Cheaper than Bobcat. If you 100% never want to go narrower than 750mm... then more bang for buck.. but as others have said , plenty of jobs I woulnt have got in with anything bigger than E10. Often rubbing on both sides on garage doorways and down side gates.
Doosan dx10 is advertised at £16750 at my local dealer. So dare say you be able to knock abit off that too.

My dx10 and Kubota kx016-4 have lived outside all their lives, I appreciate undercover is nice and you seem quite particular about the newness etc but a simply lean to or just roof shelter would be more than adequate but if you’ve room and funds for another building stick a bigger one up always need more room.

@kato512 - you the man! Order placed. delivery next week. HITACHI ZX17U. £16k inc delivery, also managed to figure out a way to claim the VAT back through one of my businesses. Big thanks to everyone who helped on this one, particularly those who suggested going a size up than the Micro and steering me away from Chinatown.

Also it's an Hitachi so the paint doesn't disintegrate at the thought of a shower

Hired one a few times and always thought it was a decent machine. Felt quite high up sitting in it but think you've done well there for the money👍

Case and new Holland are always stupid money.

Take other manufacturers prices for the same class machines to the dealer and tell them to match it. They will in the current climate, they need to sell.
Whenever I get a chance I’m going to go see Aiden’s E10, seems to be better value than new. Plus with an E10 Atleast I know it will fit most places, if it doesn’t fit then I don’t want the job 😅

I love a new digger day!

@kato512 is the fairy godmother of plant deals, he found me the 3k tilty and even messaged the bloke again a week later when it looked like the original buyer hadn't collected it! I owe him/her a stack of beers at the PT get together for sure.

Kato mate I don't even know what you do? What plant do you run?

Ha I think I'm male 🤣
I used to work in England/Scotland during the week putting up and maintaining wash plants pre Brexit and brought home small plant and machines for my bro to refurbish and sell on.
Now I'm an office monkey unless jobs are behind. I only play with plant at the weekend's but have access to a skidsteer, telehandler, tracors, diggers cherry pickers, chipper and a small firewood processor and a full engineering workshop.
