Be a cracking setup for someone

@Storrsy you should buy it … get bored of it and sell it to me for £25k +vat in a couple years …
My wife has already promised penalties if I spend any money on anything that’s not DIRECTLY required for finishing the shed…

Trouble is it's a zero and the engcon is a bit wasted on me for much of my work.

Really? All that reprofiling of moorland tracks that you post? Even more control and angles when placing walling blocks?

Plus it's a top hitch so you can easily drop it off for max lift. Soon sort out a counterweight for it.

Oh- and it's that magic weight you were looking for for towing also.

Don't try to reason with him, you'll only make him worse

280kg lift capacity at max reach though on the E26. Minus an engcon (70kg?) and grab (100kg) not going to have much capacity at reach, Or jumpy as anything?

Is it zero? No Z. Thought it was minimal swing?

Presumably rated lift capacity and what you can actually do with it ... are not same thing?

 

[Storrsy]

Near as damn it zero . It has 40mm more tail swing over the 27z.

It probably won't be hydraulically limited as much as tipping. Be nice to try it out of interest tbh

Haha been down that road before with another kingsbridge based forum member who shall remain nameless. Go and look at a duck together, encourages me to buy it with the promise to buy it for an agreed amount should I get bored.The time comes and he's changed his mind

Different thread, sorry.
(Essentially electricians are (and this is a massive generalisation) confused rip-off merchants who might or might not seek sexual relations with others with the same genetic makeup.
I now realise you were referring to an entirely different member who might or might not be an electrician, and I can only apologise for any confusion incurred.

Not my fault you only choose to keep it a week

@doobin that's a short dipper on that E26 isn't it? Seems like they've changed the design of the boom compared to older E26 to make it more hire friendly

So I've emailed him it's £30kplus vat for all of it Inc augers etc.

So how does this work then when wanting to take the grab off? Does the grab plug into the engcon through quick release connectors? Assuming the engcon itself has a hyd hitch but then attached with a manual top hitch? In some ways it'd be more appealing to me if it was just a standard 4 pipe engcon rather than a control system as then could take it off and put it on my Wacker too.

You could change it to a 4 pipe system at relatively little cost. Well, six pipe if it’s a hydraulic hitch. Although it may be manual, can’t tell.

You’re right, it does look like a short dipper.a well specced machine. It’s a four piper too.

I really think you should get it bought mate. Can’t believe it’s still there at 30k.
