Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

So I have ordered one of Vario's excavators.
I chose their Hitachi 870 to make it fit in with my wheelloader and trucks.

Pictures of the machine can be found at Vario's website :)

Congratulations ! !
Let us know how long it takes to receive it and if you enjoy putting it together. It sure seems to be a real dirt moving machine...
Enjoy

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

Thanks guys :)

It's almost three weeks since I ordered it so it should not take so long to get it home now.
If I understood them correctly, it should be ready to ship next week :)

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

I wish I could have the $$$ power to have one those for my self.:D Congrats and lots of fun!!!

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

They sure do look good, going to have to save my pennies if I want to get one. Oh wait Canada just announced they will do away with the penny!

Nice start! It is massive!

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

Thanks everybody for nice comments :)

In order to attach the drive properly, I had to grind down a slight edge so that the gear in the gearbox went free.
