I've had some rough prices on the phone for 2.6t machines, and i was shocked tbh and made that clear to the sales rep

shocked in what sense ? dearer or cheap(er) than expected?

£36k for a conventional swing Takeuchi with hyd qh and 3 buckets

Havent had it in an email yet, but it's a massive increase in my eyes.

My 13T case new in 2016 was £65.5k with 3 buckets, that machine now is over £90k with no buckets.

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

According to the spec it has passive regeneration !
I’d really like to know either way and if you have one that’s a fair indication unless they’ve added it more recently

Yeah, assuming same dealer as you. I was quoted between £36-38 for a TB230. He might be getting that from others but he won't be from me! Kubota not much better either. Shame really but hey ho. M and M were a bit more competitive and actually seemed like they wanted to sell a machine.

Looks like the time to buy one of these low houred fresh machines that are going to flood the market .... but no good for your 130%

When are they going to flood the market though. Everyone said that a year ago and no sign of them in my eyes

I'd doubt he'd let on to the dealer if it was cheaper than expected!

when i was looking my local kubota dealer was way off the mark, must have been a good 3k more than seen other paying only a week or so before, on top of that their service pricing was just over 1.3k to 1000 hours plus £85 per hour driving to and from site

I've been looking at used 2.8t minis this week and I can't help but think they want nearly same price as they were when they were new.

Be interesting to see what they go for at euros this week

 

[Storrsy]

I guess we're all moaning about new prices, but doesn't make any odds if used prices continue to hold strong. It'd be annoying if the £34k machine I buy now is only £10k in 5 years time with 3000 hours on it. Its a gamble.

That's really strange, do you have a very up to date spec. sheet ?

Anyone used or own a yanmar SV26 ?
What’s the yanmar engine like ?

Used a Yanmar SV26 for a week's hire, not a bad machine tbf, the one I had on hire had a terrible hitch with it which ruined the machine due to such poor geometry. I didn't feel the Yanmar had squite the same guts as I'm used to with my TB125, nor quite as smooth but that was likely a case of getting used to it. It was quicker though.l
The engine is the same as I run in both my 2 ton thwaites and also the TB125. Can't go wrong Superb engine IMO, literally seems to run on fresh air and I've run that same engine in varying TB125s for well over 6000 hrs with no issues whatsoever, bar a new thermostat on one.

 

[DaveDCB]

Had Nothing wrong with any yanmar engines I’ve had in anything. Nor do you hear many bad things about yanmar in general to be fair!

 

[Vinpetrol]

I’m seriously considering this

It is the same as the kobelco and the same price but a really good deal on my Volvo . it’s got extra services prop control on both sides throwing in extra counter weight ,comes with long dipper , 4 buckets , hydraulic quick hitch and led lamps

 

[Smiffy]

The yanmars look smart in red now
