    D5K Opinion

    How is this for bad excavator luck

    That is very common in our are in the fall when the farmers are harvesting and park the combines for the night. The warm motor must sound real appealing for the coons. Then before you know it they are taking a spin the next morning !! I usually hear of 3 or 4 a year.

    PC228 Komatsu ?

    Jump on it! We demo with ours and wouldn't trade it for the world. We actually traded a 200-7 komatsu on it and haven't looked back since. The zero tail swing is very stable and comes in very handy. My only complaint is the seat but im just picky sometimes.

    adding more weight

    I will try and post a pic of our Volvo 160 that we added a bit of extra weight to. We had the local welder fabricate two brackets that bolt on just on the inside of the counterweight. They drop down about 7 or 8 inches then point out to the end of the counter. The extra slab is probably 4x1...

    Volvo Excavators

    Have had a EC160C for around 4 years (bought new). I actually chose it over brand new Komatsu, Hitachi, and Doosan for one reason. The 6 cylinder motor. It is the same motor that they put in the 210 machines just not as pumped up. And for the record i demoed all four machines first. I personally...
