Here's some, baby Volvo not mine just on hire

Do you still do mounding??

owned from 12 month old, needed a bush or 2, so have given her a good makeover, never fails to start, loads of power, just no 2 speed tracking, but sure beats a shovel,

lagoons

No drainage board and ditching works. Have a 4m weed basket to go on her. Also a 2m rotating dipper extension I might try off another machine, although she's 15.6m as she stands in the pic

My Dad has one, older and nowhere near as straight and tidy as yours, it also starts every time and gets through a hell of a lot of work, he keeps buying and or making attachments for it. Chucks it on a plant trailer sticks it on the back of his Shogun and off he goes, all work is agricultural of course. My Dad is 78

Had the PA8 out last week to scrape a pond out, no water what so ever until today when we had 40mm.

Previous owner looked after it very well, 2016 with 5900 hours when I got it. Counter weight was green so it has been sprayed case colours again, rest of it I’d original paint

That’s a great machine.I’d still choose Case over anything else if I had a dealer closer than 150 miles away.if your counterweight was green it was probably ex Land and Water machine.hope it goes well for you

Really impressed by it, didn’t think it would be as good if I’m honest. From some books I found inside I think it’s been owned by some firm called D Morgan

So I have joined the 360 digger world after parting company with my 3CX earlier in the year. It’s a dinosaur, tracks are goosed and you have to think a little ahead of you want a precise stop but it moves soil and good enough for what I have to do for now. I bought it when scrap was at its peak and was little more than scrap price. Just need to find a few buckets for it as only came with a 3’.

Well done. It's amazing what you can get done with one !

The only down side is it is amazingly slow to track around and so far any potential trailers I’ve seen would cost nearly double what I paid for the digger

If it has pedals give it a good clean around them, outs tracked straight after getting cleaned

It has 5 pedals, still not sure what one does But there is one for forward, one for back then a leaver to steer left or right.
