There was a TB225 on plant trader the other day with a powertilt hitch. Had done 200hrs. I noted it had gone within days @£28k

Worth a try that if anyones looking ...it might handle it fine.
Tempted to swop my u17 and kx71 in for similar at some stage but not orange.

So theres a question? Do you think a 2.5/3 tonner with tiltrotator would do away with the 1.7 ton machine ?

Nope, you still have the access restrictions which are pronounced between those two weight classes.

My micro or 1.9t come out when the 2.7t won’t fit, and that’s always been the way tilty or no tilty.

Not really as its about access, we do inside work with 1.7t kubota which goes in 80% of our renov jobs after which we hire a micro ....urgggh :)

But 6t with tilty pretty much replaces 3t machine if you can move it that is.

Something like 2t with tilty that went down to 1m wide would be ideal partner for 6t.
