switch between blade and extending tracks rather than the awkwardly placed lever on the floor

My E10 has that button.

My E10 has that button.

The bobcats after about 2015 do but none of the doosans do at all.

Had a price in for 15.5 plus vat for the tb210r, unfortunately at that price will be staying with the doosan

Was speaking to a lad yesterday been quoted for a tb210r 15k plus vat. That's with manual q hitch and 3 buckets. He has a 108 to trade in and i think he was getting reasonable money for it (not silly ebay money mind)

If the Doosan is similar money new as Liam says it is then new kit prices are shooting up. That's some serious increase.

That said, what did they offer you/what can you get for the Doosan?

Also, you mgiht already know, but the TB210 is I think 76cm wide rather than the 71cm of the Doosan. Doesn't sound much but you only use a micro when access is tight and I have scratches down both sides of mine... I really wanted to try to TB210 as on paper it's a really powerful little piece but forced myself to discount it due to width and to be fair I'm glad I did.

I think the lack of new machines coming in to the country and strong demand currently is driving prices up. Tbf its not so much prices going up as dealers not knocking much if anything off list prices.

I got a quote for a doosan dx10 earlier for 15k plus vat

Try TVE in Oxford for a e10

Width is the reason i won't get rid of my 108 most micro work i get is digging house floors out and none of the micros at the bigger end fit in as easy. E10 would probably be a lot better than 210r. For the amount of use my 108 gets now no point investing 10k in a micro. I also like the fact 108 is only 3/4 ton you can manhandle it when you need to.

 

[Russell]

How wide is a 108?

 

[GazCro]

How wide is a 108?

Narrow down to about 670 or 680 i think. Dig end is a lot bigger on 210r so what you gain with less bum you more than lose on other end when your in a house.

First thread I have ever tidied up on here. Shoot me if you must, this isn't a moderated forum really I think you all know that but I think some things are best left for the private area, threads can go of onto different subjects and often do but some of the things mentioned well lets just say you never know whos looking in. I have no issue with it being talked about but just better not in a public forum

Off topic I Know
Have you done a bit of an update as well?
Slightly different at the replies section here.

I've noticed that but I'm on phone and i think either google or android have done an update so can't decide which. Anyhow this thread isn't the place for discussing this

 

[pettsy]

I was quoted 13850+V in 2019 for e10 and 3 buckets.

Went with a used one as couldn’t justify the extra cost.

Does anyone rate hitachi? Mini's

Tb210 is meant to be 750mm was part of the issue and still being on 25mm bucket pins. Pins not a massive issue but if needing to hire a breaker or auger everyone local is 30mm up.

To be fair the dx10 is meant to be 710 but it's at least 720 due to the stupid drop down arms not locking tight into position

2k price rise in two years is a bit mental to honest, but no stock till April so suppose it supply and demand

If it was less than the used one on eBay would have been a no brainer and would have advertised the dx10 just don't think could justify the the extra

not had a price on trade in but imagine they would have my pants down.

A year older with twice the hours E10 was up for 11.8k plus vat it sold but no idea how close to list price
