I wish mate! I'd quite happily take a 220D at the minute! I'm kinda addicted to Volvos ATM,always looking for pics and watching videos of them! Lol need to get some stick time on them! Lol

They are nice looking machines i'll give them that, the Ec140d looks the business. We've just got an 8 ton Volvo in work, i'll be very interested to see how we get on with it. On a Js145 Jcb atm and i find her a dream to use so cant complain, grades like silk and is extremely good on fuel even on full revs in Auto mode.

Im deffinately going to try and persuade my gaffer to look at volvo when the time to trade my machine in comes! Ive never faulted our JS's to be honest...i mean we've had alot of trouble with our 07 160 but i was on that a fortnight ago and even though its 5 years old its still a good machine in my eyes! Our 220 is in my opinion the best machine we have....runs rings round our ZX210-3's! The 145 we have is an earlier one i think and isnt the best but id still be more than happy too spent the shift in it! I have to admit i did like the look of the 140D at hillhead.....just preferred its bigger brothers! lol
