Wanted: 6-8 ton digger

[Storrsy]

Nice straight looking machine. Wouldn't have thought you'd go far wrong with that. May we ask the cost?
The only negative I can find about the case cx 75/80 is the blade imo is a little underbuilt for the machine. But a minor thing really.

Steels are a must I think if you do mainly rural work. I'm on a rubber tracked 6 tonner at the moment and when the peat gets wet they are utter shite- have to pull yourself around with the bucket half the time. How much time does one really spend on decent tarmac anyway

True but you can pat a bit of grass back down with the bucket, not so easy with tarmac.

Works out at about £33k, doesn’t seem like too bad of value?

Just track it back in

What are the bolt spacings and sizes on that CX80? Have a feeling they are the same as Takeuchi. I've a set of steel pads I'd gladly swap for the Roadliners?

Doesn't sound bad at all for that age.. in the current climate

I’m not sure in all honesty. If I buy I will measure up, would be a good swap. What size are the steel pads? 600mm?

I think they are 600's. I will have a measure tommorow.

Was actually surprised at how little wear was in it. Wasn’t too sure about buying a king post model due too issues with wear, but definitely not a concern here.
Double that actually, the 60-5 done 5000 hours in 5 years with us, likewise the ex30 done 12k hours in 12 years. Not too worried about hours tbh, condition is king.

Yea, priced up new sprockets aswell. Rollers look fresh enough, they’ve maybe been changed.

Ah you must have several drivers

Ah you must have several drivers

Just the 2 of us would rather put in the hours and work extra than employ someone

 

[Furniss]

That makes sense ....one more than me
