Micro Digger Comparisons - the vote

[doobin]

So basically over priced shite then

The Bobcat is still a great micro despite any paint issues. I'd call over 50% of the vote a landslide in any election!

19k doesn't sound overpriced to me for the Eurocomach when you consider the piston pumps, tracking pedals and twin aux on rollers. Although it's a shame to hear that it's not put together quite as well as you might hope.

well the kobelco is out. £20k+vat without buckets

As interesting as it looks I'll bet its equally disappointing in every respect.

For out jobs it might be useful! You'd be surprised how much fun a shovel ISNT after the first 5 minutes

I wasn't on about the access situation. Just the machine in general.

How wide was that gap? Looks like you'd get a normal micro in...(before I get shot I said 'looks like')

I have more work for the micros than I do the bigger stuff.

 

[Giles]

yep it's his

It’s not this one came from contractor up near Buxton selling up, Percy was asking me about it last week and other stuff

Sorry should have said, not my machine or picture, just found it on my phone.
Good luck to the owner with restoring it, and anything beats a shovel

3 years ago the sunbird was 12.5k and bobcat was 13.1k. Was a no brained for £600 difference.

I had a good look round one but not actually dug anything. But you could tell they are cheaply mate.

Yeh they must be cheap made to be around 4k cheaper than likes of kubota u10-5.The re sale value would prob be horrendous as well !
