    Case, Cat, and Yanmar 5 tonn shopping

    Thanks for the input squizzy. I tried a VIO45 while I was in England but the service at that place (used lot) wasn't that great, and the machine was pretty beat on as it was a rental (even though it only had 2300 hours, they were heavy hours!), so I didn't go for it. I like the extra cab room...

    Case, Cat, and Yanmar 5 tonn shopping

    hey Bobcat Ron! Cool to hear of people from Abby! I build quite of few houses there in the early 90's. I agree with you re the CAT but it worked our for a super cheap good condition 2004 CX50 which I couldn't say no to. Interestingly enough, I have seen the Kobelco's in US & Canada and they...

    Thanks for the pon cat mention. I am familiar with them, but I can only find new model brochures, and I know there have been substantial changes made from the Case CX50 - CX50B, as well as the Cat 305 CR - 305C CR (or on pon-cat they only have the 304C CR??).

    most effective mini?

    steer clear of Case? Hi Nick Drew, You said earlier in your posts to steer clear of Case among others. Was that due to service in your area, or poor machine performance or??? I am looking at a CX50 and wondering if you have input. Actually this is my third post so hopefully I can start a thread...

    takeuchi's new detachable boom

    I played with a new Takeuchi!!

    what about Yanmar? I have just spent a few days playing with Kobelco, Case, and Yanmar 5 tonners. The Kobelco is a nice machine but very small cab. The Yanmar's cab is massive! Case is somewhere inbetween... actually right now I am just trying to get in my three posts so I can post my own q...
