There is another contender from Italy that fits into the lightweight 3000 litre category at under 6000kg but it’s not mechanical drive. Caffini have the Rider model which can have up to a 28m boom fitted and has Bosch Rexroth hydrostatic drive, I’ve seen the videos of what ground conditions they tested it in, if it can get through them it’ll travel anywhere!

Did you read the thread title?

Could suggest any number of hydrostatic drive machines.

What do you class as lightweight. Multi drive probably weighs 8t empty from memory. Won’t beat it for climbing hills or for travelling between jobs 84E9FB44-4A23-4022-8EDF-5B7BF2165508.jpeg2F286681-7296-40EE-BA0B-0F29E2565232.jpeg

Yes I did thank you but I posted it just for comparison as I know a lot of people consider hydrostatics to be heavy, that machine is not and is in fact lighter than several of the mechanical drive options if it was the weight side of things that’s the concern.

Classified section for adverts.

As far as I'm aware some people don't want hydrostatic because of cost of replacement wheel motors.

That looks good value?
