What a fine example of an EX120, I notice it is sporting an Irish manufactured Dromone Quick hitch too.

I used to own one of those myself it was a lovely machine to operate, here are some pics

Here are some shots of a Hitachi US225 that belongs to Cornwall based Bond who specialise in recycling timber.

A very nice looking machine :thumbs_up:

Here is a shot of an old Hitachi UHO63 that was working on a site where I was on hire with a Komatsu PC130-5.

This old machine was in great working order being very well looked after by its owner operator, a few years after this shot was taken the machine was sold to a customer in Ireland and was replaced with a newer Samsung SE130-2
