do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Are Hanix still for sale in UK this is one I owned about 25 to 30 years ago at the time was a bloody good mini digger but then rubber tracks came in but was not as powerful on the blade as this one This use to be called nissen N120 I think
Hannix had a rep for being strong .... looked for a 5t one for a while .. have a mate with one and for it's size it's damned good

Who are the dealers for the Eurocomach?
Was or is robustrack or however it's spelt but don't expect them to come back with prices.
The eurocomach and the case look smart just too big for a micro

Generally it’s the width that’s the killer. To fit a slightly larger engine and nice to have things like proportional control for the aux, they just have to be a touch wider at 760mm-820mm depending upon brand.

Hence @Gunners very accurate comment about two classes of micro. I’d love a Eurocomach with twin proportional aux, but the e10 is the currently only micro for me. As a ‘true’ micro at 710mm wide, it’s a miracle how much engineering and indeed comfort they can fit into such a narrow chassis. I can operate all day and not feel cramped or tired.

The jokers at New Holland locally have a FB advert for the 1.7 tonner. a rebadged Hyundai just like I bought for £14k in 2017. £22,250, limited time offer, be quick! Yeah OK, dream on.

Apparently the absoloute best price they could do for me as a local customer was £21,250... HG plant sales are advertising the Hyundai version for £17,995.

I really don't know why New Holland even bother trying to sell. Nobody wants them, they could at least be cheaper. It's not a bad machine, but that pricing structure is nuts. Between Bobcat and Doosan there's usually only £500-£1000 in it, you can afford to pick a close dealer you like for that difference. But not £22k vs 17k for a 1.7t!

I think in this country the dealers don't want the hassle. They just want to sell what they know. Tractors combines and balers. Rare to even see a new Holland telehandler

Only know of two new Holland diggers locally, both owned by farm contractors who also run new Holland tractors 🤣

Absolute joke! 6k over priced . Do they actually get people buying at these prices or do they lay around that long they drop to realistic prices and then sell as special offer? 🤯
