Conventional tail swing minis

[Vinpetrol]

Its a Yanmar SV26. Exactly same machine. I'd say that was steeper side for sure. Most recent price I've had was a Wacker EZ26 same hyd hitch, buckets etc. That was £32500. The Kobelco/Yanmar will be proportional, but bate in mind the offset boom only goes 45degs to the left. An annoying feature I find.

I think the Volvo offsets more one way than the other . It’s never bothered me much on the ec18.
So th kobelco is a yanmar! Do yanmar cover all the kobelco mini range ?

If it is prop control , it looks a good set up . Anyone see the yanmar 26 ?

Looked at a vio27 looked nice, didn't try it as no salesman about, plus was after a cts

I just priced the kobelco 26 today with 3 buckets and hydraulic geith hitch and 2 way hammer lines (I don't know if they are proportional) it comes in at 34950 . Seems dear to me . What do you think ?

Sounds very dear. They can’t want to sell many!

When I pointed this out he directed me to the zero swing versions the same size which were cheaper and all in stock . No mention at all of a movement in his price . I like the look of it though but not at that money

I got a price on a Volvo ec27d demonstrator . 31.5K with hydraulic hitch and 3 buckets . Offered 7K trade in on my 2012 ec18C
How does that sound ?

Yeah I had a manual hitched EC27D priced to me in November for £29.5k (he said that was last year's prices though and have since had a rise) so yours doesn't sound far off. What kind of hours has it done demonstrating. I imagine some might give it some s**t if they have one out on demo?

It’s done 74 hours . Still looks new right enough

Would it qualify for 130% against tax ?

Grey zone and would be down to accountant. I know someone who bought a prereg pickup and they managed to get the SD, suppose the demonstrator could be similiar as not actually owned by anyone, but if you get it wrong that could be 7k in tax owed (if my quick maths are right)

What emission controls are on mini digger tier5 engines?

They break down more, to save fuel

I'd like to know as I may go for an older low houred one to avoid egr and dpf

They don't have dpf on them at that size I dont think?? Have you looked at the Kubota kx027 and kx030? I haven't tried either but to my mind these these should tick all the right boxes, proper counterweight, still decent sized engines. I think a few on here have tried them with mixed feedback

I just looked into the Volvo ec27d D1.Da engine it has passive regeneration since 2019.
that Might put me off.

I will look into the kubota 27

Is that not on larger motors over IIRC 35-ish hp??

 

[Nick...]

I’m not a fan of mini diggers with huge arses.i know we don’t all work in tight spaces but with my ecr25d I know where the rear of the machine is all the time.as long as I got a couple inches between track and anything else I know I’m ok.machine will be 6 in August and still no scratches on the counterweight

I think your right, my 2021 Ec27d Volvo has the D1.Da engine which is a rebadged Kubota and doesn't have dpf/regen.
