“I’m delighted with this machine”, said Trevor.  “When I trialled it, it was the smooth operation which really impressed me – it’s not jerky on the levers like some machines.  It’s also quiet and has excellent visibility from the spacious cab.  I’ve really noticed the difference with fuel too – I’m only using 6 litres an hour!”

Trevor is currently using the Kobelco to shift silt from the ditch around a customer’s field to improve drainage.  Given the soft ground, the larger tracks have given excellent stability, balancing the machine well.  Its power has also impressed: “It has excellent digging ability.  I was recently working where there were large rocks and they didn’t faze it at all.  It’s a very impressive machine.  I like it a lot – if I didn’t I wouldn’t have bought it!”
