Are you pleased with it? What sort of job does it make? what depth are you working it?
Sorry for all the questions!!
Yes I am pleased with it, generally run it 7" deep. Makes a good job and obviously low disturbance.
Only criticism would be the points wearing too quick or the bit of tungsten chipping of too easily. Spoke to Weaving about it and hopefully sort something.
New toy recently to replace our old 526 which they still have to pick up as the new one started to over heat due to a faulty selonoid on the hydraulic cooling fan.
Great machine with more reach and lift height than the old one and only lifting 100kg less but what seems like almost half the size! In fact it probably has a bit more reach than our 536-60 as the wheels are smaller!

To be honest myself and the chap that helps would have a 536-60 as we really like the one we have. That is used mainly for loading lorries at the other farm amongst a host of other jobs and will load muck spreaders in the field.
Dad will be driving this as much as anyone loading the feeder wagon and bedding cattle yards and wanted a more compact machine easy to get in and out of. We demoed this along with a similar sized Kramer.
The 532-60 is ok but would be the same size as a 536-60 and now has the knuckle on the front tilt ram which makes it more bulky than the old 526 in some cattle sheds.
Very impressed with the little 525, it has some pushing power and lift for its size. I would say it has an extra 0.75 metre of forward reach compared to the old 526

looks really nice, ive got a 526 same as your old machine and i REALLY like it not sure what will replace it, o the odd occasion i need more lift capacity but i like the fact its light and compact
Our 526 we had new in 2002 and it has done 13500hrs, its done less hours in recent years when we bought the new to us 536.
Its been a great machine to run, very reliable and I hope the new one is half as reliable!
When you think the big old JCB 525 58 was it back in the 90s and same capacity machine now 525 60 half the size!

Not many people use proper round bag lifters, including Immingham Dock, despite what it says on the label.

Safety first is my thoughts and have had a couple off bags break as they were damaged already when they got here
and I struggled to fill seed drills or fertiliser
spreaders but. Is main job is seed as we are going to go liquid hopefully
Though moved some fert and have to say is so much better I would recommend one to anyone
Ps it should not bend as it is 100x100 x 10 box and 8mm wall pipe

I don’t know I haven’t asked but the tax on a van is £265 and a car is £35
