    If not CAT who then? Are JCB Excavators good?

    Doosan My brother runs a few Daewoo/Doosan machines. His oldest, which is being retired back to the family farm, is a 1996 DH130-2 and has circa 24,000 hours on it. Been faultless (apart from hour meter! :D ) until recently. Paid for itself many times over. When he started looking at...

    Daewoo DH130-2 Hydraulics

    Gents. Our old Daewoo DH130-2 has developed an intermittent fault with its hydraulics. Believe that we have narrowed the fault down to something related to the safety handle. I assume that this a triggers a solenoid valve allowing pilot hydraulic flow to the control levers but am...

    lgp Excavator

    Thanks for pointing out the Hewden auction, not too long until the date. Will also pass on details of the Volvo and Zaxis 130 you mentioned. Might be a bit too pricey for him but if they're taking offers you never know. Know he liked the 7 ton Volvo he had. As for the Komatsu's, I've no...

    JD 6600 tractor - any experience with?

    Very popular tractor over in here in Europe. My brother had a few 6800's (before moving on to 6810's and now 6820's), used them for contracting and were pretty solid and reliable. Could maybe ask over on British Farming Forum as reckon be plenty 'experts' there! :D My father's 6910 is a...

    lgp Excavator

    Believe he viewed a couple machines advertised in resale weekly on his tour. Not tried euroauctions, but quite a while until the next leeds one. Just think it quite surprising that there is a lack of machines in his price bracket considering this economic slow down has supposedly brought the...

    lgp Excavator

    First off, before I forget, thanks for the detailed reply. Just called my brother earlier to find out a little more. He thought the machine was running pads in excess of 1000mm, perhaps nearing 1200mm but was unsure as it was a few weeks ago he viewed the machine and has seen plenty other...

    lgp Excavator

    My brother is looking for another 14 ton 360 at the moment and recently viewed a Daewoo 140 for sale on Skye that was running LGP tracks. Think the owner had one set that he took on and off as required. Will ask my brother for more information if you want as didn't go in to it in too much...

    Dozer Weights

    Cool. Thanks for the link. From looking at that am I safe to say he could venture up to D5 size or similar? Would age of machine make much difference to the weight? Regards Ross

    Dozer Weights

    Hi everyone. My brother has expressed interest in getting himself an old dozer but we're not certain which machine would suit best. We're in the UK so the choice is limited and due to tow weight legislation the machine cant be any heavier than 13,000kg (28660 lb). So, is anyone aware of...
