The key in our business is versatility, says Nass. You can no longer afford to buy a machine that only does one thing to keep moving and making money, you ve got to have it do everything and anything. This machine has been extremely popular with our crew for this purpose, which, I admit, is a little unique, reports Nass. We never envisioned it being used this way. In addition to employing a variety of bucket sizes for its 35zts, SJN also uses a breaker and is planning to purchase an auger in the near future.
Excavators is their ample power.
Cioni was considering going to the next largest size, the 35zts, because he was concerned with the need for extra power. In a lot of these commercial buildings, we have to pull up existing concrete slabs, but we haven t run into a situation where the 27zts has not been able to do the job, he recalls. It is the smallest unit in our lineup but it has never failed us or let us down for a little guy, it has got plenty of power. Customers are also pleasantly surprised by the control and feel of these machines. I was digging with it about a week ago and was actually able to feel a small-gauge electrical line with it, Nass remembers.
