Now dont all flock to put a bid on her
The Digger Picture Thread

To be fair - she has saved me a lot of money from hiring one in. Once I get my workshop built - I will be stripping it down and refrubing her, as due to age etc, there is a lot to repair, hoses to change - slew motor to sort out, valves to sort to smooth out bucket controls etc.
The tracks are worn, cylinders weeping etc - but she can dig some dirt.
So just like being married - she will cost a lot
Old - your having a laugh aint you Roscoe, youve seen my old girl - yours are new by comparrison
70's is about as near as I can get
A good match for my Yumbo then - as that is all I can gther as well. Not a lot of concrete info left these days... what I can glean was the 620 was pre 77, as the models changed in 77-78 to the 630, 640 and 650..

I’m loving it so far, had a Terex 960 previously that was problematic due to the electrics

Had this round the back of the house for a couple of years.
Lucky you. Quite a find. Very rare at this side of the pond.
Took this while getting a couple of loads of peat for animal bedding .
A Hitachi EX 100 , and a very tidy Hyman 580 C. Both have had there undercarriage stretched , and much wider pads fitted . I don't think the Hymac is in regular use any more, but it is capable of running.

you wont go far wrong with a nh digger, run them for years
only ever had 1 bad machine it was a 57 reg and they swapped it us for an 08 as they had it more than us, they even paid for it stickering.
command control (electric controls) is nice but you don't just feel to have as much power as the manual controls, but easy to put it on 360 controls (I find them easier)

Interesting that the Hymac looks to have had two sets of track shoes welded to the originals, never seen it done like that before.

Leave handbrake off tractor and use digger arms to push to along.
Not along a ditch you cant surely, your backed square to it.
