Just a rebadged eurocomach

the more I looked at 'em the more I thought the same ..... be interesting to know if they're any cheaper
Kevin @Furniss ought to be the man for the inside track ?

Looks like it wants to go on a protest

VA on a 19 but not a 26? Seems odd.

I think the 1.9 has been updated fairly recently. I would guess either the va on the 2.6 is coming with the next update or they seem it pointless as too heavy to tow.
Also I think that is one machine that really does need an arse on it.

I enquired with eurocomach & was told a tab boom was in development for 3T range.Unfortunately wouldn’t say any more.

The Eurocach certainly catch your eye with the specs but I haven't been over impressed with the look of the used ones ive seen and there are no dealers near us as far as im aware, the outfit that did have a few in are now Cat dealers - things have moved on here as there was literally nothing 20 years ago and now in town we have Kubota, Case and the above mentioned Cat, then you have to go approx 1hr away to find the rest.

The Kubota crew in town were a shower when I dealt with them and 1/2 the filters in a very expensive service kit for the 8t were wrong and the lad behind the counter said "we dont fill the boxes " hey ho ...the hat fit though

The local Case outfit fit my Engcon and although the rep (who has since left) got it wrong bucket wise the rest of the lads down there seem spot on and if buying new I would have looked here.

But tbh if the WN proves reliable I'll be having same again when the time comes.

Anyhow ive digressed a bit.

The 4.5 looks quite nice to be fair,the 1.9 to my mind just looks too much for this size machine,if you’re on a job requiring that boom on a zero tail sub 2 tonner then you probably need a micro instead.

I thought they where just badge engineered. Didn't realize they bought them.

Was in a cx35d at the case dealers, wasn’t overly impressed tbh, felt like you sat on the digger, not in it, the joysticks and cab fit out was very cheap, joysticks were like the joystick you got for airplane games on pc 20 years ago. Could be very reliable and a great digging thing but I wasn’t overly impressed on first impressions
