opinions performance characteristics




Sorry for the question, how does this excavator behave on uneven terrain, country accidents, uncultivated land, does it have good performance, is it agile vs loose, does it have good movements like a crawler or is it clumsy, do you need a tracked bulldozzer to make a path for it, an access track or does it have good performance even in campaign thanks. What lifting capacity does it have as a crane as a tipping diagram? They call them rubber ducks in a derogatory sense and I don't know why thanks again regards

In the US those are pretty much only used on road jobs.

There's a published lifting chart for most excavators. It's on the brochure, and if you have the machine there it would be on the window next to the operator on one side or the other.

thanks for the report, unfortunately these machines are not used where I come from, we prefer more stable crawler tracks with balanced machine setup and then with the tracks they climb everywhere
the backhoe loaders have been replaced by mini machines, mini excavators, mini skid loaders, wheeled, only scrap handlers or log loaders are used thanks for the information, ps on rough country terrain it moves easily or is clumsy and clumsy if the ground is soft risk skating and sinking, getting bogged down and sinking? I have no experience with wheeled excavators in the countryside, thanks

Nobody does, because that is not how they are used. In the US, they have one primary job, cleaning ditches along roadways and doing work while operating on pavement.
This is what they do well. No need for a lowboy to take it to the ob, no pavement damage from steel tracks.

they work for cleaning the embankments of the slopes at the edges of the roads with the articulated arm with the swing, the mulcher cuts brambles and the ditch cleaning bucket for small-scale works ok thanks.
