Yeah she’s wide, maybe too wide
Well I needed to see how stable she was!

be very interesting to compare how it stands up against a 2500mm std version ...... on the same tyres ... those'll have made a big difference today .... open that pic up in a new tab and zoom it .... no 'squidge' to be seen ..... at all ... and that's what starts yer lean over

Take it you've enjoyed your baptism today then .... so have you cancelled the low loader's return yet

Yeah I’m curious I must admit.

The tyres are great, exactly why I took a photo to show how stable they are.

I certainly have, opened my eyes to new rhelms. It’s due back on Tuesday

Second day on the duck has gone well, got it into its natural habitat I don't think it will take too much to get stuck before having to pull yourself out with the bucket.

I struggled to fit through a gate way so i think the wider under carriage would be a pain.

Fuel consumption is an improvement to my hitachi

That really looks a smart machine. What are your thoughts on ducks, having had a couple of days playing? Can you live with one?
Have you had a go out on the road yet?

It’s a very smart machine mate. I think they’re cracking machines, very stable smooth and easy enough to use.
A duck will be more suited to my kind of work, there will be times that I can see it being a pain but I’m sure I’ll get over it, plus I have a 6tonne slew if needed.
It’s not something I would want to drive into a slurry pit with but I don’t really do any farm work.

I took it down the road briefly but the road is seriously uneaven so didn’t get a proper run.
