  • Which new machine?

    Doosan dx140, case cx130d, or komatsu pc138-10
    thats the choice what's everyone's thoughts?

    Havent operated any of those but I'm guessing the Kommie will hold its value best ... but is probably the dearest ?

      Not as much as would have expected to be honest, case and kommie very similar and no huge drop to doosan although that is latest model, kom- 10 is soon to be changed to -11. Think have got bit carried away and made decision will not say what as will have to let the unsuccessful know first!

        Also have a family member looking for a 1.5 tonne machine any recommendations on which make would be good? and what sort of budget for a new one or good low hours used?

          Never did get a chance to get back to this! We ended up buying a komatsu pc138 and so far seems good actually prefer it to the 130-7 but time will tell not done much proper work yet just been at smaller jobs.

              Looks a nice machine .. how does it handle for balance ? does it 'nod' a bit ?

                Actually seems better than the pc130 so far, we did get the extra counterweight added to help. although hasn't done a lot yet as gave it a stay of execution before putting it on to forest sites next month. Not coping with the thought of lovely shiny machine getting scratched and bashed in the woods

                  Yes that's a hurty feeling especially if it gets some wood up its arse .... Mind ... There are some industries/businesses where that is the norm

                    I've run a CX210B Case and thought it was a very nice machine to operate and I've operated several Komatsu machines from PC220 and up and didn't like them. I think the Case would serve you best the Doosan's I don't know much I tried out a Daewoo 175 several years ago and it had a '90's vintage cab not that that's a big deal but the rest of it seemed alright.
