Brilliant photos Jim. :claphands:
I'd be interested to hear what you think of the new ECO generation and your experiences putting the machine to work.
Though not an operator myself I've read mixed comments regarding the 3CX ECO on other forums especially in regard to fuel useage and backhoe performance (especially grading).

two weeks in and everything seems good , fuel econemy seems to be shapeing up quite well , i've have been doing alot of running around between jobs doing a bit here and there and it seems to be responding well , feels a bit quiker than the last contractor i had before this one . This one has servo assist brakes which seem an improvement and the tea maker is a nice addition
