10 tonne class “Duck” market raises massive interest

There was a time in the UK when wheeled excavators were somewhat frowned upon as something only the Central Europeans were keen on. As with many ideas, it has taken a while for folk in the UK to “cop on” to the versatility of these machines, which when fully loaded with a complete arsenal of attachments offer unprecedented flexibility on a wide variety of applications and that I feel could potentially see a further decline in the traditional backhoe loader market.
