Yanmar SV26 vs Kubota KX027-4 vs Bobcat E27

Yeah Wacker ez26 is tippy but gutsy. Very well built machine though. That Kubota having to activate hydraulics every time you get in sounds like a right pain in the arse- I couldn't own that

Yeah it really is. Worse yet is when you turn on the ignition and press the aux button to depressurise the system. Only to realise after disconnecting the hoses that the aux didn't engage and you can't get the hoses back on. It often engages one set of aux lines but not the other etc

I think the develon is the cheapest mainstream machine with AC few months back it was just under 30k.
I can just squeeze my Milwaukee fan between the seat and rear window on my 8026 it's not great but at least it blows some air around the cab.
Neither of the sany 2.6t have ac, it's an option on the JCB 26c but knocks it north of 30k if specified

Have you had a go in the Develon? It's pretty cheap compared to all the others for the spec.

Fwiw i had a dx35 for a bit, and although i didn't find the cab that comfortable it was one of the best mini's ive ever driven, smooth as silk

Sounds like my JCB 86c!

At least jcb can have a bit of paper wedged down the side of the switch to hold it down. Don't know if you can do the same with the yanmar
