13 tonne excavator. What to buy?

[Bignor Farmer]

Is that the same place in the photo's? If yes: wow!

This is roughly the same spot, coming back with the grab to pull out the willow.

Same field, not exactly the same spot but it was all badly overgrown to start with.
I’ll see if I can find any other photos

A before and after photo of a hedge we did with a forestry mulcher. I cut the hedge from the roadside with a tractor and hedge cutter. It is possible to do a hedge with the mulcher but not quite as easy. Our Hitachi 81/2 tonne can track and mulch at the same time however it would be easier to do the top a section at a time.

Considering Caterpillar's position as the world's largest construction machinery supplier, I would recommend purchasing a CAT excavator. Their global reputation and extensive experience make them a reliable choice. At the same time, Volvo is the good choice too.

Largest …. That would put me off right away , if everyone thought like you they would be only as well as largest , nice to give others a crack o the whip.

I tried to demo a 3cx contractor before I had the cat.This went on for well over a year.i was continually ignored by local dealer so I wrote to a mr Antony Bamford To give him my thoughts.things altered after that and I had MD of watling jcb out to see me and got offered to be picked up by helicopter for factory visit.was too late by then.
