Hi there, paid about 65k nzd plus 15% tax. Tints are ok, great to block out the sun when it's beaming on your face all day! Would be hard to see out of at night and u do get alot of reflection from tints. They are great but not so great on a mini digger
@@henrymahoney7072 I've sold that one, but I do like yanmar. Hitachi are a good machine but haven't had too much to do with them, have owned two 2.7t and 1 3 tonner Hitachi, 2 yanmars a 3.3 and a 3.5 I probably like the usability better on the yanmar. I'm operating a 4000hr 3.5t cat atm which I absolutely hate. Both machines are good mate its up to your personal preference and sales team for parts etc really
I've only been in a 2011 vio55 and I thought it was great. Was very well balanced over the 4.5. Yanmar a a great we digger, nice and smooth, they are all on a par nowadays I believe apart from maybe Chinese gear which I wouldn't touch due to re sale.
Hey mate I went with 5% so 95% dark! Got it professionally done as the tint u buy from the car parts store is budget. I just tinted the whole front window myself before tho so looks real good now! If I can operate easily with the front done I will get it pro done later also. U can still see out pretty well and keeps the sun out nicely. Most people go 15 or 20% tho so not as dark. Cheers
@@louisianadirt2188 um yeah I'd think so. U do get glare from your clothes etc on the tints. No tints is best but in the heat they work well. Have a look at the different %s and make ur decision or see what they would recommend :)
Love heavy equipment . new SUB.
Are those factory travel pedals as well? Or did you alter them?
Hey, yes they are factory. The bottom piece flips up to give u more foot room too. Cheers
How much did it cost if you don’t mind me asking? How do you find the dark tints on cloudy days / working late in early evening? Cheers.

@@newzealandearthmover4008 how are you finding it? I’m considering a Hitachi or a Yanmar.

@@newzealandearthmover4008 ok so 20% would be enough to cut the glare? and be able to see out clear? I'm thinking just doing the sides and back
