Ive only heard about swing limiters ,,think its used on machines on street works jobs to prevent encroaching on traffic lanesThe one I was looking at was the dx140lcr which I presume is just reduced swing.
I was looking at this, but the distance put me off been 5h away makes viewing a pita! May put it back on the short list.My vote is a volvo 140. We had hitachi before and thers no comparrison between the 2 diggers the volvo would pull the hitachi in bits and is easier on the juice
Many hrs ? You won’t go wrong with a Volvo .I was looking at this, but the distance put me off been 5h away makes viewing a pita! May put it back on the short list. View attachment 891118
When I say reduce swing I mean it has the shorter counter weight.Ive only heard about swing limiters ,,think its used on machines on street works jobs to prevent encroaching on traffic lanes
Zero tail swing ,,PITA ,,the developers here not long bought a new 14tn Volvo ,,heavier track frame to compensate the shorter counterbalance ,,no cab space ,terribly unstable ,,they lifted a 6ft concrete ring and it lurched over ,,they hate itWhen I say reduce swing I mean it has the shorter counter weight.

Not spoke to them so would have to make sure it’s still available, I’d definitely go and look before money changed hands. Just hoping to find something closer to home, keep the travelling and transport costs down a little.Thats the digger ur lookin for.
