Here are some shots of Batten Plant Hires Cat 432E working in St Austell.

Owner Operator Paul will be joining us here at CMN and will hopefully tell us a bit more about his company.

As per usual click on the photo for larger image :thumbs_up:

Nick, Do you know how Luke Furse is getting on with that 220 you were on for a while? Ive heard a few whispers up here that firms arent buying them as theyve been having problems with the turbo's on them,

Yeh, I was talking to the fitter for the firm having problems and they said they've had 2 or 3 JS220's going down with the same problem in the turbo he did say what it was but it slips my mind now...he also said when they come to renewal time for the machine's they are getting either the new C series Volvo or Hitachi.
