First impressions count, and Ron’s like a kid in a lolly shop when he climbs up into the cab.

“I’ve owned a few loaders in my life and operated quite a few as well, and this has to be the best-appointed cabin that I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in,” he says.

Added to that, the operators’ view is incredible, he adds: “You can see everything from this seat.”

Turning to the machine’s single-lever control, Ron’s eyes light up again: “It’s 4-in-1 for your 4-in-1 bucket. Because this loader has got the third valve on it — it’s an integrated tool carrier as well. Thumbs up twice from me for that.”
