We currently run a jcb 8052 but are thinking of replacing it in another few months tho not with another jcb (not happy with the crappy build quality etc). So I thought I would ask you guys what your opinions were.

Re: 5-6 tonners
Hello Neil
Hitachi are very good. A couple of them are being used on the culvert job by our house.I have also been told by a few people that run them that they can't fault them.Reliable with bags of power
Cheers
