JCB micro 8008?

[Russell]

Is it worth getting the deluxe version of the E10 with the oil cooler and quick hitch for a grand more?

 

[Mintsauce]

A hitch on a micro essential I would think.

i find I'm on and off micro diggers alot throughout the day so to me ease of access is important. I thought the side lever Takeuchi was pretty poor for access compared to the front lever machines.

Dig depth is good was at just over 2m and still had a bit to go. Couple of things I came across is when offset the boom will touch the track before it bottoms out for depth and the blade can be touched also

I can touch the cab with the bucket on my Komatsu 210 and the TB175's for that matter... but It's seemingly not a issue unless your blind

Yes, without a doubt.

Doosan Dx10z is the same machine and I'm sure it comes with the dual action hammer circuit as standard.

With quickhitch all the buckets will touch the boom and possibly with the 600mm touch the front upstand/console or whatever it's called, just wasn't expecting the boom to be able to touch the blade

Bobcat have just launched a deal with 5 years 0%!!!

You'd be crazy not to go for an E10 on that.

Guess who's pricing up a new E27 with selector grab...

be interested to know what the machine is without the grab Doob

With a narrow bucket I could put it alongside my cab and with the bucket off can park the QH on top of the rotary damned near ..... working short boom you need to remember not to take your eye off a 3 footer or bigger

Rhinoceros micro . Less than half the price of the competition for sale on Facebook. £5500 gets you a micro.

Whether you can face the thought of being stuck on one of those ?

39hrs ex demo - with toys

^ The auger is only about a grands worth, and 40 hours should still devalue a machine like that by a minimum of 1k. So that's overpriced in my book compared to the Bobcat, which is also about double the machine.

An interesting find, but a new Bobcat with servos on zero % finance looks a much better buy.

I just had no idea what they're worth guys?? ..... and yes Gra a new servo m/c on free finance is 100% more attractive

so what is one of them new then ??

 

[doobin]

13-14k depending upon spec.

My dx10z was 13.5 with spring quick hitch, 4 buckets and apparently dual action hammer circuit (although not tried it so can't confirm)

Wouldnt have one chucked home after me surely 5.5k would buy you a half decent used machine

 

[Mintsauce]

Looks a dreadful thing. 5.5k would get you something a bit more professional on the used market. Think a jcb .micro would be preferable to the rhino. It would hold it's value better if nothing else.

 

[pettsy]

Not sure if it’s any different in the “trade” but 5k will only get a grey import 1.5t on eBay. Edit: 5.5k gets a few better known machines

 

[Russell]

I don't know about 1.5 tonne but from what I have seen £5500 +vat will only get a s**t heap. I'm not snobby and don't mind a s**t heap but I would be worried about it breaking and needing £1000 or more to fix, I have a feeling track motors or slew motors could be pricey.

They still come up occasionally a 1.5T with some work left in it for 5.5K ish - and it will have bottomed out at that .... same money back when your done with it., with the Rino you will be hanging around for a muppet to turn up when you want shut

 

[Russell]

I'm not interested in those rino things. It looks to me like the e10 is the best choice
