He’s made a real pigs ear of it all hasn’t he(no offence to him at all!!)…but he’s certainly learned the hard way. In that time I’ve had one machine & 1 tilty.. never had to fix either… with no need to consider swapping anytime soon!

I have done 2 machines and 2 set ups. But have kept them both!!
Would also agree with comment regarding not putting one on a zero tail. My kobelco 8ton is conventionally mounted boom rather than king post.
My issue is transport for the kobelco. Had a very good run with that machine this year but will now be heading out on the little Kubota for a couple of months.
My issue is attachments. I love driving the Kubota more than the kobelco, but when I jump on the kobelco you realize how much more work you can get through……if you have the space!!

It’s just human nature to always want more/bigger/better.. I do feel like @Furniss that 6ton is the sweet spot, I just hire in smaller & bigger stuff and it works well for me. The next run of jobs I’ve got all entail the machine being left on site for at least 3+ month blocks so I’m not getting it moved around much.
Oneday I may chop it all in for a 2.7ton towable setup again.
