Spot on. Enough power in a small (ish) package.

I suppose all the technology needed to do some jobs does take up space, but you'd think there would be somewhere in the market for a small machine. Even the U20 was pretty massive. The last real light machine I think was the U90 - something I've looked at and considered.

If my 406 had just a bit more power it would be much more user friendly. I don't mind the noise or the cramped cab. What does bother me is not being able to do more than about 30mph up a hill even when empty! Driving your 1450 was an eye opener. That's an incredible machine and one that I will always hope to own one day.
