Micro/mini diggers

Cooler/demo kit was standard on the doosan.

My changeover lever has started to go a bit stiff, wonder if it's possible to retro fit the changeover valve and bung a switch in the spare slot.

When I get it back I'll take the floor cover off and see if it's just a build up of crud

6 x 2 diverter valve will do what you want Brendan

Just a case of getting at it and seeing what connections are there?

Mines on floor think it’s not an option on dousan, would prefer it on dash but can live with it as for getting on with it yeah love it . Basically bought it for my house extension but it’s earns it’s keep and paid for itself within 100 hours can’t argue with that

More room on it than a u55 lol although knees get bit stiff after 4 hours in seat etc

Got a few jobs it’ll come in handy for this year not connected up breaker yet but need to

U10-5 is on the try out list though

Geometry on u10-5 is supposed to be better but I couldn’t live with the extra width.

Maybe I’ll switch the e10 to
s30 also.

U10-5 750mm wide
E10 710mm wide
Sv 08 680mm wide

I've been on plenty of jobs where my sv08 has been touching both sides of the alley/door, so the bobcat wouldn't fit, never mind the kubota!
Still going to look into a E10 though, but it would be to go with the sv08, not replace it
What spec would you recommend, options etc, if there are any on a machine this small !
What hitch and buckets would you go for? Cheers

 

[Giles]

Luckily width hasn’t been a major problem for us we don’t tend to do back yard jobs in small houses etc and if there was that tight can hire a jcb micro for a bit of self flagellation but probably find a way to get dx10/u10 in.

More for us lifting into jobs, and to assist in quick jobs like drain repairs or breaking out etc, towed easily with track barrow etc treat it more like a mini than a micro I mean they are 1.2 ton lol

Anyone driven a eurocomach?

My E10 is 30mm pins ?

S30 is different. Very low build height

Would you go s30 180

 

[doobin]

Would you go s30 180

yup i think thats standard? and thats what the other two are on.

There's a 150 version but makes sense to match the 180 that the larger machine is on and can share attachments easy.

Are you fitting a standard hitch to it?
I've seen steelwrist do a tilt hitch on s30 180 but no idea on cost

I've been trying to find the thread, I believe@Pedrod has fitted a s30 Compacttilt hitch which was cheaper than the Steelwrist, Not sure to what machine but I know they do one micro size ?

E10 tilt bucket.

Not sure. @DaveDCB might tell us. It's definitely no bigger

@Giles on the dx10 which of the aux hoses are flow for the breaker?

I had an auger on mine before but had to buy the connectors, but auger was working both ways so either the 50/50 chance of having them the right way was either correct or didn't matter

I’ve not connected mine up yet still blanked off? So @doobin would be better to ask
