Hello from Malta - first timer with Kobelco

[vellad]

Hi,

Wanted to introduce myself. Been wanting to have an excavator for years and I have now just pulled the trigger on a 2018 Kobelco sk28sr-6. This is for my personal use only so yes it's a decision I made with my heart and not my head but am ok with that Actually I don't have the machine yet as it will be delivered to me in 2 days' time.

I have _NEVER_ even been into an excavator much less operated one so YouTube is my new friend

I already have a question re operation of a mini excavator but will post it on the compact forum.

Anyway - Hi All!

Photo of the actual machine below.

Welcome my Malta friend! Do you have dealer parts and service there for that Kobelco?

Thanks!

re Dealer - nothing official AFAIK but servicing/parts etc won't be an issue with Italy being so close and many great mechanics in Malta!

Sharp looking rig you've got there. A warm welcome from people's republic of Illinois.
