Alright Steven, apologies for the ancient replay here.. I’ve done about 3600hrs on this machine, there been a couple of little niggles with the water pipes catching and the adblue system. I’ve spoke to other operators of hydradig and they’ve never come across this issue though. It’s been a fantastic machine though for their first attempt, the new model has loads of other issues with front window wiper motor and access all rectified 👌 Too right I’d have another one mate 😎
@@lifebehindthelevers Haha thats no problem. I owned a new style hydradig up until 2 months ago, I got a silly offer to go drive someones else's machine so it was a no brainer, £6ph less than what I was getting owning and running a machine, I'm still self employed but now driving a takeuchi 295w duck, if the hydradig had as smooth hydraulics as takeuchi it be hard to beat. I had demo of a 2017 hydradig, hated it at first then after my 3rd day on it I loved it and thats why I bought one but with new one I never felt in tune with electronic servos but did with 2017 model, jcb tried fine tuning them but it never felt as good as older one. Was very disappointed with it but as I say if hydradig was as smooth as takeuchi I'd have hydradig hot a lot more better features on it. I saw you on telly a wee while back on morning news about your sons accident, that mustve been truly horrendous, im so glad hes ok now. 👍 Are you making anymore vids soon? Cheers, Steve

Hi, how many hours on your hydradig now? Has it been much bother since new? Would you like another after this one?
Cheers, steve
