In case you guys didn't see this, it looks like we are getting some fantastic new models! The 1400 7.1 and it looks like YCC finally made the AK 680. I really like that 1750, going to be very expensive for Sarens fans if these all come out around the same time!!

i have a YCC generic LTM 1400 8.1 with the jib and i can say it's almost worth the higher premium....lol....

AK680 will be VERY EXPENSIVE with all the jib sections addon kits needed... I am figuring about $2000+? guess have to start saving up now? lol

I don't think the AK 680 will be too highly priced. I would imagine around the same as the 1800, maybe a bit higher. If they go too high priced they don't really move that well (depending on numbers produced). You can still buy a brand new AMK 1000 because they cost so much and the last one was released back in 2014. That new 1400 is going to be really nice!

AK680 WILL cost a lot in my book... almost all the cranes i have i also got the jib as well as numerous extension sets to build max height configuration. So i am sure when you add in the jib as well as multiple extension set it will easily cost $2000+

IF the AK680-3 was ever made, it would be expensive. And trust me, that is a big if at the moment. That poster has been around for a while also.

AK680-3 Sarens there is only one due to the Terex cab on it so the numbers that can be produced are minimal. But some components are shared with the AMK1000-103 so that might help. Whilst I’m hopeful, I’m not holding my breath!

LTM 1750-9.1 Sarens still highly unlikely at the moment.

Oh that's too bad, I thought this was a new poster with the new 1400 and 1800 boom trailer being show cased. I didn't realize it has been around for a while. Got my hopes up seeing that 1750.
