Your thoughts now on Tiltrotators.

The JCB doesn't have twin proportional controls so would have to get some work done to it first, would still work out alot cheaper than full fat though.

Having seen a few posts and faceb, how the eff have a couple of people/companies spent just shy of 100k on a sub 3t machines

They must be including vat in those prices but still is insane to think there's triple the cost of the machine spent on tilty, the machine guidance and slew and height restrictions

Yep I know 8026 setup is a bit behind ...maybe new models have it as option.

I've seen all that daftness of 100k 2.5t ...heres me thinking my 6t setup needs to graft this year and it stands me at about half that.
perhaps he's otherwise wealthy and likes the toys

Everything is stupid though. Power tools are stupid pickups and cars have all doubled.
Looking at a new car for my wife. Want something big but sensible, Skoda, Kia etc and everything has doubled since we last looked.
Even our weekly shop has nearly doubled.

Renewed LL insurance yesterday up 100 odd managed to get 30 knocked off. She said they've gone up because of amount of claims, material prices and Brexit

As far as I’m concerned he’s full of shite. I challenged him on fb- my new 2.7t digger was £31k. Tilty and buckets £15k, iDig 6k. That’s £52k- barely half the ‘100k digger’.

Thanks guys, I'm still none the wiser...mind it's not like I'm worried working in our area...you definitely can't get any lower

He just appeared one day as a influencer

He is, imho.

 

[Thomas7740]

can’t stand him, hopefully he did pay £100k for 2.5t

 

[DaveDCB]

At 100k he’s including a pickup & trailer.. or he’s just been had over and is proud of it

Can't believe all the cruelty and hate, I think you just don't like his kubotas.

 

[DaveDCB]

Who are you all even on about anyway? I stay away from Facebook groups.. maybe for good reason!

 

[Grahams]

I think a lot of people are looking at this the wrong way. Surely it is not about what you pay for your equipment, it is about what profit that equipment makes for you? If you need all the bells are whistles to get the job done or the client insists on them, as long as you earn the return you are happy with that is what counts for me. On the other hand if you buy higher spec than you need and don’t get the return on it you are doing something wrong and will probably go bust.

Oh you and your influencer mates ...
