Firm I used to work for back in the late 90's had an EX100 - I used it occassionally and thought it was a nice machine - had done plenty of hours and been typically Hitachi bullet proof.

If it's who I'm thinking off, he's a concrete supplier. This machine is just his weekend plaything and never gets near the workplace

Was dead on, people get carried away when it comes to shifting diggers, they use massive tractors that aren’t needed imo

You must have very flat ground there are several hills around here that anything less than 130hp simply isn't heavy enough to get up
They have the power but just wheelspin
And down hill they just aren't the boss of the trailer

Plenty of hills here, that’s why I load the digger to the front of the trailer, keep the weight on the tractor. Only time I couldn’t get up a hill was with a Deutz M620 with that Herron low loader and an Volvo EC140b on it. The T5060 we had managed to take an ex135 up the same hill....

I don't like having them to far forward after the hooks that holds the pickup hitch up on a t6080 cracked
Also a hill round here that several people have ended up with the tractor doing a wheelie from to much nose weight and getting stuck until the machine is unloaded and tracked up separately

Started a new one today. Shed going in here so everything is to clear up and strip the soil and stone, then foundations to go in. First job is get plastic off these bales of shite and then get them and the piles of dung moved
