[QUOTE="Thomas5060, post: 7915989, member: 13084"] 8ton Kubota are a real let down compared to the smaller ones. Have never drive a TB175 but the newer 290s aren’t a nice machine, really don’t rate them. [USER=48272]@Benr[/USER] for your budget I would try and get an EX60-5 or ZX70. They are a scaled down 12t, where as your TB175 etc are just a 5t made bigger. Although the swing boom is a handy job for cleaning sheughs etc but for digging power and stability the mono boom is a far better job. here’s an example, 6341 hours. We bought ours in April 2016 with 5200 hours for £15,500, approaching 10k hours now and would easily get what we paid. Resale is very strong with older hitachi. No major repairs either, few burst pipes an exhaust and a starter is all it’s needed apart from servicing [ATTACH type="full"]1007281[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
