4meters to the back of the bucket, giving a little play as well

Thanks for that ... so 4m will do and 4.2 ideal

looks pretty tall though - 'specially on a hook lift

They all look tall up on a hooklift .... even the 3t on the 7.5t

This trailer is almost exactly 4.2m internally and the TB260 sits in it easily

last time I spoke with Tom earlier this year he was still an 'agent' ... but basically as said - very expensive - comparatively, but a very nice tool ... for an O/O they're a long term investment, but will stay the course and you have a seriously well made tool

Robusta track are dealers had a price from them for the 65tr with all the extras looking at 65k

how does that compare with the competition like 'Tachi Stu ??

I think Robustrack in Carnforth are the importers for them now.

pretty sure Tom said he was still involved, but struggling to sell them due to their pricing

45k for our new 55 Hitachi with tilty ready just hook it on and go but the eurocomach is the next size up machine but specs on dimensions is exactly the same to my 55 so would go and do what I do now just heavier and 2 piece boom and 6 way blade

My 290 with 2 piece boom was less (albeit only slightly)

Tb260 and KX60 were around £45k when I was pricing them up earlier this year.

Want to avoid finance and fund it with moving some kit on so will be looking to spend abour 35 - 40 before tilty - so low houred Kubota/jcb/tak should be in budget

65k no way .... they all dig holes

Back 20 years I used to do it all with a 6t JCB that cost me 10k

Kx60 at 45k seems cheap

 

[GazCro]

Kx60 at 45k seems cheap

I wouldn't say cheap but deffo a keen price and I'd be surprised if they are not more now. There's always been a fair big gap between 6 and 8 tonners i know a lad near me running two 8 tonners nearly changed one for a 6 tonner because of it.

I really like the look of the newer Wacker Neuson but think I have more chance of bagging fog than finding a used ET58 are there any about ?

A few people have said this recently. Is great to see there in people’s head but stills but to go in my eyes. If ever you wanted to liquidate you want to be able to have choices.

Do you struggle to move them on Ross ?
