The et90 is 75hp - would be my choice.
You never hear anyone say anything bad about them.
Specs say 86c1 is 65hp - 48kw ?

I thought the early ones were crap, but was of the understanding that the ‘Mk2’ is a good machine? But I don’t have first hand experience of either.Nope- pure dogshit unfortunately. The digging power and grading is fine but tracking it robs all the power/flow and nothing to show for it. Couldn't believe how bad it was and would not want to be stuck at the bottom of a steep slippery slope with one![]()
Yeah this was the original 290 not the -2. I imagine they must have had to do something about it if they wanted to keep selling them.I thought the early ones were crap, but was of the understanding that the ‘Mk2’ is a good machine? But I don’t have first hand experience of either.
You Sure, my 6ton is 45hp… ?Really? I thought they were supposed to be good?
CAT would be where it’s at for me for a new digger, money no object, based on specs. 75hp for the 8 tonner. This Jake is 45, hardly any more than my 1.2t tractor!
Your right- I must have read the specs wrong!Specs say 86c1 is 65hp - 48kw ?
That’s a shame. The 302.7 was like that too. Five minutes on it and I knew it was no good for me.Nope- pure dogshit unfortunately.

You can’t trust sites like that. One of them tries to claim it was 25hp! All they are after is clicks and ad revenue.You might be right about hp @doobin depends how early it is.
Is it not a matter of hydraulic efficiency / flow etc as opposed to outright hp though ? I'm prob wrong but never considered outright hp as the important factor...but maybe if your asking it to lift and slew and crawl up a hill it is

My ET65 book says 49hp but never seems short of grunt - I run it at about 1600rpm 95% of the time - but its much lighter work than yours as a rule, looks like model year 20 and on gets 61hp so maybe they thought it needed more.
Interestingly though Max Torque on 49hp model says 190nm @ 1700rpm and 61hp model 192nm @ 1800rpm.

I found an online brochure/spec sheet.
what the hell have you got on your feet Doob??????Serviced the Multione today. 1000 hours, that’s only around 270 hours a year which I was surprised at.
Then cut a bit of timber for a FB order. Little e27 feels like a toy after a week on the 86c- it picked up and lifted an impressive lump of oak though. View attachment 68678View attachment 68679View attachment 68680View attachment 68681
Steel toed barefoot boots. Birkenstock something or other.
and that close to a boundary?Stump removed and levelled ground ready for foundations of garden room. This is situations when planers make no sense to me. Wouldnt let us have a 2 story extension on house, but a 112m2 pitched roof garden room no problem! Saw some kit parked up in woods near me aswell, they’ve been in there for weeks felling a fair bit and not particularly tidy about it either but i guess there’s only so much you can do.
It will be 2m from boundary and 2.5 eaves 4m ridge. Apparently the rules for doing it und PD are it has to be within 20m of your house and not take up more than 50% of garden. Madness! We are AONB and SSI aswell! Obviously taking advantage of large garden. Yeh very easy dig here sandy/ballasty under the topsoil.and that close to a boundary?
Insanity ... would not get it past our PA ... IIRC 30m2 under PD - 2.5m eaves - 4m ridge or have you had to go full planning to get that size - damned near another house
lovely looking soil![]()
