In 2008 Seppo Veli Laitamaa from Tornio, Finland purchased a used Kobelco SK135SRLC from us and was very pleased with its condition and overall performance, so when Seppo was looking for a slightly unusual machine to help him in his Forest, he returned again to us for some help and advice.

Seppo believed that a 2001 Barford SX9000 (9T) Dumper that we had in stock would be the ideal unit for him.

The machine has been fully serviced and any repairs that were required had been carried before it was shipped to Finland.

        An hydraulic tail (front) gate was made & fitted and for the very harsh Finnish weather a weather cabin, with a very much appreciated heater was fabricated, last of all a good coat of paint and new decals were applied.

The large balloon tyres fitted as standard to this Barford dumper has also had its advantages when traveling in the deep snow.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Seppo once again for his continued support and custom.
