unfortunatly..

Apparently they were more than half the price of a new sichelschmidt of the same type which we had..

which sort of is surprising since they seem more finnicky to build and such.. although it's cheap quality. of the 4 we have. 2 had to have their masts remounted, all of them are throwing Electronic errors once the temp starts going below 0c outside. 3 of them have lost the pushmast accelleration, working only partially and when the machine feels for it, often towards the end of travel resulting in a lot of slamming. (Toyota MH has no clue how to fix it) Too low torque, changing directions 90' often involves some weird jerking. Electronic hydraulic controls *** (In general). And the oldest have started slipping on the control wheel, almost as it's not properly attached, once you stop turning (it turns on its own while you travel)

Hours: 350ish x2 550 and 800

I do think the savings on this buy has or very soon will, be lost to servicing and lost productiontime (slow masts, and slow travel)


Having a rudimentary weighing function is kind of nice though.
