These looked fun , Idrodumper Longhini , not a new Italian striker the Italians seemed to have dozens of small plant makers knocking out wierd machines . Utranazz sold at least one in UK as it has survived and is on the Oilyhands website.

Currently being stripped down for renovation.

Welcome to site ,Wonder if yours was the only one they sold ? Wonder how it's price of £12,100 compared to a jcb 3c in 1980. Nice to see some pics.

Thanks for the welcome!
I shall try and get some photos of the beast uploaded in a week or 2.
Originall planned to get it running and use as is, I then decided to give it a minor stripdown and replace various pins and hoses etc. As these started coming off I found some other issues with the hydraulics (new pump was required).
It's now looking like a longterm project at the moment (have to re-roof my workshop & office first), but getting a few hours on it each week. After being sat in field for many years it makes removing every pin & bolt a major mission for each one - thank god for sledgehammers!

Hi, I remember seeing this machine on ebay a few years ago, I have been trying to describe it to friend but I would love to see some pictures if possible, I have trawled the internet but to no avail.

Please ignore my post, I now seem to be able to see the pictures after registering.

Unless it is used for a small job I can't see how it would be economical to tie-up two machines at the same task instead of working independently.

Really funky and useful for small jobs though. Suspect there is a good reason why they weren't in demand.
