Hi All,
Yesterday I flew up to
Tamworth to pick up my stepdads new 70 series. He was obviously flew up too to pick up his new car. It had 43kms on the clock, to my surprise he let me put the first 150k's on it on the way back to
Sydney.
All I can say is it is an impressive beast, rides
well and plenty of grunt.
Can't wait till I really get my hands on it in the bush....... Would love to take it this weekend to Mt Airlie and he offered for me to take it but I really couldn't do it to him before it's first 1000 k service.

Hi Borgy,
After driving that one I have now got a plan to get the finances together and hope to order one in the next few weeks.
Wasn't able to beforehand due to making a choice between another excavator or a 70 series. The excavator won and am now getting my feet back on the ground.
If I order it now will have it by April/May. :)
