Chinese stuff , see they do tractors as well

 

[daveydiesel1]

Yes but the loaders are in this country which means thers no hassle with shippin or risk of payin and machine not turnin up

Oh yes never even noticed that wonder how many u could buy for the price of 1 cat shovel

 

[seedman stains]

but how much work would/could they do in comparison?

The tractor advert is great they emphasize a Weichai engine is in the bigger models ..

Loaders look very Chinese whereas the tractors look Soviet.

That’s Communism comrade.

Thats one of the better makes to. The weird sump thing would be soon off in small ruts !

I sat in to one lately for a quick look. It's pretty basic. this was a demo with a bit of work done but there was a bit of rust around the doors. Looks like an early 80s machine. But.... for the price of it versus 100k for anything else it could be tempting if you were only doing silage feeding or yard work.

I understand what your thinking but a Volvo L70 with 20000 hours will still live to see that Chinese stuff return on the slow boat.

Am not buyin anythin atm but kinda like the idea of a loadin shovel next time round as it would be so overbuilt for what i was doin it shouldnt giv trouble

couldn’t see the oil drain issue in the video clearly, but from the description it sounds like it needs a drain tube, just like used on volvo adt’s and the like.

Given that the reviewer had never seen anything similar previously, i suspect they have limited experience in running / maintaining large construction equipment, and the review should be considered taking this into account

Not to mention they bought a low powered model to avoid emissions regulations then said not enough power, also complained the tyres were not grippy enough, but surely they specced the tyres?
