Did they ever contact u with a price for that 57 Hi spec ?
Tbf looking at that all good to go
Gripper/tophitch/forks/buckets
Might not be that daft a price by the time you put a tiltrotator and buckets on a 57 Hi spec.

Giles, sorry I wasn't clear - I meant the 57 with Rototilt @55k maybe isn't out of the way by the time you add the cost of tilty and buckets to that used 57 Hi spec with 2300hrs.

Never had anything to do with city pads but somehow don't fancy them and don't fancy hassle with steels ...even if it's customers perception about damage to drives etc.

Dobsons would swop it onto rubber I suppose ...as long as idlers and sprockets don't need changing at same time 🤔

Did you enquire Giles ?

EDIT : I see you did and got no response ....I'm guessing 37k 🤔

Buy up these tidy -4 models while you can lads, I've got a U50-5 on hire and we aren't getting on.... Cab is improved slightly but not enough to worry about but it drives horrible! Its now powered by a little 3cyl turbo and I assume they've had to turn the pump right up to get the flow required. Plenty of power - in fact, I never thought Id say this - its too quick! Makes grading very tricky.

Ive heard a few so-so reviews on the new u series.... I think the kx060-5 might be a better proposition.
Was it good on fuel ? Not kubotas strong point on the older models I've owned versus the equivalent JCB's.

Will it be making an appearance on your YouTube channel @Gunners ?

That would be a handy little machine, imagine it would pretty much go where the 71 goes but do everything a bit quicker....quote fancy the nox instead of engcon.

Hopefully got that u55 and engcon sorted for a couple of days next week.
Yeah that Kinshofer looks a tidy compact unit.👍
