First Try Of The New Takeuchi TB210R Mini Excavator.

[@genecoppedge5972]

That’s an impressive little machine, sure beats using a shovel.

[@darrenwilliams3915]

Good driving 👏👏

[@trinifirst6702]

good for digging already loose soil? :-)

[@centralwestern]

Put it into some hard ground this is ground that’s just been backfilled.

[@hannese1470]

Did you ever try the bobcat e10 Because this is a very simular machine with comfort and a lot of power for its size

[@neilthedigger]

Hi yes I also own a bobcat e10. It's a great little digger.

[@michaela3562]

If you were to own one machine would it be the Tak 210 or the Bobcat E10?

[@tds0727]

Hi Neil, the specs for the 210 and the E10 are similar but the bucket breakout force is significantly stronger (on paper at least) with the 210 over the E10. Having operated both can you tell a difference?

[@neilthedigger]

TrevorTrainer Hi there isn’t much difference between both machines performance wise. Both are very capable for their size. I find the bobcat more comfortable for me to operate but the build quality on the takeuchi is better. I think it really comes down to personal preference. Thanks Neil

[@thegreat1548]

​@@neilthediggerhow much it cost?

[@NeirinCedric]

Very stern. Look like you're digging somebody a grave!

[@tomlinnett5245]

How does this compare to the Bobcat E10?

[@neilthedigger]

To be fair there isn't much in it between the two. The Takeuchi is a bit quicker and lifts higher but the bobcat is a bit narrower with the tracks in. They are both very capable machines for their size.

[@anguspaton3821]

Hi Neil, I'm looking at buying a Takeuchi 210r or bobcat e10, which one do you think is best. Thanks

[@neilthedigger]

I personally prefer the Bobcat E10. Cheers

[@nugg3y]

[@neilthedigger]

I think they are coming out about £13k +VAT ish with a hitch and a set of buckets.

[@nugg3y]

Cute

the blade is supposed to be in the front

[@parsdajz]

try to dig solid ground

[@yanmarb05]

I have had a bad intermittent shudder in my 210 have you experienced anything. Takeuchi will not replace my machine only give me a full refund.

[@neilthedigger]

Hi the only thing I have noticed with mine is when you Rev it sometimes it splutters a bit then picks back up is that the problem you are experiencing?

[@yanmarb05]

There have been a few problems- Firstly on the first day i noticed a really bad shudder would start and then fade away, secondly it cut out on me 3 times as if it was out of fuel. Fitters stripped all the pipes cleaned fuel tank and filters. a word of warning if you are going to remove the fuel tank you will struggle to get things back into place, everything seemed to be under huge pressure. Takeuchi then picked the machine up and changed the following, 3 injectors and fuel pump changed but claimed there was one partially blocked and nothing wrong with the other 2 and were changed out of precaution. Returned to me with a fuel rail leak and shudder still there. Told them i wanted a refund or new machine and was told i could only have a refund. The way everything sprung out of place when unbolted was a little worrying it is as if the engine and components have been placed into too small a compartment. Going to go for the bobcat E10.

[@neilthedigger]

+yanmarb05 Hi to be honest I also run a Bobcat E10 and it is a better machine. I am looking to sell my TB210,it's a shame because all the other Takeuchi's I have owned have been great.

[@yanmarb05]

neil can you raise the front blade when the tracks are fully out and then operate for the tracks to retract under full pressure. My front blade goes down to roughly half way even though it calls for the tracks to be operated.

[@neilthedigger]

+yanmarb05 I have just checked mine the blade does drop a bit but not that much.

[@timcheek5134]

First the blade needs to be towards the digging and how about digging in undisturbed soil

[@rogerwoodland2587]

simple just use the right tool for the job.

[@HughzieTube]

I've seen a 10yo operate one better than this amateur!!! Just kidding. lol Do these machines have any Emissions Filter Junk on them?

[@neilthedigger]

👍😂 my 10 year old can out operate me no problem. I know that they will meet all emission standards,how they achieve this I am not sure.
