Check you out pretending that you actually lift that little wacker like that .... when we know you just hook front jaw of the hitch round the handle
....or are you out to impress Graham

Can't grab handle with front jaw as the lock blocks it

1340, yea find it a good size, not too big and not too small and there's good enough power with it

There not too bad with the handle open and a drop chain, it's better than most plates that size that don't have a lifting point

Interesting to see how you get on with the saw, i bought one just to try something different to Stihl, and had trouble with it, although it is powerful, but heavy?

 

[Thomas7740]

It is a heavy saw but everything i cut is on the ground so to me i find it easier than our stihl, I find the light stihl can bounce out of the ground if you aren't putting enough pressure on, whereas the weight of the wacker keeps it in the ground itself

I have chance of a Bomag BVP 18/45 which is similar size ..... was looking

It's not so bad if you've half an idea what it'll be like but it usually happens on those ones you're just trying to "fit in"

Yea filled up ground, nice fill tho, must of been filled dry and tracked in

Back to a job i was at in January, back then dug founds and reduce dug and out some rubble and stone in for a patio area. Back now to put a few gulleys in and stone up the patio areas etc

Narrow access job so micro digger is on the job, kx008-3 was there in January, was ok, not bad not great. Today i went to pick a micro up, got this bad boy

2015 Wacker Neuson 803. Initial impressions are good. Powerful, smooth hydraulics (smooth for a micro) and well balanced. Never used a wacker micro before so was a nice change from the usual Bobcat, kubota and yanmar options.

Quite a powerful little digger, the kx008-3 couldn't get this old found out but the 803 done it with not too much stress

Early days yet but i like it, has a really good geometry but so far the supplied hitch has let it down badly, so much wear, will get pics tomorrow. Seating position and lever position is good, although the footpedals arent great. Has a good enough amount of boom swing for a micro

 

[Grahams]

Any idea what the extra set of hydraulics on the undercarriage are for? Tipping trailer? Logging winch?
