Waiting around for deliveries today, at least I have 5 coming all on the same day, but given we are in 2024 now why can’t all couriers give a better delivery window than 8am to 6pm FFS!!

****ing DHL .... 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I gave up using them decades ago - so unreliable I was getting contra-charges for next day, before 10:00-ers, turning up 3 days late, from the timber frame guys I used to do lots for. -- then had to fight them for the on-cost contras. 🤬 🤬 wank*rs

I can get an 18 tonner in here and turn it round .. have had 8 leggers in and turned 'em

have spoken to sellers, who are so apologetic and chasing for me -- admitting to having constant problems with them and paying next day prices in the hope of the promised 48hr actually happening ... I would be billing the b'stards massively and finding a.n.other carrier. :mad::mad::mad:

and if that wasn't enough ... another supplier msgd this morning - Parcelfarce have lost a consignment - did I want to cancel order or wait for FOC replacement in 3 days time ... have dealt with these ppl a lot and quite believe them - have had similar before with others using those tw*ts

WTF is wrong with this country - get stuff from the other side of the world in 3 days o_Oo_O:mad:

Few days work on this ahead of me, not tried any of the Chinese stuff yet. Be interested to see how it handles.

I had one on CW's sanys last year. Really nice machine, the only problem I found was that when grading if you brought the dipper forward then pushed it straight back it would judder. If you paused for a second before pushing it away it was fine. Took a while to adjust and slow down as used to Hitachi's. And it may well have been a problem unique to that particular machine.

Few early niggles, cabs bit tight for a 6ft 4 lad, not easy to use the track pedals. Forwards ok reverse not good. The fuel gauge is a bit wank on not very much of a incline the needle keeps jumping up and down when i slew. Not a issue but just irritating when you see it in corner of your eye. No blade float which is a shame as spreading large area of topsoil. Oh and the radio’s wank but that’s hardly critical.
On the plus it is pretty speedy and smooth but haven’t started any fine grading yet.
