Rare little backhoe I used to operate/maintain back in the late 80,s Only one in the UK I was led to believe. This is a scan of the sales brochure mine had a full cab.

Never seen a Yanmar, but from the pics looks very similar to an early 80's Kubota - RW30 springs to mind.
Looks like a useful piece of kit.

Hi, Nick AKA digger.
Int'resting'. There were a few of them made their way DowNunder around that time, Funny thing is I think there were possibly more of them used in nurseries and landscape supply yards than on construction sites, usually without the backhoe. They were a good size for loading box trailers and utilities.

Happy Noo Yeer.

Just my 0.0.2

In the States and possibly other markets, Yanmar still offer a model - the CBL40:

Hi thanks for that link, interesting to see a modern version would appear that it has got a bit bigger than the 21 :gooodpost:
