Years ago when i was an apprentice,i heard this commotion on site wondering wot was goin on.It turns out that someone had tried to start the dumper truck with a tie-wire between the starter motor,machine started but left in reverse,the guy had to squeeze between a parked lorry to get at the dumpers engine,he ended being crushed aaround the waist and legs.

Mine is 6 year old june this year,the only problem iv had is to reseal a ram, never spent a penny on it in repairs apart from servicing ,its done 1100hours still very tight ,little play in any bushes a superb built machine,i put new battery on 2 years ago and 1 track due to a man ripping it off........fool,full servo controls starts with little heat in winter, 2 cylinder engine very quiet 1.5 gallon fuel tank lasts all day no probs
Was gonna buy a bobcat micro at last SED but thought no this is paid for and gets the same rate as a new machine,does the same job,
You wont go far wrong with one ,740mm wide with track out goes to 940mm.There you have it MSH
