What to buy?

[Weaknee]

Tb210 is more powerful and has a bucket tipping height around 300mm higher than the E10 but has a slightly shallower dig depth and is not zero tail swing
E10/dxx10 paint is crap but on paper is around 40mm narrower and is zero tail swing, blade extensions are very poorly designed

If you don't need to get through any 730-760mm gaps get the takeuchi

Tbh if i need to get through a gate id remove it and price it in on a job to repair not been many jobs ive had where less than 750 and worst case i have to hire a smaller one but for probably 95% of my work i have the access

After driving both I'd go bobcat regardless of width.

What did you prefer about the e10 over the 210 not considering width?

More comfortable to sit on, been biggest thing. Bobcat has more umph I found too.

The old tb108 is more powerful than the E10 and the tb210r is a lot more powerful.
Bucket force 8.3 Vs 11.2
Arm force 5.5 Vs 6.4
At times I regret not sticking with takeuchi, although has been 3 maybe 4 times in the last 5 years where the tb210 would have been too wide
My old tb108 would move a full bulk bag of gravel (not lift off the ground but between blade and lifting as much as it could it was possibly but not pretty) the dx10 barely manages 2/3

Theres about £250 difference tak has less hours but could argue worse condition bobcat has clearly been resprayed in my opinion both from dealers with ter cert

Yea but what exact money?

The market is down at the moment. Some much better deals to be had privately.

I wouldn’t want to pay more than 6/7k for either of those machines at those hours.

Isn't the doosan same as the E10 bobcat so might be slightly cheeper ?

Essentially the same but slight spec difference, might have changed since 2019 but the dx10 had the demo kit as standard and the E10 has a button for track/blade switchover

It's well known I prefer my 8010 over any of these but from a operating point of view the e10 is best. What figures say on paper is totally different to actually using it.

From the brief playing around the 210 seems way quicker than an e10 but will wait till monday when it goes on site to have a proper shift on it

Needs a service and some bushings as theres more play than id like

Big difference in hours. I think you made the best decision

Hope that’s not a 3.5tonner!
