thoughts on this machine . Thinking if a secondhand one to do the main loader work on farm. Have only ever had a tractor /loader which will still be keeping

Kramer stuff is built by........Kramer.

I'm not keen on the 50 series machines. Second hand they seem to be of a similar price to the 80 series machines but of a much lesser spec.

I would go for a 680t or 580t depending on budget.

how does the 4 wheel steer compare to an articulated machine

 

[jackstor]

Excellent machine, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one! Great visibility, very manoeuvrable, compact, ideal for a livestock farm.
Kramer build them themselves, and the Kramer UK staff are very helpful and knowledgable.
We're on our third one now, having had a 480t, 680t and now on a 8095t.
The 750t is slightly smaller, lower spec, (30kph, one door cab etc) but is still very capable.

Superb bits of kit.
Very nippy and manouverable, fast cycle times.

I'd get an 80 series for higher spec but the 50 series has a bit less to go wrong.

 

[aidan]

are any of them available with 24" tyres ?

 

[jackstor]

The 80 series are available on 24", but the tyres are a low profile type, think I've seen similar on a Merlo,so aren't much bigger than the 20" tyres.

i've had a 750t for just over 12 mths now and its a brilliant little machine, does everything i want and is really handy and manouverable round the yard and in sheds.Mines a 2009 one with 4000hrs on and has been very reliable.

What kind of reach does it have ? Is it stable as our dreading is not all level

As Mickey says, Kramer belongs to the Wacker Neuson Group. hence a number of their models are painted and badged as Weiderman, Kramer or Wacker Neuson, depending upon which industry they are being sold into, albeit with different spec levels. Neuson and Kramer were independant up till a few years ago, but Wacker did not strike me as a big player this last 20 yrs, but in times of recession all manufactures look for cost efficiencies in manufacturing.

think it's 5m with boom out, and is perfectly fine on uneven ground.

Thinking of buying 2012 680t with 3000hrs.
Any issues to look out for. Have been using jcb 520-50 for 10yrs now 8000hrs very reliable but hard to get in and out of.

Shouldn't be much wrong with that.
Check handbrake works.
Check for usual oil leaks underneath and play in the front kingpins.
Check the brakes are there, you hardly ever use them but the seals can go.

We swapped our 680T with over 4000hrs on it. It was very reliable, no major issues at all. Apart from the usual things, check the boom suspension is working,
