Volvo EC140B Grading problems

Post #1 by Nick Drew » Sat Oct 06, 2007 10:30 pm

Hi All,

I have posted this topic on our Swedish sister site Maskinisten.net as well.

I am getting reports from other users in the UK that there are some problems with fine grading on the EC140B machines?

Apparently when you are trying to grade bringing in the dipper and the boom, the dipper gets to a point and then just dives downwards into the material you are trying to level!! :shock:

This is a worrying thing to hear from my point of view as I have recently ordered an EC135B which is a derivative of the 140 specially made for the UK market.

Over the years I have built up a reputation for the quality of my grading and I would hate to have this shattered by a machine that you cant grade with!!

Has anyone else heard about this problem or is it just down to poor operating from other drivers :dizzy:

Nick :mrgreen:
