Sorry for itself!!!!! I think it looks more battle hardened myself, its a working machine and is very busy....it lifts, and well so lets not go into the looks. It will get refurbed eventually but at the moment it works well.

Ive seen various parts of it on a fairly regular basis on my travels over the last 5 years! Took a few photo's of it when it was working down the road from me but i lost/deleted them as time went on!

Saturday morning, Saturday night from 10pm until 2am - back at 6am until midday Sunday when they de-rigged.

Thanks for your comments. The footage is very grainy as it has to be converted to upload into Windows Movie Maker. I'm looking at alternatives to improve this.

Question on the EC700 Demo unit. On the dipper attached to the bucket cylinder is what appears to be a guide of some sort. Any info?????

I've seen somthing of the sort on a front end loader to see from the cab the angle of the bucket. That would serv no purpose in this case....

The giude as you call it is actually a ram protection system! Its incase anything falls onto the ram and prevents damage to the cylinder itself!

JoeS1989... I thought of that but isn't there usually a metal shroud that encompasses the cylinder, even with that bar there its still quite exposed. I only used the word "guide" as it didnt seem to have all the components you would normally see on a protection system. Just an observation.... thanks for the information...

It might be the guard support.....Not saying it is that for sure but they might be waiting on a part or having it repaired if its been damaged elsewhere
