But in my opinion, Conrad's models are still stronger and easier to repaint & customize, they usually offer lots of options (compared to the LR1750 anyways, and also good offer of aftermarket non-Conrad parts as YCC: hooks, boom pins, shackles, pulleys...) and they are more robust which can be a concern if you like to play it or reconfigurate often. But I assume that model will be very popular too, so I would'nt be surprised that YCC jumps in the wagon and start offering replacement parts for the LR1600 too... All in all, the precision in details of NZG is the best, and that's where it is hitting high in the evaluation. I would say, if you can afford a few cranes in your collection, have one NZG for the show and a Conrad for frequent configurations. I would make the same comparison for excavators between WSI (detailed as NZG) and Norscot (robust as Conrad's but even more bangs for your bucks).

Ycc has already made walkway kits for the 1600, which is a great add on, other than that, I don't see what else it needs, except maybe extensions, floating tray, or jacks. Other than that, this model is pretty much perfect! Could perhaps use an opening cab door

Is this the old LTM 1400 or the new LTM 1400-7.1?

I would imagine that it would be the LTM 1400-7.1 but I do not know for sure. Paul R
