Ross if you get any cat 428c or 432d's in can you give me a shout. Not in a rush for one. Just if you hear of any

Not often offered cats at all. In Fact i think maybe once in our existence and it ended up in euros last auction. He punted it for ages at 34k it made 34k iirc minus fees.

Will keep a eye out

That ad looks legit? Got Sandhill Plants details, Ross’s name and phone number on it? How can it be a scam?

It does look legit, I only commented as Ross’s post this morning stated he has no cats,Seemed a bit odd.to be fair it being a Saturday evening I am well into a bottle of Rioja in a somewhat desperate bid to distract from the hideous tv My better half seems to enjoy and may well have misread that post!

Agreed, it does seem strange, but that ad definitely looks straight to me?

Thats a 432f....and abit out of my budget. Id asked about 432d and older so thats probably why he didnt mention it.

Tidy looking machine too to be fair!I think I spend too much time looking looking at the bloody things online trying to convince myself that my absolutely trouble free old 3cx needs changing for something newer and far more complicated.

You detectives.. Its a F so i never even mentioned it :D Plus its a Lynch machine so as per I wasn't really offered it. :) lovely tool mind you

You can really see some differences between them and the 3CX market, the Cat feels a bit more refined but im no operator just what I noticed.

Seriously I might have to chop old Betsy in later on next year for something shiny .maybe a different colour,bit of a wrench after 30 years of of a particular shade of yellow.

The cat backhoes are really marmite, I rate them for being a power house with good build quality and comfort thrown in. But the 3cx really is the best all round, lightweight, fast, nimble with the best visibility hands down! Paint falls of them both..!

I bought a new cat mini a couple of years ago and had a bit of a play in their demo backhoe,to be honest I found it abit clumsy compared to my old jake,i think it weighed in at nearly ten ton which may be why.
I quite like the look of the case 590 or new Holland 110 as an alternative.

Yep the 432e weighs 10.7t. I love it but ill admit a 3cx gets further when you get into the sloppy stuff. Id still not change it tho.

I reckon it would be a great machine on roadwork ,seemed really well put together and a nice cab too,but I do lot of moving about on building sites all year round therefore would be a bit of a beast in the wet.

Never found it a problem on sites and is quite nimble for squeezing in spots n turning round avoiding all the shite the groundworkers put in the way.

My mate just sold his 432F because it’s parked up due to not being able to get on anywhere in the wet, 10ton+ on skinny 18” front wheels isn’t ideal when off-road
