[grant]

Hi guys just been looking through this months earthmovers and there's a pic of a new tracked 1cx with grader looks like a good machine can't imagine there would b much room inside the cab though especially for a tall lad like me

Hi Grant, i found an article about the machine being at some show called the Conexpo, i would tend to agree it does look a little small inside, wonder if theres a reason for that?

Hi Lindsay yes I think conexpo is a contruction show in the usa wouldn't mind a shot of a 1cx I suppose it probably meant for landscaping work think it's just a prototype machine the tracked version

Hi Grant, yes i think theres a good chance thats just a prototype of whats to come, and i think they are mainly for landscaping use but ive seen alot of ex telecom 1CX's for sale over here so they must have been good at one stage. i would also like to give it a bash one day
