I preordered the 988 Millyard loader and the 775G dumptruck at a dealer to pick them up a local truckshow here in Belgium. The 988 loader had every single rivet connection on the loader arm and grapple touched up with a different shade of cat yellow, just dabs of paint everywhere. The 775G had several small damages to the paint work and the biggest one could not be seen from outside the box as it was on the right hand side of the dump box, it rubbed the packaging. The seller will replace them both and he will let me check them before I pay for them. There was another shop selling Tonkin models and I really liked the 966K wheelloaders but after unpacking three of them which had damages to the paintwork on the loader arm, I gave up. I already have a standard 988 with bucket and that one is spotless. I can now say I will never buy a Tonkin model from an online shop, every model I buy will have to be checked, that is iff I ever buy another.  Thomas but but but...this cant be true....Chuck assured us damaged models are VERY rare and isolated incidents.
There are two rules for success: 1. Never tell everything you know.

We get the @&$@&$$ point. They aren't all perfect. Buy it or don't, but please quit whining about it.
Thank you!
