Damn, if this was on the mainland I'd go for it... my wife would kill me, but that's a minor detail

 

[doobin]

Doesn’t look to have done much work.

's one tidy looking unit that, but 40mil pins???
looks to need a control system too .. not a 4 piper

That’s got to be on Aiden’s doorstep @CPS . I will be surprised if he doesn’t know it’s history !

It's a good price, looks like it's been used very little or had a decent touch up. I contacted them no control system and "came off a bobcat"
Not the greatest of information so either some odd reason to sell it on its own or it's been "liberated" from somewhere

 

[TiltyShaun]

My guess is it was on a zero tail with S40 buckets that where too heavy!!

That would make sense , shame it’s on 40mm pins and S40 pick up . What size pins are on your bobcat ? @doobin is yours a 4 pipe set up ?

 

[Brendan]

Apparently it was on an ec27 so either a mistake for it being a bobcat e27 or being a Volvo, I tried to get a price for just the control side of it and they wanted the serial number and was told it was sold when I asked for the serial number. Apparently according to engcon there isn't a S40 and all ec02 are S30?

Yes four pipe s30 top and bottom. Has through ports for both auxiliary and hitch also.

How are you getting on with it? Happy with the purchase?

Very much so. Couldn’t go wrong for 3k.

On the lookout myself for a used tilty either attached to a 2.5t digger or without.
Just had a couple of the days on the u17 and whites hitch special - i know its not apples and apples the 6t v a 1.7t but it takes so long trying to tidy up without a tilty ...saves days for us.

Feels like operating with both hands tied behind your back and only one foot to operate the joysticks doesn’t it?

You beat me to the punch on that one when it was on facebook
Never got round to pulling the trigger on one, although as much as I want one the cost keeps it as a no, that and the 8026 has one hammer line which needs the pedal valve changing to use as a 2 hose or needing to get another 2 hoses added, new levers and what ever else needed to move the pedal control to the lever.

Probably cheaper to change machine to one with twin hammer lines already on it and run a 4 pipe system than to go for the 2 pipe system

How well can the small ones dig on their own?
As in, digging out the last metre or so of tench where you can get the digger into.
Lately keep being stuck between machines although a 1.5-2t would probably fill the gap. The problem is I have a huge difference in size between the dx10 and the 8026, probably wouldn't be as bad if was zero tail or even if it could just dig inline with it's track

Reminds me of that game where they try get an apple out of a drum of water with their hands tied behind the back .....bizarrely wtf ‍♂

Yes to be fair the 4 pipe from engcon new is what, 7k these days? Although pricey I’d say it would pay for itself.

Not well. You have to be realistic, there is way less slew force on a 2.7t than a 9t, and as for a 1.9t, don’t even go there! Slightly offset is fine, at 90 degrees to the trench is impossible unless it’s silly soft sand and a narrow bucket.

But a tilty is invaluable for tidying up, as @Furniss said.

 

[V8Druid]

well with a bit of 'fiddling' that unit could become a 4 piper, with not a lot of effort .......... but 40mil pins top and bottom
